The Texas coach had some pointed words Wednesday about the Arkansas fan base, so the Razorbacks coach responded Thursday.
DALLAS — Texas coach Steve Sarkisian spoke openly Wednesday about the Longhorns’ rivalries with Oklahoma and Texas A&M.“They hate Texas more than they like themselves,"So naturally, Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman was asked Thursday what he thinks about Sarkisian’s statement.
But Texas leads the all-time head-to-head series 56-23 against the Hogs — that’s 71 percent for UT, just 29 percent for UA. “We're looking forward to it,” Sarkisian said. “We're looking forward to renewing rivalries with Texas A&M and with Arkansas. We're one of the few schools with realignment that has benefitted from realignment that we've gotten some rivalries back.”
“You know, the difference is is Texas is certainly a different team than what we played,” Pittman said. “That was his first year there. And now, you know, obviously he's a great coach, great guy, and got a wonderful football team.
