On surlyhorns, most Longhorn fans, for obvious reasons, have a preference for a pod with Texas-OU-Arkansas-Texas A&M.

They're calling it "The Hate Pod." :)


That was my original request as well

there was a time way back when a lot of Horn fans concidered the Hogs a rival

As a Sooner who grew up near the Arkansas border, I got so tired of hearing the woo pig trash talk.  The idea of kicking hog ass on a yearly basis just puts a smile on my face.

LSU would push to be in a pod with Texas A&M. 

Which is almost a sure sign something like the LSU/OleMiss/MSU/Mizzou pod is what you'd actually get.  Adjust other pods accordingly.
I would personally prefer to be in the same pod as LSU. I like the interstate rivalry and I think A&M is a much better match with LSU both historically and culturally. 

I want to make sure we continue the budding rivalry and maybe play some catch-up in the win dept.

Is Arkansas considered a former helmet?  They haven’t been that good since I’ve been a CFb fan starting in the mid 90’s.

Arkansas is not a helmet.  They certainly had some success historically though.

I said former helmet. We’re they considered at least semi helmet?  I’d say they’re not even a semi helmet at this point.

30 years ago, Arkansas was what Stewart Mandel would call a "Baron"--in the echelon just below the "Kings."  Now Arkansas is probably a "Knight," or perhaps just a "Peasant."
They won a sort-of national championship in 1964 (when Barry Switzer was an assistant there) and almost won the 1969 "Game of the Century" vs. Texas.  That's not to be confused with the 1966 GOTC between Notre Dame and Michigan State, or the 1971 GGOTC between OU and Nebraska.
They have won or tied for 4 divisional championships in the SEC.
I don't think that they have ever been a helmet.

I agree, back in the day, they had some consistently very good teams competitive with Texas when Texas was Texas and not texas.

They were never in the USC/ND/OSU kind of terrain, more akin to UGA in the 1960s, probably better.  They did beat UGA in a 1968 bowl when UGA was 8-0-2, giving rise to rumors that the UGA team was out partying the night before in NO.  Or they didn't want to be there.  Or something.

Being 8-0-2 is an odd record to have in my view.

Texas under Darrell Royal was very good. They won three NCs and 11 SWC championships under Royal. They were also pretty good when Earl Campbell was running the ball. I think that are a genuine blue blood.

Top 10 in wins and win% are the blue bloods, the helmets.  It's about more than one time period of success.  That's why Miami and Florida State are no more blue blooded than Minnesota.

Do we really have to keep Tennessee as a blue blood?
