Is the Battle Line Rivalry becoming a much anticipated game?

I was remembering the words of our late athletic director speaking about this rivalry when it started, noting things such as it was “much anticipated” and a “budding rivalry.” LINK

So is this rivalry living up to its hype and may we reasonably expect a packed stadium for this one? Seems to me it is just another SEC game which we will likely lose.

It is the 2nd most highly anticipated game for us this season. For all of the wrong reasons of course.

As anticipated as a yearly colonoscopy for some.




Take that how you want...

whoever wins gets to call the other side white trash whilr knowing they are too but st least they're winning trash. based on that it's similar to the iron bowl.

Doesn't mean anything special to me except another chance for a win. And even that is not going to mean a whole lot this year.

It’s matters to Shelter Insurance with those annoying ads on IMG.

Maybe it will mean more when Mizzou and the Hogs join the Big 12.

Shelter Insurance made us drop the ARMOgeddon name from our Arkansas Alumni tailgate.

Anything related to Missouri is just still weird. Maybe it will become something for the kids who are currently enrolled. Not sure.

I don't foresee me or anybody else over the age of 25 ever feeling anything remotely towards Mizzou as I do towards LSU or Ole Miss.

If they put Mizzou in the west, the importance would go up considerably.

It's more of a basketball rivalry than football.

That’s the way I feel. Really not much history or hate in the way of football but basketball is a different story with some of the games we’ve had over the years (not just recently), Norm & Nolan, Suitcase Mike, etc.

I mean, look at those dudes... that's Mizzou/Missouri's finest right there. They still have their pre-meth fat, you can tell they haven't been addicted long. (maybe they're out of state students?)

No wonder the girls aren't paying them any attention, what a bunch of nerds.

Bielema called it the borderline rivalry in his presser

I’d say it’s not a rivalry when we’ve played less than ten times no matter what Shelter Insurance wants.
