I think Arkansas is slowly going to become our primary rivalry over the years if we don't find a way to start playing Kansas against permanently as an annual non-conference game. I mean, Mizzou and Kansas will always hate each other in a special way that no other school can replace, but if we don't play them, it's hard to give a shite from a football perspective. OU-Mizzou will become a minor rivalry, but we will always be a secondary game to them with the Red River Rivalry on the calendar.

And that's why I think Arkansas will slowly come around too - they clearly perceive Texas to be their primary rival, but Texas will always view Arkansas third to OU and Texas A&M. It's a rivalry of convenience, but Mizzou-Arkansas have too much in common not to become rivals. And once the Hogs get their shite sorted out and starting beating us in football more often, their fans will start to buy in more too. Right now I think they just hate the fact that they lose to us as often as they do, and don't want to be perceived as the lesser program.
