Are we still keeping this moniker for the A&M/Arkansas Football matchup now that the Jerry World contract is 6 feet deep?

Unfortunately this game needs to be changed to the Arkansas choke job classic. I stopped counting how many times Arky pissed away this game since A&M joined the conference.

Yes. We are playing in Fayetteville this year. Probably won’t even play next year (depends on the new schedule rotation).

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I'd love to move the Texas Texas A&M game to jerry world and split the fans 50/50 like we do in the cotton bowl vs Oklahoma.
I know know. We don't don't want to give up yet another home game every other year. Just a pipe dream of mine.

You guessed correctly.

Jerry world sucks as a college atmosphere, and there's a reason OU/Texas, Florida/Georgia and Army/Navy are very rare exceptions: college rivalries should be played on college campuses.

Yes and the games in Arlington felt like road games.

No way. It doesn’t have the same feel like games on a college campus do.

I’d prefer it was played every year… On campus.

Like I said, unpopular opinion. I just love the neutral games with mixed fans. It's not ever going to happen so doesn't matter

As has been said, once T&M joined the league, it has been all Aggies though the Hogs did piss away about half of their losses - had we been playing on campus, hogs would have won at least some of those.

Biggest thing the move has done for A&M has been to almost even up the all-time series with Arkansas. No other school has born the brunt of the Aggies more than the Hogs.

The moniker “Southwest Classic” needs to be retired. It made sense when we were in separate leagues but means little now,

Playing in Arlington was a bigger advantage for the Aggies.

I wouldn't have agreed to play at a "neutral" site for so long. Temporarily for a couple of years yes but it was a dumbass move that hurt Arkansas.

Hey y’all, this guy wants y'all to know that this rivalry is not popular and that he isn’t jealous.

just reading this pissed me off. If it actually happened I think I’d be livid.
