Yes, the games with Arkansas always did set the tone for the season...and prior to Houston joining the conference in 1976, the SWC schedule remained unchanged year-to-year throughout the 1950s and 1960s and mid-1970s...Arkansas was always the first SWC game....Before TV, there was only one or two non-conference games before Arkansas....I've read statements (I think by Bob Lilly) that Fred Taylor was in fact on the edge of dominating the conference when he was fired....Schofner was as sentimental hire, plus a knee-jerk reaction to the non-TCU image-fitting drinking, cussing Billy Tohill....
