OPINION | WALLY HALL: New fans will learn of Hogs-’Horns rivalry


DALLAS -- A couple of generations of Arkansas Razorback fans don't know the joy of flashing the upside down Hook 'em Horns sign, which will not be an automatic on-field penalty for players in the SEC according to the league's coordinator of officials John McDaid.

Those generations don't understand the decades of the Texas Longhorns being the No. 1 rival, only to be told the Hogs didn't really matter.

That UT despises Texas A&M and hates Oklahoma.

There was no room left to resent the Razorbacks. The truth is Darrell Royal and Frank Broyles were close friends but there was no one they wanted to beat more.

Last week, Longhorn Coach Steve Sarkisian made it clear that the burnt orange was looking forward to renewing rivalries with the Aggies and the Razorbacks.
