Sometimes, Arkansas football feels like a social experiment where researchers are trying to measure how much pain fans can endure while still supporting their program.
Consider that after the agony of Arkansas coming up just short vs Tennessee on Saturday, the Hogs are now 17-44 in one-score games since 2012. According to Stathead, that .279 winning percentage is the worst nationally over that span, behind the likes of UMass (.289, 11-27), Florida Atlantic (.314, 16-35) and Kansas (.326, 15-31).
Forget four-letter words. Kids growing up anywhere from Bentonville to Little Rock are liable to get their mouths washed out with soap for uttering “fumble” too loudly in front of their parents.
