He's "puffing himself up" by trying to justify his demotion from Wisconsin to Arkansas (yes, that's a downgrade) by comparing conferences. It's typical meatballery This is a discussion that will never go anywhere, but I'll bite. How is Wisconsin to Arkansas a downgrade? I would consider the programs to be of equal stature in their respective conferences and nationally, and there's not even a question about stepping up to a bigger, richer, better conference. The Hogs have sucked the last 2 years, but in the last 10 years they have twice been 1 late season loss away from playing for a National Title. Ark/Wisconsin: Conference titles-13/14 National titles-1/0 Wins-682/653 All Americans-23/22 Yeah, it feels like at best a lateral move, though it's easier to win at Wiscy now, thus making it easier to get/maintain a national profile as a coach.
