For all the "ownage" Arkansas had for us in the SWC, they sure didn't get much mileage out of it. SWC titles tells a totally different story:
SWC Titles
==========
Arkansas: 14 titles (7 of them outright)
A&M: 17 titles (15 of them outright)
A&M from post WWII to the late 60s were historic Kansas State/South Carolina bad with just a couple of years of exceptions. It just seems that Arkansas would have been able to win more SWC titles than A&M (and especially more outright titles). Texas owned that conference with 25 titles (19 outright).
Makes a lot more sense when you realize that just like against Texass, if the game with Arkansas was of any significance to a SWC championship, Arkansas was required to beat aTm or Texas, and the guys with the flags and whistles. Saw it many times, in all major sports.

Exactly. Remember that Arkansas alum calling those two mystery pass interference calls in the endzone in the late 80s to ensure an Arky win?
The refs in that league were just plain bad to everyone if you watched long enough.
