One of the big rumors that has circulated around the Cotton Bowl festivities is that Jeff Long, the Arkansas athletic director, had some preliminary talks with Missouri about playing a non-conference game.

Even though the Tigers are joining the SEC they are in the East, at least for a year, the teams had the right to play an non-conference game.

The thought apparently was to replace Texas A&M, also a member of the SEC this summer but is now a conference game for the Razorbacks, with Missouri in Cowboys Stadium.

It seems now that the details could not be worked out and Long is still looking for the final non-conference game for next season.
