We always underestimate Arkansas and typically barely escape with a lucky bounce. I see the zoo has already penciled this in as an easy W just like our team usually does.

This is their Super Bowl and they will play their game of the year against us just like they always do. Not to mention this is the last time they get the advantage of playing in Tx and not being the away team.

Go ahead and plan a picnic Saturday if you can't handle a tight game that doesn't end in a lucky oink doink.

Me? I like to miss my bets so I'm going all in on pig covering the ridiculous +3.5 spread to see if I can't ruin my Saturday regardless of what happens.

The hate is not quite the same.. They definitely hate us more.

After BG I wouldn't expect overconfidence to be much of an issue.

We are 11-1 in the last 12 games.

Try again.

I don't think past seasons have any bearing on this matchup. At least not in our favor.

Both teams are mediocre. The game could go either way.

We're not their Super Bowl. We're a myth in our self-absorbed minds. A recent poll was taken to determine Arkansas' main rival. In order: LSU, Texas, Ole Miss, Missouri.

Underestimate? We have lost to them one time since joining the SEC

Doesn't surprise me.

We're not going to be playing them annually going forward imo.

That's just them being petty because they hate us so much.

We've already had this convo . I know you think Jerruh has the pull to make it happen. We'll see. Neither one of us knows.

But out of 16 SEC programs, why would they eliminate Arkansas of all schools off the permanent schedule?

Arkansas checks every box

Distance between schools
History between schools
Rivalry game
Viewership
$$$$

As much as the DFW haters cringe over the thought of the game continuing. I think yall are in for some bad news

Because Texas and LSU are no brainers for our permanent opponents and same for Arkansas , and the SEC would rather have them play Mizzou as a 3rd due to geography . That's Jmo of course but I believe that's the way it will happen.

I don't think it's a rivalry game at all. Doubt they do either.

I agree with you to a degree with that. But LSU has more rivalries with people than Arkansas.

As per what I've read on tRant. LSU is rivals with Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Alabama.

They have a long history with several other programs that are considered as rivals among their fanbase. Like their game with Auburn, and Florida.

Mizzou has it out for Arkansas more than Arkansas does for them. Arkansas hates LSU more than they do Mizzou. No one in the SEC hates Mizzou. Mizzou is in a unique position because they don't truly fit in perfectly in any one particular conference? They're near the Big 10, but in the SEC, but has a Big 12 feel.

If the SEC decides to only lock each program into one permanent game.

t.u will get OU
A&M will get Arkansas
Alabama gets Auburn
UGA gets Florida

I don't think that scenario happens though because LSU would be screwed because Ole Miss and State would be locked in.

I could see each school having two permanent rival games.
We hate LSU more than they hate us.

Funny. I work with and live and do tons of business in Arkansas. My neighbor ranch owners are both Ark grads. ALL of them pull for A&M except when we play them. ALL like the FTAB.
ALL of them truly, passionately hate t.u.

Seems like 90% of the people here think A&M wins a hard fought game. Which has literally happened every single year but once

LSU likes to claim they have no rivals. Alabama LSU will not happen as permanent opponent imo … no way. Too difficult for Bama playing Aub, Tennessee , and LSU annually. Yeah I know Auburn is down but they won't stay down forever .


I think LSU will draw us , Arky , and either Ole
Miss or Miss St. I tend to believe Miss St will also be our 3rd permanent. OU will get tu, Missouri , and I dunno who. Tu will get OU , us and Arky. Jmo.

Those long time SeC rivalries like Ole Miss - Vandy, Tennessee -Florida , Florida - Georgia . Vandy - Tennessee, Georgia - Auburn, Miss - MSU. Those will not be messed with.

I feel like Scar, & Mizzou will be used as schedule
Gap fillers . I say that because their biggest natural rivals aren't in the SEC. Maybe OU as well just because other than tu they don't have that much history with anyone. .

I know. You have now told me this while passionately defending them about 5 times now.

In my experience, and I was in the military with them. So i worked every day and even lived with them while deployed. They never missed an opportunity to put Texas down, Texans, A&M, t.u. and everything in between.

My experience mirrors what you read from their fanbase over on tRant.

Kudos to you for finding a honey hole of non trashy, Arkansas people that have an once of class

The ones I've known and even run into all seem to be made from a factory because they're all the same. Faded t-shirt, dirty jeans, even dirtier boots, farmers tan, bad skin, and an addiction to cigarettes

Hard fought games can go either way you know.

Yes, and I don't think anyone here would be shocked if we lost. But almost everyone is predicting a close game that ends in a win and I don't it's crazy to feel that way given a 11 year sample

I don't even know what the hell trant is or whatever you're calling it. So if you know as much about Arkansas folks as you think you know what I read …… well I don't know.
So your time in the military with a few of them (that you try desperately to stereotype) is the end all authority.
Yea ok, you are without a question the definitive voice of knowledge about everything Arkansas.
If you want to stereotype an entire state of people due to your time spent in the military with a few…. absolutely.
Hell Johnny Cash, General Douglas Mac Arthur and Army Ranger William Darby who earned the Distinguished Service Cross in North Africa in WWII are some of that trashy scum from Arkansas you know so much about.

I have to admit I had some neighbors from
Arkansas (grads) that were pretty odd ducks but I also know some that are among the best people I've ever known ( some Arky grads, some not). . It's a crap shoot.

Lastly, I had no clue J. Cash was from Arkansas but I love the fact he's from there. 1st page

Arkansas fans seem to hate everyone else in the SEC pretty equally. It's why they play about 5 Super Bowls every year according to other fanbases lol
