Since they will be our permanent opponent? If not, then who?

Its really the only one that makes sense. Texas A&M plays TX and Ole Miss plays MSU. Leaves only Arky for that weekend.

We need to start a petition to move Ole Miss to Halloween weekend as well.

That needs to get legs.

With Alabama off the schedule every other year, I really don't see why we can't make this happen.

I guess it depends on how much their matchup with Missouri matters to them? I would think our rivalry would trump that - they only named that rivalry when Missouri joined the SEC apparently, and they had only played 5 times prior to Mizzou joining the league. I think Mizzou-OU could be a fun end of year game, or each of those teams could switch to playing Kansas and Oklahoma State as an OOC finale every year.

It wouldn’t happen because no one at the SEC thinks about it or LSU/Ole Miss don’t actively pursue it.

Need to get in all their ears.

Oklahoma-Mizzou will be Thanksgiving and we will get Arkansas back. I don’t like the Friday game but Arkansas is by far my favorite of our post Tulane “forced rivals.”

I’m so tired of being saddled with the faggots from College Station. And it’s a travesty to not play UF, but I am happy we get the piggies back.

I would be willing to do that if we never play in Little Rock again.

Ole Miss for Holloween
We need a Thanksgiving time frame game could be Arkansas
Aggie for final

Same here, give us Arkansas early like Bama use to always get. I still have hot cocoa nightmares.

I had same thought .

I believe LSu -Arkansas resumes

OU-Missouri moves to final game or they both pick some other non-SEC team to end the season

Makes the most sense.

As others have said:

UT will play A&M
Ole Miss will play MSU

and realistically, OU will play Mizzou.

Or Mizzou could play Kansas while OU plays OSU in the final game as their annual OOC games like UF/FSU, UGA/GT, USC/Clemson, etc.

Yes, and OU-Mizzou as well.

Bring back LSU vs Arkansas on Black Friday at 2:30

That was the best! Leftovers from the day before on the recliner watching the tigers and hogs! That’s nostalgia.

I’d like to have seen arky in September, ole miss last weekend of October and 8T4 end of November, but as a traditionalist (get off my lawn), Texas / 4T8 needs to be Thanksgiving weekend.

They can’t beat Tulsa, so they have bigger problems

Yeah the TG weekend is ultimately the reason we ended up with Arkansas as one of our permanents. It’s absolutely going to be that again which is kind of a nice throwback.
