It may be a rivalry for yall but its a one sided rivalry



such a simple thing to understand, yet the pigz can't grasp it.

To simplify it for them:

LSU fans feel the same way whether UGA or Arkansas beats them. "Damn, that was costly." (Not a rivalry)

LSU fans feel the same way when Ole Miss or Alabama beats themL "Those #&$^%*%**$. F*^# them!" (Rivalry)

I can see your point. From the info in your post it sounds like you know a generation of people younger than me. I guess it depends on the age of the fan.

I've lived in Arkansas over 15 years and it is my adopted home. One of my children will attend Arkansas next year,so my home will be divided. Things are always changing, never thought we would have a razorback in our home.

Good luck at BD this year ya'll will need it. ROLL TIDE!!!!

LSU fans not caring if they lose to us or not doesn't make it any less fun for me when we beat them.

Winning or losing the game equals a BCS slot or SEC Championship shot usually goes into a rivalry.


We lost in 07 and still played for and won a NC.

Not to mention you lost out on a BCS trip last year and 2 road trips to SEC Championship game in 2002 and 2006.

You don't know how perception works do you?

ESPN, websites, tv stations etc. call Arkansas and LSU a rivalry. Arkansas spread it as a rivalry regardless of what LSU says. Therefore, the public perception is it's a rivalry no matter what you have to say.

Arkansas will continue to add onto the perception with wins and word of mouth. Say something long enough and loud enough and it becomes reality.

jesus fricking christ. can we ban this fricking bastard?

Thats what i said. He is trying to rape his way into a rivalry

Is there another school in the country that has experienced leaving their "home" conference and going it alone into another conference?


GT was a founding member of the SEC until Bobby Dodd and Bear Bryant had their issues and we left.

Nebraska has now given up the OU game almost completely (Arkansas vs Texas)

Nebraska has played Minnesota and Iowa as much as Arkansas has played (LSU and Ole Miss)

Nebraska is moving into a conference with teams who have more revenue than them (OSU, Michigan and Penn State)

Nebraska is changing the entire fan base from Big8/12 to the Big10.

All while doing this in the modern era of college football unlike G-Tech.

*LSU is a much bigger rivalry than TAMU and much closer for the majority of our fan base.

Wow some of you LSU fans just jumped off the deep end here. Just because he says its a bigger rivalry than A&M doesn't mean he thinks its the end all, be all of rivalries. You guys must assume A&M is our biggest rivalry ever before we joined the SEC?

Arkansas-A&M was nothing much more than a game on the schedule in the past so for him to say that about LSU isn't a stretch considering it was never a heated rivalry when we were in the SWC and we took an 18 year break from even playing A&M.

That's what lsu fans don't get. We never had a rivalry with aTm. It was with Texas. LSU can have em. We don't give a frick. AR shared one thing- a common hatred of Texas. That's it.

LSU you can have them and their yell leaders.
