Why would Arkansas not move to the Big 12 if offered?

The SEC thing has never really clicked for them, except for basketball and track. The manufactured rivalry with LSU has been a joke. They have not been competitive and have just sorta been lost in the shuffle for 20 years.

They could go to the Big 12 and compete for championships immediately. It's a perfect geographic fit, and they would reunite with many of their old traditional SWC rivals.

Is it just because of the SEC's money that they stick it out? Or do they hate Texas that much?

Because now they have MIZZOU and the annual MIZZOU/Arky battle for the Silver Meth Pipe is going to become one of the all time classic Thanksgiving holiday games.

Oh, it clicks just fine while playing old standing rivals in LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. We are only missing one school.. Tejas.

You should thank us, especially Frank Broyles and his love of golfing at Augusta, the SEC has a championship game as we started the conference shifting.

I think the XII has been saving their spots for LSU and Florida State.

Because they don't like the way cow dick tastes anymore.

it is the same with for the aggies. now if we could just get them to not like the taste of human dick they could be a respectable member of the conference.

So are you some sort of B12 secret agent tying to sow seeds to make the Hogs think about rejoining that collection of arse clowns?

I love when Big 12 fans convince themselves that if they keep offering up a spot eventually Arky (and maybe LSU) will see the light.

The Big XII offered. We declined.

FWIW, we have a better winning percentage against every SEC-W team, then we do against Texas.

Why would they? Is winning in the 2nd or 3rd best conference better than losing in the best?

Also wtf do you mean if offered? LSU, ARKY, ND, FSU and CLemson have invitations all we would have to do is pick up the phone and call Austin.

Funny that an LSU fan would talk about Arkansas to the Big 12 since it is LSU fans who seem to hate everything about the SEC. Arkansas seems happy in the SEC.
