Welp. He’s off the board. Just verbaled to UPig. Griffin McDowell and Tyrone Sampson just became that much more important

Not a great sign, IMO. Ark Staff has beat us for 3 guys in the last few weeks and they started around the same time as our staff.
**** doesn’t make sense to me. It’s arkansas, WTF are they selling that we can’t
Whatever happened to that Willie Allen kid that was at LSU? I saw he was playing at a Juco in TX. Was a 4* OL out of John Curtis in Nola.
Maybe he googled pictures of Starkville. Or realized MSU will go back to the basement of the west now that Mullen is gone.
So fayettnam is so much better? Don’t get those hopes up too high, y’alls annual beating will continue.
Well, yeah.

Congrats on beating the first coach to ever lose to you in the state of Arkansas
I have been to Fayetteville and it is a ******** that makes Oxford look like paradise. Starkville is way better than that dump. Fayetteville is just a dressed up Pine Bluff!
Oof Pine Bluff is awful. That might literally be one of the worst towns in America.
I lived in Arkansas for 4 years so hear is the deal. Little Rock is the capitol Jackson could only dream to be. It is that good.
The Northwest Arkansas area really grew as a result of Walmart attracting a lot of populations. Now the University of Arkansas specifically is shockingly one of the worst maintained campuses I have been on. The only thing it has to it is that I love the Mountains. But they could renovate just about anything. And their pieced together football stadium makes Vaught Hemmingways look like Genius architects. Have you seen their new expansion? What a terrible design. I myself perfer Starkville to Fayettville. If the Golden Triangle could develop even 1/4th of what that NWA is, we would be in much better shape. But it is what it is.
Starkville is just now figuring out its potential. The new Walmart is a gamechanger imo. The Cotton District is blossoming. Really better than most SEC towns in that respect. And as much as I hate the U turns, the new 12 is good without the timed traffic lights.

As long as the hogs are still in the west, MSU will NEVER have to worry about being last. It took a couple of years .. BUT we know how to beat the pigs.

I agree with most of that wtw. Looks like Greg Brady designed the UofArk campus and it has not been renovated since. Now their sports venues are first class.
NWA and the GTR are not even comparable. NWA is more comparable to the MS coast or Desoto County MS but NWA is even nicer than those MS places IMO. More money, shopping, employment....The mountain and the lakes up there are spectacular too.
As for recruiting to their vs here....pros are NWA is bigger town with more shopping etc. cons...three hours from everywhere. Starkville is two. Ha! The local media and citizens are 99 percent Razorback. Not so much in the GTR. Of course, i wonder how different NWA would be if UofOklahoma was located in Tulsa and had won 17 national championships.
Anyways. My .02.

Oh no doubt. They are not comparable now. I was just trying to say it is a shame that GTR isn't even a fourth of what it is. All things considered it is a better area than anything Mississippi offers sadly.
Going up to that area I have seen plenty of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State fans. Of course Missouri is not that far away either. But yeah Arkansas would have to deal with the issues State does if Oklahoma was in Tulsa.

(Addressing generalities from comments above, not anyone specific) I've lived on AR for 20 years. I frequently travel to NWA and live near LR. True, AR's campus isn't the most beautiful in the SEC. It is certainly not as nice as MSU. But for folks to say that Fayetteville or the rest of NWA isn't a great place to live, travel to, and/or shop is laughable. That region is consistently ranked as one of the best places in the country to raise a family and is filled to the brim with thriving businesses. Said corporations are funneling money into "quality of life" projects more than likely being done in the rest of AR and whole state of MS combined. Fayetteville and Bentonville in particular would be awesome areas to live and recreate in. The scenery of the Ozarks and local lakes are outstanding.
What the UPig itself has over MSU or Ole Miss is a long-standing winning tradition in almost every sport. As I state fan, I have just accepted that outside of the last thirty years in baseball, our records in various sports are checkered at best. I definitely believe our university is on the upswing. So is Starkville. But there's an ocean-sized difference in living in the GTR vs. NWA.
As far as recruits going up there vs. MSU, they have a proven, new, hc compared to our unproven, new, hc. I expect Moorhead to do well. But, Morris is a southerner with deep Texas roots. Immediate advantage, AR. Long term, we shall see. I'm not worried right now. NWA may be great; but, I still love MS & will always call it my home. Go Bulldogs!
First of all, the other Arkansas poster's comments were unnecessary so sorry about that. The gap is controversial but it's being left like that on purpose so that people can watch the game from a hill outside the stadium, traditions and such. Comparing Fayetteville to Pine Bluff is ridiculous though, NWA is one of the fastest growing areas of the country with low crime and unemployment, Pine Bluff is the complete opposite. Milken Institute ranked the MSA as the 25th best-performing area in the United States.
You'll probably beat us again this year lol, but that's not really saying much. Unfortunately we're in our worst 5 year stretch since the 1950's. We'd never finished last in the west before our former coach came along.

We definitley had our battles in the 90s till y’all ran off that 9 game streak. Hopefully that never happens again, and I really don’t expect it too.
Arkansas has better history, but since I’ve been alive, I’ve always considered us fairly similar, maybe Arky having a slight advantage with its Texas base and money.
Wow, that actually looks a lot like Davis-Wade Stadium here at MSU but with a more dressed up exterior at least along the sideline portion.
I'm glad you guys got rid of the warehouse with the garage door in that endzone. I know it must've given y'all a thrill when the team raised that garage door and took the field. It was real classy. The wide jumbotron on top of it was nice though....it kinda took me back to my old great uncle who had the console TV that didn't work, and a different, working TV sitting on top of it.
You do see the * (sarcasm), don't you? I'm pretty sure that was meant for those who think the sky is falling.
First of all, this roothawg clown sounds like one of those hairy buttcrack nimrods straight off Hogville, pay him no mind
Second of all, again, it's immediate PT at Arkansas, whereas we are having to slowplay guys because of our limited spots, I mean come on, we're talking about 3 star dudes here, not Malik Heath
Third of all, sorry, but Fayetteville is pretty nice, but MSU is much nicer than Univ of Arkansas, rest easy
That said, get out of here pig boy, no one cares about you, go join the Big 12. Not you hogfan14, you are cool

I would say I've been called worse, can't think of a single time that I have, but since your picnic baskets a sandwich shy, I'll let it slide.
