Direct answer to OP's request:

Hog fans are pretty unique in that they'll support anything with a Razorback on it.

Basketball, Baseball, Football, Softball, Track, Golf...it doesn't matter the hog fans will turn out.

It gets crazy when Arkansas has a good team or plays a good team. See Texas game last year for a preview of what it will typically be like when OU comes to Fayetteville.

There's no professional sports, so all the fan enthusiasm pretty much goes full on Woo Pig. There are about 16 Arkansas State fans that will try to argue, but even they are pretty half hearted.

We hate Texas with a passion. Therefore we respect and like OU. Expect a knock down drag out war, but we'll always hate Texas more than we will you.

We don't like Ole Miss. We find LSU amusing. We respect Bama (in football anyway). But...we hate Texas.

I spent part of my youth on the AR / OK border and can attest to the accuracy of this statement! I always felt empathy for the Hogs as they were the only non TX team in the SWC. Solidarity with my adopted Hog fan brothers and sisters!

Damn near perfect description.

Ole Miss is the SEC rival no doubt. Losing to them is bitter. April 25th is now pretty much a holiday.

I think the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' thing with OU we've got going on will sour pretty quickly once they make the move given the proximity, but you're right. It'll never touch Texas.
