re: Why do Arkansas fans act like their win over Texas was such a big deal

Texas leads the all-time series with the pigs 56-22.

Did you ever notice that whenever the prowess of texas university football is mentioned, their fans always revert back to their wins back in the 40's, 50's and 60's?

To those that do not know the truth, here it is: The NCAA did not have a scholarship limit back in those days. If there was a player they wanted, they had enough money to give him a scholarship. That had free education for just about anyone. When the NCAA started limiting scholarships and the number of players you could suit up, parity began.

In the future when you hear a t-sip flaunting a win/loss record check it out yourself. You will find that most of those wins came before the NCAA made it fair.

For a much clearer picture of win/loss go back 20 years to today.
