Did your fanbase enjoy the cross-division games with SC over the years? Even though our states are about as far apart as they can be from an SEC standpoint, there just seemed to be something fun about the games since both schools entered the SEC together in the 90's.

Or do you prefer matchups with Missouri and Texas A&M because of their proximity from a geography standpoint?

I miss this game and LSU on black Friday.

We came into the league together and it only seems right to play one another each season. I enjoyed my trip out to Columbia way back in 2006.

And yet the SEC still managed to give us an annual game with an opponent further away.

Arkansas is desperate for a rival. Not sure they have ever had one, but Mizzou seems to be in a good position to fill that role.

Carolina fan, but man I enjoyed this game. Even when it was a frustrating loss (2011). It was a fun, quirky series that was surprisingly competitive.

Last year was a nice resumption, but I'd much prefer to see the return trip to Columbia this fall.

My one trip to Columbia, SC was one of the best times I’ve had on a road trip. Think it was ‘02

Loved those USC games. Would love to have it back regularly as it seemed right since we were tied together through expansion.

Arkansas hates playing teams they struggle against AND feel they're inferior to.

Mizzou
Aggie

Together these two own Arkansas. Ever notice how much they "despise" playing both?

I felt we had a sort of brotherhood since we came to the conference together and we also had a common head coach in Lou Holtz. We both got screwed in that expansion since they took away a game we liked and made y’all have to travel further to play aggie.

aggie and mizzou should have been permanent games instead. And I don’t even want to get started on losing our thanksgiving game against LSU.

I miss having South Carolina on the schedule, just because that's how I recall the SEC schedule being before the last expansion. I never paid any attention to SEC football until around the time Arkansas joined, so that's what I grew up on.

Mizzou and A&M will always seems strange to me. A&M less so, but Mizzou just feels awkward and weird.

Maybe it won't for future generations.
