From where we started this has to be the most disappointing basketball season in the history of my life. 

We beat Purdue and I don't care both teams were trying and playing their asses off.

This team had the talent to be one of the nation's best but what we got was a symphony of dysfunction.

There should be a documentary on this team.  I hope we get one someday. 

I'll watch the tournament, I haven't cared about this team in weeks but now it's go time. 

Can Muss pull off a miracle?  This team CAN do it.  It would be somewhat fitting for us to win this thing given how weird the season has been.

To make it worse, we also beat those fuckbois at Dook.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

I think it's interesting  this was my comment a year ago on social media.

"Another game. Another lead. Another collapse. So ready for this team to just move on."

Problem was we didn't replace them with better. Or maybe the wrong people stuck around.

that is the baffling one. beat them but lose to vandy at home when BWA is worth 10-15 points.
Also might have been the worst thing that could have happened to this team as they went south fast after that one.

Trivia time.
 
Not a surprise to me – since we joined the SEC in 1991-92, we have the MOST SEC Tournament Championship game losses of anyone.  Five total.  We are the Champions of First Losers.

Somewhat of a surprise to me, the two teams tied for second, with four losses each.  Without going to google, give it a try.

The next tier of two teams with three losses each, one was a complete surprise.  The other seems like "yeah."  Again, name them.

So old timers here.  Some of my older relatives tell stories of the SWC tourney in Dallas.  

That day one the fans were evenly split.  Day two, a few more hog fans; etc.  Then by the championship game it'd be barnhill south.

Any of y'all go to those?  Must have been great.

I went to a couple under early Nolan. Good times indeed.

No trivia takers so:

Most championship game losses, 1992-present:

5 – Arkansas

4 – Kentucky, Florida

3 – Tennessee, A&M (they're closing on everyone else rapidly after getting a late start)

2 – Alabama, LSU, MS St., S Carolina (let's keep them from getting there this year)

1 – Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss

0 – Missouri, Vanderbilt

I went. Bought my tickets from TCU season ticket holders. It was never an even split. Hog fans outnumbered ALL the other teams combined from day one. Our numbers only increased as the tournament went on. In fact, during non-Arkansas games, cheerleaders from other teams would start hog calls to get Arkansas fans to cheer for them.

We ran the fucking show.

We used to go every year.  My parents would take me out of school to go/

I was at the last 3 SWC tourneys at Reunion. Hogs went 9-0 those 3 years, it was glorious.

We got Stackhouse fired, so we have that going for us.

I just saw that. He was COY just last year. Seems hasty to me, he had a shitty year but do they think they will find someone better?

I don't think he really did much account there. Kevin Stallings was winning somewhat there prior to them hiring Bryce Drew.

I don't imagine academic schools do so hot in the NIL game but it probably depends on the fan following and alumni
"I got fired for using free speech" yea imagine getting killed over it
