Obscure Facts About Your Football Program

Oops, used the wrong dates here.  Bigdawgs was right about '25 and 26.
My results were early years of Woodruff at Fla.

Whew KU.  For a moment there I thought maybe the Supreme Court Judge was coaching the Gators on the side.   Based on those scores in 52 and 53, maybe the other justices were the officials.   

Well, the must have dropped, or another team wouldn't be #1.  I was impressed enough that they were the only team to play 3 #1 teams.

Let's see, Syracuse was #1 the week after playing Kansas, but dropped to #4 in both polls after beating Holy Cross.  Iowa lost to Minnesota the week after playing Kansas, and of course Kansas knocked Missouri down (I bet that feels good).  For the record, Kansas still counts the win over Missouri, but Missouri takes the forfeit and also counts the win.

That was Kansas' only win over a #1 team.

The Razorbacks started out as the Cardinals hence the schools colors being Cardinal and White. Our program gained national prominence after a win in a tough game and  the coach at the time commented that the team routed around in the mud like a wild band of Razorbacks. The nickname stuck.

Arkansas football had humble beginings. Our first two games were against high school teams which we won. The third and last game of the season came against Texas which you can probably imagine how that one turned out. (58-0)

Texas is our Rival not only from the SWC days but from the begining of our program. The rivalry heated up when the SWC was a two team race between Arkansas and Texas for a couple of decades. Some Texas fans like to whiff on Arkansas as a Rival probably due to snobbery and the fact that the record sits at 75% Texas over Arkansas. Considering that they were our only opponent for many years as an independent that number is a bit misleading. Arkansas is 2-1 with since the start of the BCS and Texas returns to Arkansas this year.

Arkansas and Alabama both claim a National Championship for the same season. That season ended with Bama losing to Texas while Arkansas finished undeafeted including a win over Texas.
