It’s hard to find a ton of battles in recent history between Arkansas and Ole Miss that either had a national impact or involved both teams putting together a special season. Still, this sub-rivalry has made its case as one of the more underrated matchups in the SEC, whether it’s the 2015 soulcrusher that decided the SEC West, or Hooty Dale’s return to Fayetteville in 2008.
This matchup’s undying ability to overcome historical insignificance with unforgettable weirdness just might be best defined by the seven-overtime thriller in 2001, which ended in a 58-56 defeat for the Rebs.
