Name this history past the days of Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson playing oline for them? Humor me
:dwillhuh: They have a fairly storied rivalry with Texas, have a couple notable games with OU and obviously has history with A&M. They're a familiar connection for those Big 12 schools, and I would say that's led to some great games with TAMU this decade. I don't see how they could be in the same lane as Kansas State just off the strength of who they're connected with


I would think OSU, between the Rose Bowl's history and remaining the marquee name in whatever conference they ultimately end up in, would prefer a Pac 12/Big 12 merger, but who knows :manny: . Michigan would be better off following whatever OSU chooses and I know their fans don't wanna hear that :hubie: I think FSU would take whatever avenue gives them the most money and keeps the Florida rivalries as a possibility and Clemson is Clemson

shyt would be hard though :whoo:

FSU and Clemson make sense...

At this point, it's pure greed. :snoop:
Writing was on the wall. Delusional to think it was going to stop here. This is why I said, OU could've done this alone. Screw it. Go scorch earth. SEC title will be the natty at that point.

That I know. I’m questioning the relevance of it. Excuse my recency bias but I think of aTm, OU, or Nebraska before I even think of Arkansas
I can see why you say Nebraska because it’s more recent and they had classic games as well. But if you ask most older Texas fans, Arkansas is right up there with behind OU and just about on par with A&M. That said, it’s an age thing. Most younger Texas fans would say Arkansas is no longer a rival. When I say younger, I mean those under 40.

With Texas and OU going to the $EC I think it’s going to be a bidding war for the B1G when the tv deal is done FOX might spend $$$$ to get the rights to B1G ten football

Exactly, a lot of us came up in the post-SWC era. We came up in the BCS/BigXII era. I became a horns fan in the Ricky Williams-Major Applewhite era. So a lot of the pre-BigXII history and the classic rivalry between Texas and Arkansas has been long forgotten by many or not remembered by the younger ppl like myself.
