🏈 In today's SEC what is "Arkansas being Arkansas."

A tweet that caught my eye over the last 24 hours.

I thought the move of Bielema (wanting to build a strong running based team) was a good one at the time. Yes, it can be said he was creating another Wisconsin: or hoped to. Yet, it wasn't more than two years in to where he started changing their offensive philosophy by attacking through the air.

Enter Morris ... which I interpreted as another Petrino type hire hoping he could bring a high scoring offense in for the 'Backs. I didn't expect him to do well given what he had on the roster though it was getting there with more athletic linemen on offense.

Now, we're left with watching their fans question, "who are we?" A good question, if you ask me. Just what does this mean?

 
Arkansas is a school at least 40 years removed from being relevant. The last time they were ranked in the top 20 at the end of the season 3 or more years in a row was 1977-1979 and they have only been ranked 11 times at the end of the year since then (5 times ranked two years in a row and one lonely one). Their best seasons since 1979 were ones with 2 losses (1982,1985,1988,1989,2011) Including after the 1979 season, they have been to 26 bowl games and went 9-17 in them. Is Arkansas sure they really want to be Arkansas and not try to figure out something else?
