A home and home series with former Southwest Conference rival Arkansas headlines a group of future football match-ups that The University of Texas announced Monday. The Longhorns will host the Razorbacks on Sept. 13, 2008 and make a return visit to Fayetteville on Sept. 12, 2009.
After meeting 65 times as SWC foes from 1915 to 1991, Texas and Arkansas met for the first time in eight years at the 1999 Cotton Bowl and then matched-up in a home and home series in 2003-2004. Texas holds a 55-21 advantage in the series that began in 1894.
