Why would Arkansas not move to the Big 12 if offered?

The SEC thing has never really clicked for them, except for basketball and track. The manufactured rivalry with LSU has been a joke. They have not been competitive and have just sorta been lost in the shuffle for 20 years.

They could go to the Big 12 and compete for championships immediately. It's a perfect geographic fit, and they would reunite with many of their old traditional SWC rivals.

Is it just because of the SEC's money that they stick it out? Or do they hate Texas that much?

Because now they have MIZZOU and the annual MIZZOU/Arky battle for the Silver Meth Pipe is going to become one of the all time classic Thanksgiving holiday games.

Oh, it clicks just fine while playing old standing rivals in LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. We are only missing one school.. Tejas.

You should thank us, especially Frank Broyles and his love of golfing at Augusta, the SEC has a championship game as we started the conference shifting.

Not melting, just curious. Been curious about this for the last few years. I will take my beating like a man. The fact remains that you're now 1 out of your last 18.

I think the XII has been saving their spots for LSU and Florida State.

Because they don't like the way cow dick tastes anymore.

it is the same with for the aggies. now if we could just get them to not like the taste of human dick they could be a respectable member of the conference.

If the Big12 took LSU, Arkansas, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Missouri you'd have one hell of a conference. However, none of that is gonna happen.

Just taking a glance at that, it seems there is several things that are either out of date or just factually incorrect.

Take it up with Forbes Magazine as the new rankings aren't out yet.

Just because you beat a down LSU, doesn't mean you need to get rid of you linebackers. Damn you methheads are tough fanbase.

It's cool this time, though, because he's been thinking about it for multiple years. I guess it took that long to learn to read & write, which is why there was such a delay with him submitting the question.
