In one season they played Florida Florida stale and Miami. They be also played Tampa Back when Svic fans thought it was a Junior College. Too bad the cougars Aren t in the conference race this season. The picture is already confusing and icy could make it even More murky. Lust As a guess i d have to rank them second or third hut Lack of previous performances against the entire league would make it nothing More than a guess. A Potpourri Arkansas in perhaps repeat perhaps the worst shape of any of the Svic teams plays four non conference foes who had an aggregate record of 27-18-1 last season.
