The younger generation probably not. But it used to be a good rivalry. The younger generation of Arkansas fans will probably give you 3-4 different teams honestly but anyone older than 40 it’s 100% Texas.

It’s actually one of those sad lost rivalries.

Arkansas/Texas used to be a huge game in the SWC and had the same type of billing as OU/Texas.....

There were a couple of #1 vs #2 matchups with Texas and Arkansas in the 60s

They were big SWC conference rivals at one time... when the SWC disbanded, the BIG12 was formed, Arkansas went to SEC...

Yes I am aware of the history. But 30 years of being in a different conference and being at best the 3rd biggest rival

Fans consider Utah are rivals, but Utes don't. USU hates us. We don't care.

I have never met a Ute fan that doesn't consider us their primary rival. Some have tried in the past to say they were

Arkansas left for the SEC 4 years before the Big12 was created.

It was a huge rivalry in the old Southwest Conference from the 60's to the 80's.
