Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is a former Arkansas player who started on the 1964 national championship team. Correlate that his roommate was Jimmy Johnson. Jones built the greatest football palace ever seen. And he wanted his alma mater to play an annual game there.

However, last week’s close call against Bowling Green was not encouraging for fans or College Football odds gamblers.
