Arkansas writer miffed that 1 publication failed to put Kopps

[Commercecomet24]

I travel to Fort Smith every 6 months for business and have some really good friends there and they're all arky fans and pretty cool about everything but y'all are right it's almost cultish like up there. And they are very full of themselves even though they have no reason to be. It was so awesome to be able to rub this NC in their face when they gave me heck about our sect debacle! Karma is a witch!

Are they another SEC team with full scholarships?

[Lord McBuckethead]

When it comes to SEC sports and the Arkansas media, Arkansas is North Korea.

No exaggeration. Ignore them. It's the most insular state ever.

Now that is an accurate analogy.

Even when they were in the SWC, they considered TX their biggest rival, and I can tell you that TX did not feel the same.

Some old-school Texas fans would vehemently disagree with you there. Arkansas plays Texas this year in football and reading some of their boards they used to hate Arkansas almost as much as they do OU now when both programs were top 10 consistently. Arkansas is playing Arkansas State now but I doubt it changes much.

Not having the likely Golden Spikes winner as a first-team all-american is a bit weird when every other publication will but if they're mainly focused on pro prospects then I can understand it.

Hating a team and being its rival are two different things. I hate Florida, but we are not rivals.

They need to name a starting pitcher and a relief pitcher to all first teams of ALL publications. I've been saying this for years.
