Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette: Leap Frogs: This isn’t your father’s TCU

By Bob Holt

FORT WORTH — Arkansas’ latest Southwest Conference Reunion Tour stop comes tonight at TCU’s Amon G. Carter Stadium.

The No. 15-ranked Horned Frogs will be the fifth former SWC rival the Razorbacks have played, along with Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and SMU since leaving for the SEC after the 1991 season.

Arkansas is 11-11 in post-SWC matchups against its Texas exes — including SEC games against Texas A&M since 2012.

The Razorbacks will be back in Texas in two weeks to play Texas A&M at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

“I absolutely love these games against our old SWC rivals,” said Jay Bequette, a Little Rock attorney who was Arkansas’ starting center in 1981-1982. “It’s great for recruiting in Texas and to see where you stack up against some really good teams. It also brings back a pretty cool era for Arkansas football.”
