Arkansas vs LSU


It was always a forced rivalry for both of us, although at this point it's certainly more of a rivalry than OU.

It was a lot more than that.

Petrino took a knee the year before to show respect.

After the death of Garrett Uekman, Petrino and the team was very emotional in that game.


Les Miles did not and it showed a lack of sportsmanship to an opponent that was suffering the loss of a beloved player.

Why not Tulane? Might as well help your little brother.

Fortunately the new OC uses counter, HBack/G inserts, and split zone as well as OZ.

Pribula had a noodle arm and Venebles knew Pribula didnt have the hole shot and deep seam in his bag. The throws were there. Simmons can drive it.

Oh noez....

I always enjoyed the Arkansas games as so many were competitive. It probably won't be under this coach, but hopefully the Hogs' program will be back on solid ground and relevant.
I'm no Arky fan, but would find it enjoyable to see them beating up on the likes of OU, Texas, and Aggsy.

OU really hasn’t embraced non former Big 12 SEC teams yet to start an annual game that weekend and won’t schedule Oklahoma State,


You have it exactly backwards, which is no surprise.....

More so, I don’t think OU would schedule OSU when we have 9 conference games, and one mandatory non conference P4 required unless OSU counts as the required non conference.

Some schools play the 11th P4 to keep their rivalry games. Georgia plays Georgia Tech, Florida plays FSU or Miami, South Carolina plays Clemson, plus their 9 conference games, plus a non conference P4. I would assume OU has no interest in an 11th P4 game.

As long as the conference doesn’t mess with OU Texas game I’m fine with the rest of schedule.
OU and Mizzou have played 98 times so it makes sense to be paired with them.
OU leads 68-25-5.
Ole Miss was more surprising. The league is supposed to evaluate permanent opponents every four years. So I’m not certain we play Mizzou at the end of season for 10 years as you said.
The question is whether the league evaluation changes up the rivalry weekend matchup s.

Everyone drew their top 3 rivals, LSU probably would have preferred Bama, Ole Miss, A&M. But they did play Arkansas that weekend for a while.

I assume they might one to switch maybe one team of the three then. You have history with Mizzou and horn, not so much Ole Miss. Bama vs OU is becoming pretty good, close game that go both ways.

Who would you replace Ole Miss with or consider starting a rivalry with?

I think you're a little hung up on that weekend. Rivalries already exist, and playing someone that weekend doesn't create a rivalry.

besides OU vs Mizzou, what SEC school is not playing a rival? I’m not understanding your comment. OU doesn’t have as many rivals in the SEC, so they will be paired with someone if they don’t do bedlam. You guys have Arkansas and A&M, they don’t.

Seven out of ten? More likely nine out of ten.

the fact that Arkansas has given up each Thanksgiving after bad seasons and Mizzou "has a winning record" means that's not a "rivalry"

To be fair I’m actually pissed Mizzou is one of our 3 permanent opponents. It should be Texas, LSU and Arkansas. No offense to Mizzou I understand we have big 12 history and we came to the SEC together but those 3 are currently the longest running rivalries we have. We have played Arkansas every year since 2009 and the fact that this year is the last year we are playing them consistently makes no sense to me.

You are spot on Catfish. LSU/Ole Miss the third week of the season is a sacrilege. Halloween weekend was set in stone for years. We used to play A&M early when Jackie Sherrill was the coach. Money has ruined the game. Those poor UCLA fans paid big bucks to go to a game in the, “vaunted” Tiger stadium in September. Kicked off at 11:00 a.m. it was in the mid nineties with extremely high humidity. The powers that be don’t think about the fans. LSU games used to start at 8:00 p.m. so that it would cool off. Media tries to create rivals. First it was Arkansas and then A&M. Noting against those schools, but LSU’s rival have always been Ole Miss Halloween weekend and the last game of the season was TULANE. People would throw green hot dogs on the field. It’s embarrassing but that’s what happened

This is the point. They are too fricking stupid to know that we play LSU either way.

They just don't belong in this conference
