Let's not forget outside of our own state where our biggest recruiting base is. And you better believe jimbo and Herman will dog fight with is over that.

Arkansas rivalry was forced.

This was team we played from 86 thru 95.

This WILL become a rivalry. The old schoolers will back me up on this.

aTm is a more natural rivalry on many levels and the Arkansas rivalry was fabricated when they joined the SEC in 1992. Now they are fabricating Arkansas/Missouri as a rivalry. Who the hell else is going to fill that roll for Missouri?

Even playing Arkansas every year since joining the SEC LSU has only played 7 more games with them than aTm.

The big in-state rivalries make sense...Ole Miss/State, Bama/Auburn,Georgia/Georgia Tech Florida/FSU, USCe/Clemson, Kentucky/Louisville and Tenn/Vandy.

Arky is a newer “rivalry” than aTm and someone has to play Mizzu. When Tulane de-emphasized Football that sets up two “border wars” (Texas/Louisiana; Arkansas/Missouri).

Makes sense to me.

It will only be a real rivalry if A&M can ever become a big time football program. They never have been their entire history. If they stay like they have been it will be just like the Arkansas rivalry.

Correct. Prior to Arkansas joining the SEC, LSU had played A&M 13 more times than Arkansas.
