Sam Pittman and the Arkansas Razorbacks had every right to troll Missouri following a 34-17 victory on Friday in Fayetteville. So, that’s exactly what they did in a hilarious video posted to the Razorbacks’ Twitter account.

Taking a clip from a music video titled “We Are Mizzou,” Arkansas spliced it together with a video of Pittman laughing postgame to create the masterpiece below.

The original three-minute long “We Are Mizzou” music video is a tribute to the Tigers’ basketball team and begins with a shot at Arkansas.

“Where’s coach (Mike Anderson) at these days anyways?” one man asks. “Arkansas? …You know the worst thing about Arkansas? It’s got Kansas in it.”

It was the Hogs, however, who would get the latest laugh in their dominant win on the football field Saturday. They finished the year 8-4, the program’s best record since 2011, and now await their bowl destination.

“I know it’s 8-4 and the world may look at 8-4 as 8-4, but it’s not here at Arkansas,” Pittman said. “It’s different. We haven’t been relevant for a while. For us to do that, to those kids in that locker room, that’s a big, big deal.”

Prior to Pittman’s arrival in 2020, Arkansas had lost 19 consecutive conference contests. They snapped that losing streak in the second game of his coaching tenure, taking out Mississippi State last season. They finished 3-7 against an all-SEC schedule, and improved to 4-4 in conference play in 2021.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback KJ Jefferson led the way, finishing with 262 yards passing and a touchdown against the Tigers. He also added 58 yards rushing. True freshman running back Raheim “Rocket” Sanders scored two touchdowns on eight carries.

The Razorbacks are set to play in their first bowl game since 2016. They were invited to play against TCU in the Texas Bowl in 2020, but it was canceled because of COVID-19.

Meanwhile Missouri, though it fell victim to an Arkansas troll Friday, has also put together a respectable 2021 campaign. It will be the first bowl appearance for the Tigers under second-year coach Eli Drinkwitz.
