You have a history with them. Let them in or tell them to frick off?
Upvote for in and downvote for out. Also please comment.

Thanks

Let'm in. The conference only gets stronger. I'd like to play OU every year. They are a great program with rich history. TX is fine as long as the toe the line. I think it would be a bad move for TX as they will face tougher teams in the SEC.

I'll take them. They fit better with us geographically and we've never come together as a fanbase to hate anyone with the passion we hate Texas. They are coming to Fayetteville this year for a long overdue owed game and the only way to get those are to buy at least mini-packages for other games because for some fans, it's a bigger deal than the SEC home games. And for a change, TX can come or go and the conference won't bend to their whims so their power is reduced so I'd roll the dice and let them in.

It’ll be fun to play Texas (most likely) every year again

I’ve gone back and forth on this. People say it would kill our Texas recruiting even further but Texas and OU win 3/4 recruiting battles against us already anyway. And if the Big 12 blows up we could take the best players that Oklahoma State, TCU and Baylor type programs are getting now. If anything I think A&M might be hurt by it the most.

Bottom line for us though is we just need to get better regardless if they’re in the conference or not so I’m not sure it matters. It would be nice to have another historical rival in the conference who we can kind of share a history with. I feel bad for the lower half of the conference teams though because they’ll be getting zero airtime on the SEC network if this happens, just not enough time to equally cover all 16 teams.

if Texas ends up joining and they do the pods format, I very much hope we’re in the same one as Arkansas. Great game

Arkansas has no history with OU. None whatsoever.

Well they are a border state with Oklahoma, so they probably know them better than most other SEC fans. Also Oklahoma doesn't seem to be the sticking point, but thanks for the input.

Texas can frick off.

And since Oklahoma's permanently attached to Whorn dick, they're gone too.

I’m fine with adding them.

I think if it goes pods, you put A&M, Texas, Mizzou and Arky in a pod. Texas would hate that. Hate it.

Yes

OU I guess I’m warming to whatever on them- don’t hate but never cared for them in general.

I’m so back and forth on this. Idk what to believe.

My gut tells me to tell Texas to go EAD and GFY. They kill everything they touch.

On the other hand, it might help not playing Bama every year, and these regional opponents will help.

NO

Texas is a massive reason why we left the Big 12…I cannot believe we’re facing the possibility of those frickers being in our conference again. I really really really hope this doesn’t happen. frick Texas.

No but I have yet to meet an Arkansas fan that doesn't have a strong dislike for them.

I'd have no problem with OU, but frick Texas. I would personally rather add two ACC schools, but I have been a fan of the pod system for a long time and will be better able to play all the other schools on a shorter rotation.
