You mostly just want to build a wall around it and let them talk shite to each other and do their own thing. Occasionally you open the gate and throw molding bread and cheese at them, but you never really let them in. This doesn't apply to Arkansas. You're on the east side of the wall.

And I miss the SWC. But, CFB's a business. So, here we are.

Arkansas has no ties to the big12 at all. I don’t understand that part of the post.

We’re here forever. The old SEC will never be a thing again. Embrace it!

They belong in one of those containment units they had in The Walking Dead. Throw Missouri in there too.

It sent two teams to dilute our league.

How is adding 2 top 5 brands a bad thing? It means more big games for the fans.

I'm happy that it pisses you off so much.

The vast majority of SEC fans fail to understand most Mizzou fans thrive on the hate and animosity that's thrown their way.

We love it!!!!

Big 12 was founded in 1994, Arkansas was playing in the SEC in 1992. Arkansas was never in the Big 8.

If the CFB Gods were just

SEC
B1G
PAC
ACC
SWC / Big 8 combo, but not the B12 abortion
IND's

8 to 12 teams per conference with long term protected rivals in and out of conference and a 4 team CFP so evey game matters. This is all just a money grab and will collapse upon itself when the fans walk away.

It’s interesting because back in that day—pre 1982–SEC scheduling was loose and non standard. The conference didn’t even tell the teams how many SEC teams to schedule.

Some of the teams have real histories in conference. Others…it goes back to 1982.

SWC / Big 8
I would love to see the SWC come back. It would be better than ACC football. The old SWC was all about business. $ business. They would fit right in todays game.
