Kansas State Football / Re: does playing Arkansas hurt the image of our program

Fellow Arkansas fans your just fueling the fire by responding to them about Garrett. They don't care how many names you call them or what you say. They are obviously young college guys with no children, b/c as a parent, you know that you don't wish losing a child on anyone. One day when they have children they will understand, but as of right now you can't argue with a college frat boy. Leave it alone, its not a good way to honor Garrett's memory by having him blasted all over some blog.

Just a few snipets from some sports sites talking about the 2012 Cotton Bowl. Enjoy!

However, even amidst a growing challenge from multiple conferences, the Southeastern Conference, or SEC, still appears the most talented and toughest conference in all of college football.
Unlike most conferences, where only a team or two dominate, the SEC provides challenges for teams in the conference on a weekly basis. Even the lower quality teams in the division, such as Vanderbilt and Kentucky, in no way prove easy victories for opponents. The last five BCS National Champions hail from the SEC. Florida 2006, LSU 2007, Florida 2008, Alabama 2009, Auburn 2010. Other conferences such as the Big-12 do provide some challenge to the supremacy of the SEC. After all, the Big-12 is itself laden with powerhouses such as Oklahoma and Texas. However, unlike the SEC, a number of teams in the Big-12 do not measure up to the broad range of talent evident in the SEC. Numerous teams in the conference such as Baylor, Texas A&M, Missouri, Colorado and Kansas State mathematically and skill wise do match up with the weakest teams in the SEC.

Arkansas enters the Cotton Bowl with a 10-2 record and leading the SEC in passing offense (307.8), total offense (445.8) and ranked 2nd in the league in scoring offense (37.4). Also the Razorbacks are 3-0 all-time in Cowboys Stadium with victories in the Southwest Classic each of the last three seasons.

Arkansas's only loses are to the top two teams in the country, LSU and Alabama, who also happen to be the same two teams ahead of them in the SEC-West which is considered the better half of the stacked SEC the toughest football conference in the NCAA.
