Did your fanbase enjoy the cross-division games with SC over the years? Even though our states are about as far apart as they can be from an SEC standpoint, there just seemed to be something fun about the games since both schools entered the SEC together in the 90's.

Or do you prefer matchups with Missouri and Texas A&M because of their proximity from a geography standpoint?

I miss this game and LSU on black Friday.

We came into the league together and it only seems right to play one another each season. I enjoyed my trip out to Columbia way back in 2006.

Almost made the trip out to Fayetteville last year if not for a wedding that came up at the last minute. It's on my list for sure.

And yet the SEC still managed to give us an annual game with an opponent further away.

Arkansas is desperate for a rival. Not sure they have ever had one, but Mizzou seems to be in a good position to fill that role.

The SEC is definitely pushing that for some reason.

Agreed. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to be honest.

Carolina fan, but man I enjoyed this game. Even when it was a frustrating loss (2011). It was a fun, quirky series that was surprisingly competitive.

Last year was a nice resumption, but I'd much prefer to see the return trip to Columbia this fall.

Yeah, Texas used to be our rival but they haven't beaten us in awhile so it got boring.

UT is 56-23 against the pigs. If you think aggy's record against is us bad...

I agree that pig fans considered Texas a rival.

Now show the record for the last 20 meetings. Nobody's wearing zuit suits or poodle skirts these days. The series has been much closer since 1950, save the 1970's.
