The war of words between Arkansas coach Bret Bielema and Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury is the talk of the college football world after Kingsbury said Arkansas got its you-know-what kicked in last weekend’s 35-24 loss, and now Texas A&M Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin appears to have thrown his hat in the ring.
Though Sumlin didn’t say much, he gave Kate Hairopoulos of The Dallas Morning News some A-material to post on Twitter.
Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin on Kliff Kingsbury predicting "win" over Arkansas. "What's going on between those 2 is between those 2."

Sumlin: I'll be at the Texas High School coaches clinic this year. "Maybe I'll referee between those guys."

Wow. Way to essentially call both a conference and an in-state rival a couple of babies, Coach Sumlin. It’s also important to note that the Aggies are playing the Razorbacks on Saturday night in College Station, so perhaps Sumlin shouldn’t poke the already angry bear.
Either way, football is football and some people are going to be sore losers, winners, etc., and Sumlin probably just thinks the entire argument is silly and wants to focus on getting Texas A&M a national championship. By improving to 4-0 in beating Arkansas this weekend, a step towards that goal can indeed be taken.
Kickoff at Kyle Field is slated for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
