Arkansas and Oklahoma announced a basketball series scheduled to begin in December at BOK Center in Tulsa. It makes perfect sense.
So does the baseball series the schools recently resumed. The Sooners will come to Baum-Walker Stadium in 2021.
It begs the question: Why don’t the two schools play each other in football?
But if you ask some of the old-timers from both schools, it never even came up with football.
“No, it didn’t,” said Barry Switzer, the perfect historian for the question.
Arkansas and Oklahoma once played together in the Southwest Conference, before the Sooners escaped to what would later become the Big 8.
