And you know he wants a Texas vs Arkansas bowl. It would reinvigorate the Hog fan base and help Arkansas' Texas recruiting to come in and humiliate the horns in Houston.

Agree on all accounts. Arkansas is a very dangerous team right now.

Jerry Jones will be pushing for this as well.

I have been talking Arkansas all year, saying it was visible that they were due for an upset after having close loss after close loss. That being said, they aren't 30-0 better than Ole Miss. Seems pretty obvious to me that the Ole Miss players had their minds on spoiling Miss State next week.

Ole Miss knows just how big of a deal recruiting was for them to now be as relevant as they are. If they don't spoil Miss State and Mullen stays in town then the scale tips between the two schools in the favor of Mullen and the Dogs.

I think that Arkansas team would rip up Texas. Arkansas's line is bigger than most NFL teams and they have solidified as a unit. Ole Miss have a highly touted defensive line and they got manhandled.

One would think a Texas vs. TAMU match-up would be exciting and generate more interest in an otherwise run-of-the-mill 2nd/3rd tier bowl game.

WVU does not refuse to play Pitt.

This. And for that matter I'm not so sure Pitt refuses to play WVU so much as its more interested in getting the PSU series back as a regular fixture.
