  Let's finish it up, and I appreciate your time today with this. You
• 0:02
  know, we talk a lot about Texas and Oklahoma. That's been a big
• 0:05
  story, that'll be the biggest story at SEC media days. Two new teams
• 0:08
  into the league Texas, Texas, A and m uh finally getting back on
• 0:12
  the field this year. But then also Texas and Arkansas. And for those
• 0:15
  that are maybe younger and do not remember, talk a little bit about that
• 0:19
  that rivalry that is there, that old uh you know, uh Western Athletic
• 0:24
  Conference rivalry Texas and Arkansas and what that means for both programs. Well,
• 0:29
  I will turn sixty one this summer, and from birth, you are told
• 0:34
  in the state, or you were back then that you should hate Texas,
• 0:38
  that they were the biggest rival that you know, back then the Southwest Conference
• 0:43
  days, and it was just it was just a thing that you know,
• 0:46
  has breathed into you as young and it's not certainly not that way these days
• 0:50
  because they haven't been haven't played as much. But he's clear when Arkansas has
• 0:54
  played Texas in a few times basically at the Southwest Conference, that this state
• 0:58
  still considers it a big, big thing. That's again that's gonna be another
• 1:02
  eleven am game. Uh here uh in Faetteville. They so the Crab will
• 1:07
  be a spirited but they will. You know, that'll be one of the
• 1:11
  big games on the schedule for them this year, for both the old ones
• 1:15
  and the young ones, because Texas should have a pretty good football team and
• 1:19
  uh, you know, the opportunity, even if Arkansas is not going to
• 1:23
  be a contender, the opportunity to to to drop a loss on Texas will
• 1:27
  be viewed in this state leading after that game and after that game, uh
• 1:33
  you know, it's something that would make for a successful season much like it
• 1:37
  did back in the day. You can find them at Haugville dot net.
