Pittman seems like a likeable guy who genuinely wants to be there, so I hope he gets Arkansas back to respectability. Just going to be a lengthy process.

Our series with them has been pretty strange since we joined the SEC. They had a stretch where they won 15 of 17 against us and we couldn't buy a win against them. And now we've won 7 of 8 against them. You just don't see division matchups like this very often where it goes from one team totally dominating the series for almost 20 years and then there's a big swing where the other team starts dominating the series for going on a decade now.
It's been a similar trajectory with Texas A&M for Arkansas. Arkansas owned them when they were both in the SWC and in 2009-2011 under Petrino but then Petrino was fired and Arkansas hasn't beaten A&M a single time since they joined the SEC.

Doesn't help that three of those were under John L. Smith and Chad Morris. Bielema wasn't great either but better than those two. At this point Houston Nutt's tenure at Arkansas doesn't look like too bad of an option.
