It should be more of a rivalry. Since Mizzou joined the conference, they've won 7 of the last 9. Part of the reason seems to be that Mizzou prioritize winning the game more than Arkansas. The Hogs need to turn up their intensity for the contest.

Yeah, both teams should try to win the game like every other series. One team just executes that plan poorly in this "rivalry."

FWIW, they also execute the "win the division" plan poorly since we've arrived too. Perhaps they just have a Mizzou curse.

Do you know how fricking stupid this sounds? As competitive as the SEC is where EVERY game counts If there is an SEC coach who doesn’t prioritize EVERY frickING SEC matchup, he should be summarily fired!
