re: Tell me about Arkansas fans

You get hatred in Western Arkansas because we've all spent time around numerous OU fans. Obnoxious bunch.

I have only ever met one person who attended the University of Oklahoma (while working in Dallas), although I've encountered many dozens of "OU fans" throughout my entire life.

Eastern Oklahoma is your answer.

That is probably a pretty good answer however I think Arkansas also resents Oklahoma because despite the fact that the two states are similar Arkansas doesn't come close to matching Oklahoma's success in football. This despite the fact that the Razorbacks match or exceed OU in many other sports programs and have better facilities in most other sports.

Conversely, Oklahoma fans outside of eastern Oklahoma don't really have Arkansas on their radar too much. But the eastern Oklahoma fans do because Arkansas cities are basically their hub and Tulsa has quite a Hog presence.

This will end up emerging as a really good rivalry in the SEC. Won't be long until even western Oklahomans hate Hogs and Delta Arkansans hate OU.
