Our Rival Arkansas

I got to say that I think it will take a while before they do any rebuilding especially with the roster that Bert left Morris. Glad our dominance looks to continue for sometime. Also 17 the hogs.

Didn't we sweep them this year in football, both basketballs, and baseball? I'd hardly call that a rivalry.

They do have us beat on Walmarts though

Rival? Really? I never considered them a real rival in anything. They are something of a rival I guess because they are in the SEC West. That would be about it.

That’s easily the toughest job in the SEC...

There is virtually no football talent in Arkansas, and they have to rely on getting whatever they can from Texas and anybody else that will listen. I don’t have any expectations of Morris being successful there....

They hate Houston Nutt, but that guy will probably end up being their most successful coach in their SEC era. They have delusions of grandeur about themselves in a major way, so it’s hilarious to watch the constant melting going on with those nutjobs.

I've got no hate for Arkansas. They are like our bizarro LSU. They lay down for us and play like world beaters against Ole Miss.

Most were glad to see him go. That doesn't make a rivalry.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Well I find that post rather shallow and pedantic.

We never get up to play Arkansas. Considering them a rival (and then arguing it to the point to where you are calling names) just makes you kinda weird but mostly dumb

 

[WilCoDawg]

Laying down for us is a recent thing. They would always play us tough in the 90s.

We definitely had a tough time with Nutt's Arkansas teams. Don't think for one second that didn't help him land the Ole Miss job.

You are the one basing a rivalry (sic) on Gary Ervin.

 

[SirBarksalot]

They were definitely a rival in the late 90’s

Only played them once in basketball, but otherwise your point stands.

We never get up to play Arkansas because we just got our brains beat in by Bama the week before we play them every year, with the Egg bowl to follow! We get up to play Bama, get beat, then are down for Hogs, and have to get back up in a short week to play OM. Worst scheduling ever. I wish the Egg Bowl would go back to Saturday after Tgiving every year.

No ****. After we beat them for the sec West, they ran off about 10 straight against us. DM turned the tide against them and I’m grateful. I lived over there in those days and they were pretty bitter.

I think it’s an undervalued rivalry as most of the time it’s a darn close game regardless of who’s the better team.

if any should be bitter it’s us as JWS should have probably sewn up another division title or two if they hadn’t of had a few very unlikely upsets.

Im happy to beat Arkansas every year and call it a rivalry regardless.

 

[dickiedawg]

They’re a division rival with comparable levels of success as us in football, with some ups and downs. Right now our program is in better shape, but with new head coaches on both sides, that could change very quickly.
The games are normally competitive, and we’ve had some real classics over the last decade. Obviously the fans don’t give it the same weight as the Ole Miss rivalry but as far as a competitive on field rivalry I don’t see how this wouldn’t qualify.

Petrino? Granted his tenure was cut short early lol.

I do think Nutt was a little underappreciated, he wasn’t as horrible as Bielema and won the West twice, but then again any coach gifted with Matt Jones and Darren McFadden back to back from in-state probably feels like they won the lottery
