Hogs and Horns to Strap It On

By CHIP BROWN / The Dallas Morning News

AUSTIN – Texas and Arkansas have orally agreed to resume their once-intense Southwest Conference rivalry in 2008, according to a UT source.

Under the agreement, which has not been finalized with a contract, Texas and Arkansas would play in Austin in 2008 and in Fayetteville in 2009.

There is also internal discussion that the Texas-Arkansas rivalry could continue beyond 2009 on an annual basis in Dallas – probably at the Cowboys’ new stadium in Arlington – if the Longhorns opt not to renew their agreement to play Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, the source said.
