I think it’s about rediscovering this rivalry. So many historic games played by these two programs. So many NFL players produced by these two schools. Looking forward to rekindling this rivalry.
I’m old enough to remember those SW conference years as a longtime Texas fan. It was a huge rivalry back in the day but we lost that magic when our teams became separated. It’s awesome that we get to reignite that rivalry for a new generation of fans. Arkansas hasn’t gone anywhere. We still have lots of Texas kids going to play for Arkansas just like with OU so it’s still a rivalry. We still compete with TAMU, Oklahoma and Arkansas amongst other programs for talent.
Honestly, I think it’s those recruiting battles where the 4 or 5 star that we wanted got away then goes on to help that out of state team beat us when we face them that helps make it a rivalry. That’s what makes the rivalry with OU so intense. Half their kids or more usually come from Texas especially the talent rich Dallas Metro area. All the Texas schools want to keep their home grown talent in the state but for years a lot of it has left the state.
Our new Texas Tech. No, you're not a rival. Never mind a major rival. From appearances, you've claimed everyone in the SEC as a rival already. Stick with them. If almost every team in the SEC wasn't playing cupcakes. We wouldn't make network stations playing you. They are playing cupcakes, and they still slotted us at 11 am.
@iandalby5410 it used to be. Unfortunately us leaving in 92 to the SEC and overall below average Football play and not playing Texas like we did when I was young made this former rival a former one. Its up the Arkansas to make it one again by winning games
