Who does Mizzou draw in the first round of the NIT you think?

Thanks Harry. Congrats on the win last night, keep it up and maybe Arkansas can face Mizzou in a regional NIT game!

I see this getting bumped unfortunately for several possible scenarios

Oh Harry, you're better than this. Multiple Mizzou troll threads? This is weak, like Arkansas basketball & football.

Of course they are. Harry is just mad that we're going to beed seeded higher than them.

You window lickers still holding out for March Muss?

It hurts the pig that we're better than them in both football and basketball. They don't like it and want to desperately change.

It probably will not happen, but if they remove Arkansas from our annual schedule when the pod system rolls out, they'll never equalize the all-time record in football. That makes me smile.

Side tangent/Arkansas rant incoming:

I really hope we keep playing them every year. It's good for both schools and we have a lot in common with the Hogs. That's my theory for why some of them (a minority, granted, but a vocal one) seem to have so much disdain toward Mizzou. In their heads, inexplicably, they are Mizzou's superior, but if you look at the cold hard facts, the schools are pretty damn similar across the board. I would even argue that if you look at the sum of their parts, Mizzou and Arkansas have more in common than Arkansas and any other single school in the SEC.

On a broader note, I think Arkansas is the single biggest winner in the SEC expansion game. At the time they were added in 1992, they were viewed and treated in some ways like Mizzou: outsiders, not a true southeastern school, cultural misfits, etc. Arkansas football has always struggled to recruit with the SEC heavyweights (just like Mizzou, it's not a jab, it's a fact). The is in large part because they lack in-state talent and the 5* kids from Georgia and Florida are as disinterested in Columbia, MO as they are in Fayetteville when they can stay home and play for the Dawgs or the Gators.

Fast forward to 2025 and suddenly Arkansas is not some geographic and cultural outlier. Where once they were the western frontier of the conference without any true SEC rivals, now they have a budding rival to the north in Mizzou, a natural rival to develop to the west in Oklahoma, and the two biggest schools in Texas to the southwest, with both of whom they have a lot of history. Like Mizzou, Arkansas peaked when it had access to Texas' recruiting grounds. The only way to truly maintain those recruiting pipelines is to have annual games agains the state's biggest teams.

So if I were an Arkansas fan, I would be rooting hard to have a pod/permanent rivalries that feature some combination of Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Mizzou. As much as they want to pretend, those schools are Arkansas' natural rivals, not the old guard of the SEC which has no room at the inn for new rivalries.

No problem, I am happy to shine a light on your highest achievement to date.
