Arkansas shouldn’t accept mediocrity on the gridiron

I grew up in a time where Arkansas Football was in the transitional stage of being competitive each season in football. Then head coach Houston Nutt gave fans optimism and hope while establishing the Razorbacks as players in the SEC.

The conference was nowhere near as competitive in the 1990s and early 2000s as it is today. But, it sure did get stronger by the end of Nutt’s tenure. Plus, he won an outright SEC Western division title in 2006 with a 7-1 record. His Hogs were a muffed punt away from likely pulling off its first SEC Championship.

Of course that stretch of ball between 2006-2011 was the ultimate Razorback SEC experience since joining the conference. There’s certainly nothing wrong…
