I'd say, at this point.....we're good.  I doubt we'd want to join the Big 8.  When was the last time a Big 8 team competed for a BCS National Championship?

2009. When was the last time Arkansas did anything notable? a Conference title? anything in the SEC other than a divisional championship and an asshanding in the title game by florida?

[Rage Against the McKee]

I added a poll so all the Arkansas fans can place their votes. This should be interesting.

You should stress that it's anonymous. They'd be embarrassed to admit their true desires in front of their own fanbase for fear of being outcasts.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think they might know, though, judging by the poll results. Apparently a lot of them are voting Big 12, then saying SEC in the thread. They must be afraid of SEC backlash from all of their buddies checking in on them.

Hey, I accidentaly voted yes so yal change it to no.

I'm severely underwhelmed by the quality of wal-mart aggie trollers.  I don't think I've heard come backs this bad since 8th grade.  Is all of Arkansas like the kid on the 8th grade basketball b-team who goes out of town and brags about how good his middle school's basketball team is because he gets to sit at the end of the bench for the a-team game but never gets in?  Usually I just assume the posters from other schools are just socks, but I know that's not the case this time.  goEMAW made socks are much better than these people.  "Hey, look at me, I can drop f-bombs and make jokes about periods, I'm cool" and "hey you guys are POSs, hahahaha"

Well, this is somewhat surprising. I knew most Arkansas fans wish they played in our conference, but I didn't think the margin would be this big. Sorry, pigs. We don't really want you.

West Virginia is a ton better in all sports except women's running.

I hope K-State is Warm under Mike Gundy, Mack Brown, Bob Stoops' nut sacks... Im sorry you guys aren't a good program... One good fluke year and you have the tradition of Notre Dame. We are on the rise as a program and are miles ahead of K-State. I mean LHC LHC Bill Snyder is good but what are you gonna do when he dies in 2 years. Damn I'm sure having the legendary LHC LHC Bill Snyder is great, he brings you 7-5 seasons if not worse regualry... Man I would put the K-State Wildcat Brand above anyones. haha, honestly you all are not a recognizable brand in your own shitty conference. Have fun sucking our dicks for the next 100 years. Maybe if Kansas State is lucky they will make it to a conference championship one day! But probably not... You have to beat the likes OU and OSU..They are really good

Ramble Much?   

Reading this diatribe made me sorry for your grade school English teacher.  The bitch never had a chance.

[JapesKSU]

We spent 76 years playing little brother to Texas before we grew a set and bolted for a better conference. No desire to go back. How much of that LHN money are you going to see next year?

Took you 76 years to grow a set? We already have a 72 year old set. He's scheeeming you as we speak. Watch us not worry.

76 years adds up fast when you have to put your coat, hat, and gloves on......walk around the back of the house, down the hill, around the tree, and find the out-house just to take a dump........then reverse it just to get back inside to a warm corn stove

[Hawgalude]

why did a K State fan make a thread about Arkansas joining the big 12? will not happen by the way and then have them voted up by K State fans?

You all will get to see what the 3rd or 4th best team in the SEC will do to your little ball club soon enough.

I made the poll because there was a very real rumor last summer that the Big 12 was considering sending Arkansas an invitation. I was just curious about what the Arkansas fans thought about the move.

The poll clearly states that only Arkansas fans should vote. We don't want you. Why would we create a poll that makes it appear as if Arkansas fans want to come here? We have nothing to gain. Deloss Dodds checks in on this board 3 or 4 times a day, and I for one do not want to give him the impression that Arkansas fans want to be in our conference.

You are a JOKE like your program and like your boards. While quite humorous and funny it has no basis in fact and is nothing more than moronic dribble from wannabes. Yeah the Big 12 reached out to us and we laughed in their faces. We made a BCS Sugar bowl last year, how about you? We also have Bama and LSU at home next season and have a chance with a better schedule to do even better than this season. You would be worse than the Mississippi schools if you played in our league. the best thing you all can do is know your role, shut your mouths and take your SEC ass whipping like a man instead of child like moron posts that while is getting you all noticed. Will make for EPIC FAIL when you can not live up to it.

Know what I mean?

[jmlynch1]

Wow. Wouldn't have guessed that Big 12 envy was as rampant in Faytethberg(?) as this poll suggests...can't argue with empirical evidence I suppose.

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

Wow, looks the pigsooeyaggie fans are currently 3-1 in favor of a Big 12 invite. I guess the jerks posting here are just a very vocal minority. Do you think all there rude comments will cause us to withdraw the invite? I'm kinda hoping we do and their stuck in they're backwater conference. We try to take them under our wing, and they's just being mean.

The Big 12 reached out to you? When did that happen? There were rumors that Arkansas might be invited, but Arkansas never received an invitation, just like BYU. Better luck next time.

[Hawgalude]

The sad part is you all probably do believe this, as funny as it is
It also went about as expected.

From the Arkansas News:

    He said the Big 12 did express interest in trying to lure Arkansas away from the SEC. Long didn’t provide any exact details, but said the conversation didn’t go far. He said Arkansas is strongly committed to the SEC.

    “I think that our program is such that there are a number of conferences that would love to add us as a member,” Long said. “But we’re strongly committed to the SEC. I’d be surprised if we weren’t reached out to by other conferences about joining them. That happened. It didn’t surprise me. But, again, we’re committed to the SEC. It’s the strongest conference in the country and is only going to get stronger.”


That's no big surprise.

I said all along that the Big 12 should explore that avenue as far as it went, and the league did. Big 12 expansion seems to be on hold now with Oklahoma mulling its own conference membership, but at least the Big 12 swung for the fences.

Chances were high that it would strike out with the Hogs, but the worst-case scenario (Arkansas saying no) wasn't exactly a nightmare.

Priority No. 1 now for the Big 12 is holding the league together, but if that happens, BYU may have a decision to make.

I'm sure Deloss called up Arkansas and informed them that they were under consideration. That article is just Arkansas reaffirming their commitment to the SEC, just like Missouri did for the Big 12 last year after the Big 10 reached out to them. Being under consideration is not the same thing as an invitation. Don't worry, though. You just might get an invitation some time over the next couple of years. There is still hope for you guys.

How many times do we have to reject your 2 trick pony of a conference before you get it through your thick skulls?

No matter how many times you KSU kittens vote for us to join your pathetic little conference, but it ain't gonna happen.

It seems you are in the minority amongst your brethren. The vote isn't even close.
