re: Why all the hate for Aggies and not Missouri?

Even though Arkansas and Missouri are awkwardly trying to start up a rivalry I don't think most folks here dislike Missouri.

Missouri is our Northern neighbor and we go up there to visit Branson, they come down here to visit Hot Springs. We hate Texas. They hate Texas. We don't care for Oklahoma, they are sure that the refs will frick them in a game against Oklahoma.

We also have this weird thing going where only one of us can be good at a given sport at that time. If Missouri is good at football we stink. If we are good in basketball Missouri is in a rebuild.

Hard to build a rivalry on that.

As for the Aggies... I don't think folks hate them. They just find them creepy and tiresome. They are the Texas version of the modern day Vols. You can only hear "this year is our year" so many times before it starts to wear on your nerves.
