Arkansas vs Arkansas State is the right move again by Hunter Yurachek

Our long Cold War is officially over.

Arkansas vs Arkansas State is finally happening.

As you heard yesterday, the two sides have formally agreed to play each other for the first time in history at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock in 2025.

Under athletic director Hunter Yurachek, the Razorbacks began dipping their toes in the local pool by playing institutional affiliates UAPB and UALR in baseball, and it has only continued to gain momentum since then. The long-standing mandate that “thou shalt not play in-state schools” going back to the Barnhill and Frank Broyles era has now been lifted as the Hogs have continued to look for more nearby opportunities.
