I totally agree. I went to law school at Arkansas. I'm originally from New Mexico but always liked Texas. My freshman year in law school I cheered for the Longhorns. My second year I was ambivalent. My third year I was totally a Hog. My daughter still has her hog hat some 40 years later living here in Austin. Money wise Arkansas made the right choice, but they should be in the Big T12.
