I feel like every team in the Sec is a rival. Except Ole miss. They're irrelevant.

And this. A very strong football program that I really do not care anything about.
Should have moved over to the Big 12 Conference (or whatever they are now that Nebraska is gone to the Big Ten) when the Southwestern Conference went belly up.

LOL. We were gone years before the SWC folded.

Thanks for making my point. You saw the hand writing was on the wall for that "superior" football conference. Why didn't you go to the Big 12? All of your familiar/traditional rivals went that direction.
Nothing against Arky. Just no connection whatsoever.

Probably had to do with the fact that Texas politics played the part of who went to join the big 8 and who was left to form/join Con-USA/MWC.
Texas politics was not going to let the 4 that went split apart, so that would have left Arkansas with TCU as the Big8 wasn't going to not take Texas...

I did not know that. Thanks!
It is a shame because I have a lot of respect for your football program. Just cannot (at nearly the age of FIFY) ever see Arky as anything but a SWC team. However, I do recognize that younger fans will eventually see them as our rival (just like I see Tulane and Ole Miss that way).

Arky is going to have to win the west a few more times and be the "Team to Beat" for a while to develope a rivalry. With LSU. Arky has been playing the spoiler role far to often to be taken seriously.

Texas was suppose to come to the SEC with us, but the state legislature told them they could not.
In one of Broyles last decent decisions made he saw the writing on the wall and left Texas behind. It was confirmed to him after the Big12 that the SWC was destined to collapse and had Arkansas stayed we would have been on the outside looking in during the conference realignment.
We originally had the choice between joining the SEC or what became the SWC but included OU and Okie State at that time, apparently it was a tough decision based on how different, culturally, Arkansas was from Texas/Oklahoma, yet how Arkansas was able to "identify" with them better than the other southern states...

You say this as if Arkansas is desperate to have a rivalry with LSU, we couldn't care less.

This.
I don't think "older" fans of Arkansas or LSU are really looking for a rivalry between the schools. However, I do believe that the SEC is trying to foster one.
Bottom line, and we all have to agree, over time the distinction between the SWC and SEC will blur and younger fans of both teams will see this as our natural rivalry. But older fans like you and I will not. That is okay. We still both play a great brand of football that is exciting to watch.

Not Auburn?? Auburn fans that I know claim LSU to be their biggest rival. Another point that they will always be inferior to other schools.

LSU may not have a fierce in-state rivalry, but they seem to make up for it by becoming rivals with everyone else in the conference.

Nope, Tulane brought it on themselves. They thought they were too good for the SEC.
I think eventually, LSU/Arkansas will be a huge rivalry.
