As a Missouri fan, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little bit strange that a program like KSU keeps agreeing to play a team as gross as the pigs. They will drag your image straight into the woo pig sewer they're always yelling about.
It's been well documented that the minority students at Mizzou were so opposed to playing a game in the state of Arkansas that they held huge protests and hunger strikes. The football team refused to even play the game until coach Pinkel admitted that Arkansas is smelly and racist. (When the SEC originally begged us to join, we agreed to do so on the condition that we didn't have to be in the same division as the pigs even though it makes no geographic sense to put Mizzou in the East.)
Seriously...one game against them can be overlooked. Two games though? I'm starting to kind of mentally associate the two programs. Obviously that's great for Arkansas, but it's not something that the Stanfords, Notre Dames, and Kansas States of the world want to be associated with.
