[SIZE="1"](1) Here is Arkansas' basketball tradition: They haven't been to the Final Four in 12 years, they've won exactly seven conference tournament championships in their history (and only one in the SEC, in 2004 well after their Final Four years), haven't made the Elite Eight since 1995 (their last Final Four appearance) and haven't even smelled a Sweet Sixteen since 1996. Is that history one that makes you think "basketball powerhouse?"

I thought not.[/SIZE]

Here is Arkansas basketball tradition. Even the non biased rankers know it..>>LINK

8th best program all time in college basketball according to Smith and Streets rankings. Six Final Four appearances, a place that holds over 20,000 people, 7 SEC Tournament Championships, 22 Southwest Conference Championships, 29 tournament bids, and only 8 schools have more tournament bids and final fours than Arkansas.

I said they had great tradition. I didn't once say they had been doing good recently but only a fool would think Arkansas isn't a top job in the country to take. A&M isn't even a top 100 program. How many final fours has A&M ever had?

I don't honestly understand why you're getting so personal with this but you need to take it easy. Arkansas is a good job, and they need a big name coach to come in. I don't find it hard to believe that Gillispie would take it.
