There are times when someone suggests that Texas week isn’t so much a thing these days in the Ozarks. Generally, they are youngsters. Blasphemy is my response.
Yes, the Longhorns and Razorbacks haven’t played as often since 1992. That’s when Arkansas went to the Southeastern Conference to let Texas finish the demolition of the Southwest Conference with egotism in the board rooms.
But the dislike for all things burnt orange is still alive and well in the state of Arkansas. It’s partly because the elderly (like me) won’t let it go, but it’s just as much because of the influx of Texans on the University of Arkansas campus.
