Pretty good (if a bit exaggerated) representation of how Arky fans react to Mizzou. They act like they don't care and dismiss the budding rivalry, but if you look at their posting history, it's 70% Mizzou-related.
Oh yea. He 100% hates Mizzou -- any time there is a Mizzou thread or especially Arkansas / Mizzou post, he is all up in that. I wouldn't be surprised if he has some sort of Python script to notify him when a post goes up.

Again on this board it’s fun to make fun of the worst athletic department in the SEC (nobody is close to 2nd).
I said on this board it may be one but outside the board it isn’t and it’s obvious across all levels.

That's what is strange to me about this whole Mizzou-Arkansas deal. I kind of like Arkansas, I have family down there who are alums and Fayetteville is great. I am rooting for it to turn into a lighthearted rivalry, which I do think it eventually will.
But you talk to the Arkansas folks, and they oddly sort of dismiss Mizzou or look down their nose at us. Best I can tell, they hate losing to us and feel like we've encroached on their territory. Maybe we would feel the same way if the SEC had collapsed and Arkansas joined the Big 12?
It is funny to me that Arkansas fans act like Mizzou has wrecked all these 'historic' rivalries they had, but they've only been in the conference since '92. Their historic rivals are in Texas, and they bailed on those programs (understandably) years ago.
