Arkansas
Basketball - 1994
Cross Country - 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003
Indoor Track & Field - 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2003,
Women's Cross Country - 2019
Women's Indoor Track & Field - 2015, 2019, 2021, 2023

Just remember, Arkansas doesn't view us as rival material. Ignore the fact that this is currently the longest thread on the Rant.

You need to travel south more. Once you get to Little Rock and areas such as the south and east part of the state then you will see a noticeable difference.

More subscribers to the SEC Network specifically due to their footprint.

Pretty sure Arkansas consistently beats Mizzou when it comes to actual ratings which is the new standard for contract negotiations as we head in to the new world of streaming.

Well they did back in 92 and the SEC respected Arkansas enough for them to join. Just a few years before Arkansas was in the Cotton Bowl as SWC Champs, baseball team was in the CWS and the basketball team made a final four.

Frank Broyles was friends with SEC commissioner Roy Kramer who got the ball rolling for Arkansas to join the SEC.

Mizzou, KC and STL alone make them more valuable and their fans are more tolerable while Arkansas fans on here seem out of the cast of Deliverance.

DuckTalesLOL is right at least with regard to St. Louis. In general, St. Louis folks are more interested in Big 10 and Notre Dame football than Mizzou.

This is absolutely incorrect. I have lived in STL and do live in Arkansas. STL has more Mizzou fans than I see hog fans in Little Rock.

Huge alumni base in STL. There is no way you are going to convince me that there are more Big 10 fans than SEC fans in STL.

That’s absolutely not true. I would chalk that up to seeing what you want to see versus reality.

Not at all. There’s just a zero % chance that there’s vastly more Mizzou fans by percentage in St Louis than Arkansas fans in Little Rock. That’s not some wild take on my end.

Percentage of population wise there are definitely more Ark fans in LR than Mizz fans in STL. Fandom in LR is certainly not what it once was though. Moving the games away from LR has had a big impact on the amount of people that GAF about the hogs. The younger generation especially don't seem to care much for Razorback sports.

While your statement is true now, it probably won't be in 10-20 years.

It also hurts that many people moving into NWA aren't hog fans or care for college sports.

Arkansas has a huge alumni base in the Dallas metro area and quite a bit of fans in Tulsa.
