re: Well Arkansas the rivalry has been fun

I for one, liked the Arkansas Rivalry. Border states, a stupid trophy, and a series history that was BUILDING towards hate. 20 consecutive years (save 2001) did we play in the final week of the season.

It was a rivalry...just a young one. We both don't have a natural rival, so it could have worked if the SEC would have given it the due time like all the other SEC classic rivalries. We don't have 100 years of series history like AU/UGA, but I think it could have blossomed if you would have let it reach the 30, 40, 50 year mark of consecutive games.

I roundly reject A&M on that thanksgiving date for 2 reasons.

1. Aggie, we will NEVER be Texas. As much as you may want this, we're not the one for you. It's like dating a chick still hung up on her ex. You're not over it, and I'm stuck in it. Nobody will ever look at it like UT/aTm, so just give it up and make up with big brother.

2. Anybody who actually pays attention to the series history we have with A&M knows that the real "tradition" of that series is to play it on Labor Day Weekend.
