...doesn't this hose Arkansas? The only 'rivalry' (and I use the term loosely) that they have in the conference is with LSU, and LSU and A&M is SUCH a stronger historical rivalry that this addition would kind of chunk that out the window.

I know, its Arkansas, so who cares, but people in Fayetteville should really be hoping for an OU or OSU addition as well. They need SOMETHING.

Arkansas and TAMU have played 65 times.
Arkansas and LSU have played 54 times.
LSU and TAMU have played 48 times.

Arkansas has more of a history with A&M than we do

Yes, those two, along with Texas, were the heart and soul of the old Southwest Conference.

Not since Arkansas left the SWC to join the SEC. LSU and ATM played each other every year until they both finally got tired of beating each other up. Plus, they are both A & M schools.

you forget the even stronger tradition of Texas vs TAMU.

if they are in different conferences that pretty much blows that ship out of the water. I mean the two include each other in their fights songs....

We don't have a real rivalry with LSU either. How would this change anything?

We hate A&M just fine.

We care nothing about Sooners or Cowboys.

They will still play each other every year, a la Florida v. Florida State.

Seriously, three minutes of research on cfbdatawarehouse.com will teach you so much. Jesus, do some homework.
