A win tomorrow would be huge, but I doubt it's going to happen. Its pretty tough to win in Austin, and while they might be a little overrated this is still a solid tu team. I think the Ags lose a close one.

Either way I am excited for it. It will be a close game for sure.

I know comparing scores is irrelevant, BUT Texas beat Ark by about 40, while A&M beat Ark in ot.

Who is coaching there these days? Nolan Richardson? High expectations this year with Corliss Williamson and Scotty Thurman leading the way.

Ahh...those were great days. National championships and regular trips to the final 4.
John Pelphrey is now in his 4th year of a failed rebuilding effort at Arkansas. He has driven the program from mediocre to irrelevant. Fan interest is ZERO. Total apathy.

Man those were the good ol days. What happened? I used to enjoy the work of the Razorback as a young Frampton.

Nolan got lazy and stopped recruiting. His quote was "i don't recruit, I select." No great players=less wins= pissed off fans=pissed off Nolan. Things got ugly, Ark fired Nolan and it all unraveled. If AR can ever beg Mike Anderson (mizzou) to come home, he could turn it around. Doubt it ever happens, too much bad blood.

The more I think about it, the more I think tu will win this game.
They have played better competition, we're coming off a tough game and going into a tough stretch, winning on the road is incredibly hard.
I hope I am wrong.

Yea I can see that. The more this year goes on the more I understand how good heir defense is and how much it can frustrate another team. I just dont know how well it will do against really good teams over and over.

Really, though, this comparison was made on rivals...
Record vs Top 50 RPI:
sips 3-2
Ags 4-1
Record vs Top 100 RPI:
sips 3-3
Ags 4-1
sips top 50 RPI wins: 18, 25, 34
Ags top 50 RPI wins: 20, 27, 33, 43
sips worst loss: 87
Ags ONLY loss: 36
Still think the sips will win this one though.

Someone said that they thought the Aggies had never won in Austin. At first I thought they were crazy but then I started thinking that the times we have beat them in the past 6 years have maybe all been at home. I haven't actually took the time to find the correct answer though.
