This really isn’t that hard to understand. Look at any historical ranking of the best college football programs of all time. Arkansas ranks above Missouri in every one of them. Every. Single. One.
Arkansas is a better overall football program than Missouri. That is true. It is also true that Missouri has a winning record in the head to head matchups. Those two facts are not mutually exclusive. They can both be true.
Throw in the fact that we have only played 14 times in the 100+ years of the sport and it makes even more sense. It is really just a bit of a statistical anomaly. I figured you Missouri folks would be smart enough to understand that, but evidently not.

I didn’t see the forum or context in which Nabors said this. Was he specifically talking about the respective all time HISTORICAL programs against ALL teams? If so, arguably he may have a point.
If he was referring to the 14 times the teams met, then no, they cannot both be true. By winning 10 of the 14 meetings demonstrably Missouri was the better team in the vast majority of those games. Is there a new way we’re going to determine winners? Perhaps just on paper?

Brother. You've only got 2 more wins then Vandy since we joined this dang conference.
All time, the record is like 10-4.
Give us Kentucky as our "rival" -- at least those games are competitive.
