In fact, as a hog fan, I enjoy the ole miss series or LSU. Most of the time the games are super competitive no matter how good one or the other is. Texas coming in is a plus because the hate hogs have for horns runs deep. The mizzou Arkansas battle line trophy is the dumbest thing ever

You aren’t one.

The general consensus was to get rid of our game and replace us with OU to form a rivalry when those projected pods came out from the Arkansas fanbase.

I don’t mind mizzou. I think we have a pretty good basketball rivalry. I don’t get how the football game is so one sided but kudos to y’all there. I do think the trophy is dumb

Why don’t you create a poll for the other 14 teams in the conference not named Oklahoma or Missouri?

Poll
Would you rather play Oklahoma or Missouri in football?



I can’t imagine one team that wouldn’t pick Oklahoma as their preferred opponent. Not one.

The trophies are stupid and the battle line rivalry commercials are cringe.

No doubt that message board fodder speaks for all razorback fans.

Texas is the reason why Arkansas was better in the 60s through the 80s.

Nothing dumb about that.

Let me know the next time we fire a head coach and he comes to Mizzou to be a coordinator for a first time ever head coach after 3 winless conference seasons in a row.

there is nothing unique about mizzou. you have the same mascot as half the fricking conference. you have the same football stadium as multiple high schools in texas. you have the same insecurity as aTm. the only thing you do that nobody else does is decorate with painted rocks.

we don't consider you a rival because we have never been void of self-esteem. your coach brings children's toys to press conferences. the sec is a keg party and you frickers are zima. you're a never has been. you're on the mount rushmore of failure. you guys give contract extensions for .500 seasons and bowl losses.
BOOM! Mic drop!

Arkansas is 56-79 since Mizzou joined the SEC.

Mizzou is 75-63 over the same timeframe.

It should be Mizzou who is insulted to consider Arkansas a rivalry.


Can't really compare that though. We weren't gifted the SEC East. Also Bert and Chad happened all because Petrino couldn't keep his dick in his pants.

No, we aren't too good.

But, let us be honest, no one in either fan base, unless we are bored and looking for something to troll about, gives one rat's arse about this rivalry. If we win... great. If we lose... well darn it.

There is no heat, no hatred. It is two states, who mostly get along really well, stuck in a rivalry that neither cares about.

Arkansas would much rather finish the year playing LSU in football. Mizzou would much rather finish the year playing Kansas in football.

Honestly, playing any other team in the league besides ark would generate more excitement for LSU.

Maybe just maybe because the East has been a joke most of those years. Getting better now, at least you have a couple decent teams.

Because it is?

You have to be at least 84 to have seen an Arkansas football victory over Mizzou in the state of MO. No generation has ever seen them beat MU at Faurot. Fix that and we’ll acknowledge your existence.
