I haven’t caught up on Arkansas newspapers, so this may be old news. But I’m still curious what blog readers think about this deal in the works to create an annual rivalry football game between Texas A&M and Arkansas, to be played in Dallas-Fort Worth each year. The idea is to emulate the passion — and tourism dollars — of Texas-OU. It would be played on the opening weekend of the Texas State Fair. The idea, I guess, is to help Aggie recruiting in the Dallas area, though it could do the same, presumably, for the Hogs.
