I'm nice to Mizzou.

A&M didn't seem as strange, maybe partially because we had history and you had history with LSU. And we had already started playing you annually for a few years before that.

I'm just being honest about my feelings.

I remember thinking the Kansas/Mizzou rivalry was strange to learn about, because of all the rivalries I was aware of in college football, that definitely wasn't one of them.

It was just kind of a lolwut moment in my brain.

Dang, you're old.

I'm old, and I don't remember much about it or having any feelings about it.

I also don't remember a time in my life when Arkansas didn't play Ole Miss in football every season. And the story of naming of our team to Razorbacks had been wrapped around a victory vs LSU from the past.

I can see how it would be strange to SEC fans back then, but still not as strange as Missouri seemed at the time.

There is a rivalry trophy and we've played 3 conference games against them, and 7 times in history. It was weird.

ETA: Arkansas and LSU have met more times on the football field than Auburn and LSU have, fyi.

It's ok.

You obviously posted this looking for a new rival because LSU has become too much on so many difficult levels for you.

You can't compete with LSU, so you reach out to another program, one whom in your mind you should destroy, unfortunately recent history shows that's never going to happen.

So you're just kind of stuck in this rut of wanting a bitch boy for a rival, but it turns out you can't have one because where you think your program exists in your head, and where it actually exists in reality is about 180 degrees out of phase.

We'll gladly be your Huckleberry, just know your place.

Taneyhill climbed the band-leader ladder at Razorback stadium and did a "I can't hear you" to the student section one year. Dude had a glorious mullet and beautiful mental-health issues. He was something else.

Your lack of knowledge on recent SEC history is not helping your case. 5-5 against the Nutria's the last decade.

5-5


Really? That's cool, considering the absolute depths to which our program sunk during Johnelle's Smiling Clown Show Tour and Bert's first season.

Mizzou has its rival, and it's already the best rivalry in sports.

And 1-3 vs us Safe Spacers.

Your program is shite.

The best thing you ever had wrecked his bike and your program because of a horse toothed NWA 7.

Now, you've hitched your wagon to a heifer that hasn't produced and will be put to pasture soon enough.

Makes sense that you'd scour the SEC for a rival to call your bitch, but it turns out, after 25 years in the SEC, you are the bitch.

Sorry Arky, you will always smell like hog shite.

Remember when Arkansas, a school that's basically in Oklahoma, joined the SEC?

I remember. I was young, but I remember.

And I still don't understand how Arkansas is in the SEC. I've never gotten used to it.

All you have to do is look at what we did to the SEC East champs last year to realize what a fluke game Arkansas-Missouri was.

Deflect all you want, but your failure to launch against the only team this century worthy in your mind of being your "rival" speaks volumes about your program.

Its shite. Always has been, always will be.

10 years from now, y'all will still be the red headed weirdo in the SEC.

Just like you were when we joined.

Some shite will never change.

And yet we still, rightfully so, look down at your program. Always have, always will.

The weirdest part about it is hardly any Big 12 jokes get directed at Arkansas anymore.

Y'all should be grateful to no longer be the biggest outsiders.

Yes, dismantling a conference opponent to the tune of 56-3 and 545 rushing yards can plant many fond memories in one's head.
