| I have a cousin in Nashville, he called last nigght to rub in the Husker win, I told him KSU was waxing Texas (we were up 21 at the time) he about crapped his pants.... but he was real excited to be heading out to the bars with a few guys who were Razorback fans..... I can only assume he is in a hospital somewhere this morning.

win the SEC title game and they may just get a shot at the national title. the "voters" want USC vs Ohoi St. / Mich. winner for the title, but if USC stumbles with Cal or UCLA that puts Arkansas in the drivers seat.
sssssoooooooooooooeeeeeeeeee

| If Mcfaddin stays healthy , he seems unstopable. The Arkansas offensive line weighs 316 for an average and they seem quick and smart. They sure make those pads pop. The annoucers were talking about how many times the o-line pancaked their defensive counterpart yesterday. I just looked at Mcfaddan's stats. He carried 30 times and averaged over 6yds per carry. Pretty impressive.

there used to be a sign over the KSU mens basketball locker room door that read "we graduate 72% of our players"
now with Huggins, who is famous for good ball players who are dumb as a 2x4 the sign reads "75% of my players are in the NBA''
very sad.

Among The Associated Press' Top 25 football teams, five schools met or exceeded the national average with Notre Dame leading the way at 95 percent. The others were Nebraska at 88 percent, Florida at 80 percent, TCU at 78 percent and Clemson at 77. The NCAA's figure for Florida nearly doubled the 42 percent rate from the federal report.
Three of the Top 25 schools had graduation rates below 50 percent. They were Texas (40 percent), Georgia (41) and California (44).
Top-ranked Ohio State and Southern California, the 2004 national champion, both came in at 55 percent.
Last season's national basketball champion, Florida, received a perfect 100 percent from the NCAA, while last year's women's basketball champion, Maryland, was at 71 percent.
"The good news is we are continuing to make overall progress," Brand said. "The trend lines are up and, with a few exceptions, the academic reforms we are continuing to lay, even in sports like football and basketball which historically lag, are showing progress."
Sports with the highest percentage of graduates were all on the women's side: fencing, field hockey, gymnastics and skiing all had a 94 percent graduation rate. Women's lacrosse was next at 93 percent, and women's swimming was 91 percent. Only one sport, women's bowling, produced a number lower than the national average -- 70 percent.
No men's sport topped 90 percent
