FAYETTEVILLE -- Missouri linebacker Eric Beisel, injected a new angle into the Arkansas-Missouri game late Monday by challenging the Razorbacks and mispronouncing the name of the Tigers' border rival by saying "Ar-Kansas" like LSU Coach Les Miles did in 2007.
Beisel, a junior from Fenton, Mo., who was recruited by the Razorbacks, pronounced Arkansas correctly one time out of four references, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune. The other times he called the state Ar-Kansas.
"Whether they decide to get on a plane and show up at our stadium on Friday, that's their call," Beisel told reporters.
