We don’t want to be.

I think it’s funny the gymnastics SOME of y’all pull to excuse the losing. 2 more wins than Vandy since we joined.

Your own media is even eaten up with the made up rivalry. Did any Arkansas media members ask Missouri players about the game at the end of each year? Negative. Meanwhile, a CoMo reporter asked all 3 players at SEC media days if they thought Missouri was a big game.

That’s the definition of insecure. Carry on though…

And your head coach made it a point that Mizzou is their rival.

What else do you expect them to say?

It is better to be polite and not be rude. Say they are and move on to the next question.

Privately he would say Texas as he grew up an OU fan.

Well he also said MSU was our Super Bowl a couple of years ago. Sam is a very complimentary dude.

Wait. So Hogs media is the reason Hog fans think their football team is somehow superior to Mizzou?

Interesting.

You still play Kansas? Didn’t you avoid them in a bowl game and get beat by 40 to Kansas in basketball?

One day Mizzou will be decent at sports. I don’t know when it will come. Not this year but maybe one day

No one takes the Arkansas media seriously.

This really isn’t that hard to understand. Look at any historical ranking of the best college football programs of all time. Arkansas ranks above Missouri in every one of them. Every. Single. One.

Arkansas is a better overall football program than Missouri. That is true. It is also true that Missouri has a winning record in the head to head matchups. Those two facts are not mutually exclusive. They can both be true.

Throw in the fact that we have only played 14 times in the 100+ years of the sport and it makes even more sense. It is really just a bit of a statistical anomaly. I figured you Missouri folks would be smart enough to understand that, but evidently not.

I didn’t see the forum or context in which Nabors said this. Was he specifically talking about the respective all time HISTORICAL programs against ALL teams? If so, arguably he may have a point.

If he was referring to the 14 times the teams met, then no, they cannot both be true. By winning 10 of the 14 meetings demonstrably Missouri was the better team in the vast majority of those games. Is there a new way we’re going to determine winners? Perhaps just on paper?

Brother. You've only got 2 more wins then Vandy since we joined this dang conference.

All time, the record is like 10-4.

Give us Kentucky as our "rival" -- at least those games are competitive.

We beat you two years ago. Worst beating either team has received since you joined the SEC. Finally got a TD with a minute to go.

Maybe one day Mizzou will be good at basketball or football. I doubt it but maybe

I know you’re a DUMB arse but you lost 38-0 in 2018. 34-17 is not worse than that muffin lips.

False.

We literally finished above you in basketball this year with a roster of nonP5 transfers and JUCO players lol.

And football…… don’t be stupid.

You’ve won two more games than Vandy since we’ve joined.

Edit: this will be the part where he mentions Princeton in his copy and paste response that makes him look even dumber.

From your description, it sounds like he was comparing the gap between bama/Ole Miss to the gap between Ark/Mizzou. That's not comparing bama to Ark. Stop being dumb.

EDIT: Still not saying I agree with whoever you're talking about. I don't care about Ark/Mizzou enough to have an opinion on that.

Then why did you click on a thread exclusively about those teams? Might want to be careful calling other people dumb if you can't read titles.

I care so little I posted and then edited my post about not caring!

You continue to get juco and non power 5 players in basketball. You will continue to not make it out of the first weekend. Again, we all know making the tournament is a big deal for you. You named a court after a coach with 1 elite 8

Pittman has had two winning seasons in three years with a tougher schedule. Drink has yet to have one

Again, eventually Missery will be good at sports. Not sure when but eventually you will be good at something

Also, for you. Princeton. Sorry you lost to an Ivy League school
