This is the hang-up for most Tiger fans. It's also a shame that the players don't get to experience playing every other school at least once in their careers. I would be in favor of the 9-game conference schedule to help correct this some.


Most SEC fans would agree with you ... but it's never going to happen as long as Alabama controls the football offices in B-Ham. Not ever. Now, if something drastic were to happen and Bama was forced to acquiesce to some of the more simple demands of the rest of the conference, like a nine game schedule and/or giving-up the gimme win vs Tennessee every year ... or either let Auburn move to the East ... I dunno.

Bama is a double edged sword. It's great having the king in the family but .... I dunno.

TAMU vs. South Carolina - what?


We didn't want to play MU anymore and it made Ark happy so we switched. We also took LSU away from Ark during rivalry week. A little give and take is good for conference partners. Some schools are learning that the hard way.

This is why I want pods @ 16. You can set the schedule where you play everyone twice every 4 years plus whoever is in your pod yearly.

Better get used to it....they think its cool and original since it started there by mistake.

The A&M - South Carolina game already feels more heated than South Carolina & Arkansas ever did.

Hell no, I don't. That's why they're a rival.

#3. Florida - LSU would move into the 1 and 2 category here if LSU embraced this a little bit more



you serious?


No one is scared of florida, and I would imagine LSU's recent success against Florida has played a nice role in our recruiting success in the state.

as a fan who goes to road games, I would much rather go to Athens, Knoxville, Nashville, etc. over Gainesville. No offense as I understand Baton Rouge for what it is, but at least we have a renowned tailgating scene and honestly more options in the city

Enjoy the game? Yes. Enjoy their fans? Hell no. They're a step below bama fans to me. The whole grown man barking thing really makes me laugh

Looking forward to seeing Steve Spurrier's team at Kyle Field. Gonna be a great football day!

Had trouble getting psyched up for Missouri, but we know South Carolina fans take football seriously and that makes it a lot more fun.

Believe Mizzou is a much better rival for Arkansas due to proximity.

I can't imagine not having Alabama on schedule every year. That's like OU playing Texas every 5 years. or Ohio State playing Michigan every once in a while.


no it's not

You had a nice little run. I'll give you that. Still playing MU is boring. You're not a draw and are just a reminder of the shitty Big 12 north.

It's 21-21. Soon to be 22-21 State, and a 7 year stretch of W's.

I'll admit, I was pumped for that game after their fans sang at the state house. You guys should return the favor somehow.
