My Hog blood runs deep but I will root for Mizzou whenever they play those pigeon frickers at KU.

Born in south Arkansas, went to school at UofA, and I am a full on masochist.

That about covers everything.

a lot of the answers already posted fit for me.

born this way, daddy raised me right, it's in my blood, etc.

i'm a hog in good times and bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, til death do us part.

i was the child who made posters for the walls of my house every game that we did not attend saying 'go hogs beat whoever' and this was before i was even in school.

Moved to Farmington in 2nd grade from Denver. Thankfully, by the time I graduated, I had been fully converted to a Razorbacks fan from a family of CU fans just in time to attend Arkansas. My dad was less than thrilled at time. Eventually converted him to being a Hog fan as well though.

I wasn't born and raised one but became one when I went to school there.

Bred, born, raised. Went there and walked on for a short period. Will support and love the Hogs till I die. (and hopefully after that as well)

Grandfather went there after coming home from WWII, and was a season ticket holder in both Fayetteville and Little Rock for many years. Two uncles went there for undergrad and my father went there for law school in the late 70's. While he was studying his arse off, my mom was watching The Triplets at Barnhill and the great teams of the early Holtz era and was hooked and thus raised my brother and me as Hog fans.

I graduated from UA and met my wife there (she was a grade school transplant who grew up a Hog fan as well) and both of us have a deep affection for our alma mater.

Mom, Dad and brother all are Hendrix grads, so I was the rebel

About to turn 41, the 78 Final Four is my first Razorbacks sports memory. After that my mom said when someone asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I always said "a Razorback"

1990 Cotton Bowl versus Tennessee is my first real memory followed up by the Elite 8 game against Texas that March being my first basketball memory.

Lived in Arkansas most of my life with the exception of a brief stint in Japan where my dad was stationed, everyone in my family with the exception of my grandmother (Michigan graduate) graduated from the UofA. Been to games since I was 3 years old (saw the 1994 national championship bball team when I was a kid), saw Matt Jones dunk the football over the goalpost from my seat behind the endzone 30 feet away, attended both Miracles on Markham, season ticket holder, will be enrolling there when I go back to college to finish my degree. The Razorbacks are all I've ever known.

My fiance is from tLandmass and is a big LSU fan, I told her we're gonna have some problems when we have our first child and decide what team we're gonna raise him/her to cheer for. I've got her coming around to being a hog fan though, took her to a few basketball games this year, and will be taking her to a football game or two next year.
