Why would I need that on a cup? Sorry facts and opinions based on them hurt your little feelings.

That depends on the time frame we look at. During the first two decades Arkansas vs LSU was about as hard fought a rivalry as you will find. In the first 24 games played between the schools Arkansas was 12-11-1 vs LSU.
LSU took control of the series in the 30s and hasn't really looked back going 33-10 against us since 1930.
Our natural rival in the SEC is Ole Miss. Before joining the SEC we were 19-16-1 against them I believe. Our current record is 36-29-1 against Ole Miss. It would be even closer but Ole Miss has had three wins vacated against us (ouch).
Oddly enough, despite being our best rivalry in the SEC (I suppose A&M should get consideration but both schools hate Texas far more than they do each other) we have Ole Miss to thank for us winding up in the SEC. Ole Miss vouched for Arkansas being up to the SEC level as they were playing us every year right before we joined.
Then, just before we joined, Broyles ran off Hatfield (who has our best ever winning percentage as HC) and Arkansas football dropped off the face of the planet.

LSU, due to our proximity, played those schools more frequently than those of you to the east. LSU won the vast majority of those games .
Due to crazy scheduling decisions, agreements,etc. LSU played as many SWC teams in 1968 as SEC teams. TCU and Tulane counted as "appointed conference games."

Which makes it look even worse. Six fricking league games out of 12 teams.
What team did Ole Miss beat in their bowl game after that 1962 season?

In 1968 LSU went 4-0 against the SWC (aTm, Rice, Baylor and TCU), and only played four games against SEC teams that year.

SWC Aggy beat LSU so repeatedly and so thoroughly that LSU pulled the most chicken shite move in the history of college football.

were any of those "thorough" beatings as savage as 50-7?

LSU and tamu played 49 times before tamu joined the Big12.
Tamu had a whopping 40% win percentage. Thorough indeed!

No shite. Texas Tech did not join until 1960. The SWC always played a round robin league schedule.

why was the SWC so afraid of letting Houston in? They tried for years and when they were finally admitted they had to wait four more years to play. And then they won the league and Cotton Bowl.

I am not really sure. Possibly politics in Texas? They were also left behind at the alter when the Big 12 formed in the mid 90's. Athletic wise, you would think they would have been appealing then.
Think of Phi Slama Jama, Heisman winner in football, solid baseball program, and a pretty good sized enrollment. Not to mention maybe the best golf program in the nation(historically).

Before A&M joined the Big 12, LSU was terrified of playing at Kyle Field. LSU had exactly one win in College Station up to 1995, where as A&M had DESTROYED LSU ten separate times in Baton Rouge.

One of our games against Texas Tech was considered an SEC game years ago. I don't know the story on why that happened.

At least one of them was 1968,not sure about 1967. I have never read/heard why scheduling was so discombobulated but at the very least THROUGH 1968 each SEC team had to play 6 "league" games. If they weren't bonafide SEC Teams there were "appointed" games such as State's 1968 in Jackson vs Texas Tech.

We pretty much tripled your score over a 5 year period and you then you ran away with your tail tucked between your legs.
The juice is still running on what you owe us. than 100k is probably a couple million by now. By 2030 we'll probably own your entire state.

Don't lie. You know those numbers are not accurate.
