he OU-Missouri rivalry will probably take the place of the Arkansas-Missouri rivalry
I think Arkansas is slowly going to become our primary rivalry over the years if we don't find a way to start playing Kansas against permanently as an annual non-conference game. I mean, Mizzou and Kansas will always hate each other in a special way that no other school can replace, but if we don't play them, it's hard to give a shite from a football perspective. OU-Mizzou will become a minor rivalry, but we will always be a secondary game to them with the Red River Rivalry on the calendar.
And that's why I think Arkansas will slowly come around too - they clearly perceive Texas to be their primary rival, but Texas will always view Arkansas third to OU and Texas A&M. It's a rivalry of convenience, but Mizzou-Arkansas have too much in common not to become rivals. And once the Hogs get their shite sorted out and starting beating us in football more often, their fans will start to buy in more too. Right now I think they just hate the fact that they lose to us as often as they do, and don't want to be perceived as the lesser program.

Man, it would be nice if all Mizzou posters posted logically like this.

Rivalries aren’t forced, they develop because of a reason. There’s deep rooted hatred between kansas and mizzou that spilled over into games against one another.
We didn’t have a bunch of texans come in and kill people back in the day but we were the only non texas team in the swc and were treated like it. Instead of just excepting that role we chose to fight and try to win it all and texas was the big dog. That’s my take anyway, I don’t want to write a novel.
When we came into the sec we were given usc and 10rc as permanent east games and lsu on thanksgiving, all of that was cool. Then with this last expansion that shite on us and took all that away and tried to force a “rivalry “ down our throat that didn’t exist and we are supposed to sit there and and like it . Plus going through the worse stretch in football in our history doesn’t help either.
I don’t have anything against mizzou at all it’s personal with me, I don’t liked to be screwed over, again, and expected to like it.

Arkansas and Mizzou share nothing in common but a border. It would’ve already been a rivalry decades ago if it was going to be one. There’s no interest on our side in this.
