I'll start. I've lived in Arkansas my whole life and I graduated from the U of A.

It's all I've known growing up. I went to games In my mommy's tummy. Father was a season ticket holder to both stadiums in fay and LR. Went to games at both stadiums my whole life? Before I even realized what was going on lol. My whole family are hog fans. I dont even remember learning the hog call. All i can recall is just knowing how to do it. It's tradition....a family and friend connection...comfortable Familiarity..and I've put to much damn time, money, belief, faith, sweat, and tears into them to turn my back. I love our traditions, and I believe they are pure and original.

I enjoyed my trip to Fayetteville..specifically Hammontree's and the local market on the square Saturday morning. Dickson street is cool and Old Main is a beautiful structure on campus.

I've never attended the UofA, Or any college for that matter. My maternal grand parents both went to the UofA. I would love to attend the UofA someday.

I've never really thought about it, that's a good one. I'm the same way. I think it's because in Arkansas families, people make you call the Hogs even when you're still a baby. It's ingrained before we can even form memories.

I questioned this every day during the Crowe-Ford and Heath-Pel years...

I was indoctrinated nearly immediately from the exiting the womb. I've been able to escape the Southern Baptist and Rural Life indoctrination, but I'll never be able to shed the Hogs from my being.

Lou Holtz, Eddie Sutton, Billy Ray Smith Jr., The Triplets, U.S. Reeds shot, the '78 Orange Bowl, and 42-11 are all childhood memories of mine (Yes I'm getting old ) Some of my fondest memories are sitting around the fire at deer camp with my grandpa and dad listening to Razorback football. Baseball led me to a school other than the UofA (if I had it to do over I'd swallow my pride and walk on ), but I'll always be a Razorback fan.

Hell yeah, that sounds like a great way to experience a game. Better than sitting in front of the tv.
