Indiana is light years away from even catching duke and they’re 3rd or 4th all time
Programs that use to be relevant

Ah I got confused I though you meant indiana would somehow start challenging Kentucky if they started getting deep tournament runs my bad
LOL. Never happen. They'll be lucky to make the tournament this year, and will fall farther back in third place in overall wins. Not much coming back if their two stars go pro, as expected. And Roy has never dominated with a freshman-laden team, as Cal has. Pretty soon they have to transition from Roy to a new coach, and that is a crap shoot.
Also -- whether they will ever admit it -- the GIGANTIC cheating scandal has tainted their DNA. I've known lifetime Carolina fans who were smug and supercilious about the "Carolina Way" and who tried to claim they had an edge over Kentucky as a program on moral grounds, based on the 1980s scandal in Lexington. That arrogance is completely erased. They know details like entire championship teams taking fake AF-AM classes and Rashad McCants admitting he did zero work while making the Dean's List will haunt them for decades.
I sure wish they had been sanctioned. If any program EVER deserv...
LMAO good post bro just feel like we need to extend that title gap by 3 here soon some Carolina fans count that 1924 helms title and say they’re about to catch uk [roll]
I don't disagree with you. I was moreso pointing out how some posters think it's funny to post year in and year out how irrelevant our rivals are--but if they're so irrelevant, why are we still going on and on about them?
My favorite part is when one of you wanted to ignore almost a quarter of a century to make it seem better. If you have to ignore the last 20+ years, that should tell you something. San Francisco has more titles than Arkansas but let’s ignore their recent plight. I made a comment and Arkansas fans are trying to flex because it hurt their feelings. My comment wasn’t even intended to be painful but now that I see you guys have the same character your team generally displays I’m glad it is.

from ‘77-‘93 they had 15 tournament appearances, 7 sweet 16’s, 4 elite 8’s, 1 FF. both iu and ark would take that success right now.
Haven’t made it out of the first round in 23 years but ermahgahd we upper echelon. Lol just no Arkansas
Well, that is a good one. I imagine both could be correct depending what your meaning is. In the context of this thread I would go with "Use to be relevant". However, for the other version you might say cheating is what UNC used to be relevant for around 25 years give or take. In the first example, Use refers to a point in time in the past. In the second example Used is a verb and refers to how the team acquired its so called relevance.

San Francisco isn’t even in the top 50 in all-time winning percentage. You’re being purposefully obtuse. Tennessee football has been down a while too but is still widely considered a top 15 football program. Just because a school makes some bad hires doesn’t mean that the infrastructure or potential isn’t there to reach that ceiling again. Even if UK missed the tournament for the next 20 years straight you would still be a top 5 program.
We'd burn all of college basketball to the ground like Keyser Soze before we would stand for missing the next 20 years of the tournament.
10 of the last 23 years with no postseason of any kind, whatever you had is gone. Haven’t gone past the first round in 23 years, cold hard truth. The thread is about used to be relevant, Arkansas is no longer relevant. Live in the past if you want, you are a mediocre program right now and have been for nearly a quarter of a century. That’s a very long time to do nothing and claim you’re somebody, quarter of a century.
Lol at comparing UK and Arkansas in any type of example, UK is the epitome of consistency and the poster child for excellence across decades or coaches. Arkansas had a couple of moments but there are thirty year olds that only know a poor Arkansas. You’ll never get back to the mid 90’s era, the press doesn’t work anymore and Arkansas couldn’t adjust to the post press era. You capitalized on a gimmick as UK did at the time, keep the memories.

Thank you
You continue to pole vault over mouse turds trying to create hyperbole that isn't there. Nobody really cares about your opinion. It's irrelevant.
A 23 year old mouse turd that says Arkansas is irrelevant and my opinion matters or you wouldn’t be over here flexin’.

LMAO i knew you were a child. Could tell by your avatar. LOLOLOL
I haven't flexed once. Your defense scares the hell out of me but i think we will beat you this year in Bud. Would that be flexing or just talking hoops?
I laugh at Arkansas downfall to mediocrity, you really believe the early to mid 90’s just left. I know it hurts you to be irrelevant but that’s not my fault and it’s true whether I post it or not. Arkansas has made less than half of the last 23 tournaments and had no postseason for 10 of those years. You’re mad at the math, it hurts you that I’m pointing out the truth. You should address that problem instead of name calling and blaming an avatar.
You are absolutely the most awkward wanna-be important fan I've ever run across. Not a single Rustled Jimmy on my end. I am literally laughing my *** off at every word you type.
No you’re not laughing and everybody knows it, you are very mad and want so bad to get even because I said Arkansas is mediocre. I’m literally laughing at the anger for nothing, you guys are super sensitive about the fall of your program. I’m glad Arkansas is irrelevant, now that is funny.
Was that taken 23 years ago? You know what’s so satisfying, I know Arkansas is not coming back.
Yeah, you were six months old. LMAO. You know nothing about anything. Hell, you've only voted once
You need to discuss the 23 years that prove Arkansas is mediocre instead of routinely breaking board rules.
Same with UT football. Hope they uncover something bad to completely dismantle the program
I agree with the first paragraph, however I attribute our mediocrity to bad coaching hires while you seem to suggest it’s a program issue. Obviously if something has been done somewhere before it’s proven that it can be done again. There are teams like Auburn and Texas Tech going to final fours that don’t have near the fan support, facilities or cache for basketball that Arkansas does. Why? Because they have two of the best coaches out there.
Even as mediocre as Anderson was we still finished with the 3rd best record in the SEC his last 5 years only behind Kentucky and Florida. It’s not like we’ve necessarily been awful. He just could never do anything in the tournament.
