re: Permanent rivals. The best version so far.

We want Vandy!!!

Auburn: Alabama, Georgia, Florida

Arkansas: Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas

I could live with that. I'd prefer it to be Texas, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma. But I could live with 2 out of the 3.

The only Texas fans who care about Arkansas are well into their 70s. The pig lovers care about it to an unbelievable degree, so good for them I guess.

Not true. I remember this rivalry from my childhood. I enjoy it. I am far from my 70s

It’s not so important that it just has to be played every year but I wouldn’t downplay how good it was in the past.


Texas A&M and Oklahoma are the two that must be played every year.

Auburn- Alabama, Georgia, LSU

Would prefer Floridaover LSU.

The Auburn/Florida rivalry dates back to 1940s.

No perm rivalry games is whats fair and best.

It will change shortly anyway. Another round of expansion is about to happen. Main reason why GT, Clemson and FSU are the best three for the SEC to pick up. Matchups and eyeballs on the tv are the new driver, not as much new cities and areas. Bringing in those three clears a lot of scheduling problems.

Plus, understand LSU's history with the rest of the Southern teams.

Meh we don’t care about them. Our only rival is an empty bottle of bourbon.

Which classic games are you remembering? Was the campus all abuzz when the Razorbacks came into town?

I was weaned on college football as a kid before the rivalry fell off. By the time I got to campus nobody at Texas gave a sh!t. Whereas the Arkansas fans would always be off their rocker when Texas would visit. It's the game they circled every year. That was the case then. It's the case now.

If Texas lost a game and the score was announced at an Arkansas football game, everyone would go crazy. If Arkansas loses a game under the same circumstances, nobody at DKR would pay any attention, even with our WWE announcer trying to make a big deal about it.

There is a narrative this game is a rivalry, and that narrative might make it into one, but on the Texas side we're forcing something for commercial purposes that doesn't actually exist.

I understand it exists for you, but how many people share your same thoughts? Especially when you were on campus.

I remember the games in the 80s and yes the campus was buzzing when they showed up. It suffered some for the same reason the Aggie games has suffered. It was rare for both Texas and Arkansas to be really good when they played, but that didn't lessen the hate we had for each other. It was especially bad there. Those road trips were rough. My dad took me to a few up there. I remember being pelted with ice all game.
That doesn't mean the game mattered much to you and other Horns during that time (I don't know when you attended) but it was important to me.

It's not a rivalry that just HAS to be played, but I'd enjoy it.
