Arkansas and Texas A&M would not meet on the field again until 1927, notwithstanding that both schools became charter members of the Southwest Conference twelve years earlier in 1915.

On March 10, 2008, officials from both schools announced the series would recommence on October 3, 2009, under the name "Southwest Classic."

Arkansas won 26–13, in the two teams' second meeting in Fayetteville as conference foes.

The game was played in Little Rock at War Memorial Stadium in front of a national audience, broadcast on ABC.

Arkansas would beat Georgia in the Cotton Bowl Classic, 31–10, finishing the season 10–2 and ranked No.

Meanwhile, the Aggies would stumble in a Liberty Bowl loss to USC, 20–0, and also finish the season with a 10–2 record and No.

[14] Arkansas was led by head coach Lou Holtz in his fourth year with the team, and went on to an overall record of 7–5 (3–5 in conference) for the season.

The Aggies were led by Tom Wilson in his next to last season with the team, and finished the year 4–7 (3–5 in conference).

Arkansas would take back the lead in the 3rd quarter on a Greg Thomas touchdown run.

The Razorback defense played great all game long, holding the Aggies to a field goal in the second half.

The rivalry was originally slated to take place on a yearly basis at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

As Broderick Green charged into the end zone on the final score of the game, Arkansas fans appeared on the Cowboys Stadium video holding a sign saying "Welcome to the SEC" (in recognition of A&M's announcement only six days earlier that it would join Arkansas as a member of the SEC in 2012).

The 2014 contest returned to AT&T Stadium (home of the Dallas Cowboys) after a two-year "home-and-home" schedule the previous two seasons.

The 2017 matchup also ended in overtime, with the two teams combining for a series record 93 points.
