My in-laws are from the Bentonville and Forrest City areas.
Huge Razorback fans. I've never heard any trash talk, no pig sooies, etc. Not one mention of the '78 Orange Bowl. Curiously though, also no mention of OU to the SEC.

Now, maybe it's because we don't play each other often. Or they're just being nice. Arkansas fans often get mentions in threads about annoying fans, however.

What gives? What are they like on gameday? Definitely will be going to Fayetteville a time or two, what are we in for?

Because they know your unrealistic expectations are going to crush your fragile ego's when you move over.

Razorbacks are underrated. Passionate as any in college sports despite a huge drop off in production recently. They’ll also party with the best of them

The biggest shock you are in for is just how much nicer NW Arkansas is than all of Oklahoma. You will start to realize just how big of a pile of shite OK is and want to move here to. When you attend your first game here you will then realize just how far behind you are as a program.

Having in-laws from Forrest City says plenty about you.

With Arkansas fans you will see different things.

You have your minority % of rude obnoxious fans (every team has them).

But most are nice and realistic but passionate about their Hogs.

But on here....you have an allstar cast of hog fans that are good at smack talking and trolling. They have a good time doing so.

Think gamecock fans but in a state with no football power to dash their hopes

I took my best shots at you all in the past year and I think I'm done with that. I had no respect for Stoops after the Mixon coverup, or Riley inheriting the Mixon coverup and playing innocent, and I've rolled my eyes IRL at some jerks associated with your Air Force base and/or Lawton, but I imagine those aholes were not Oklahoma people anyway, transplants.

I overwhelmingly love Oklahoma people.


You made a good hire with Venables.


I respect you all and I'm happy we are finally going to play each year while only being 3 something hours away.

This is the SEC, not a poop conference that is falling apart.

Good fans that deserve some good football after several years of crap.

Master trolls. When they're winning, there are none better. It's best to just sit back and watch lest you find yourself in their sights.

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.

This is a very jaded board to get a clear picture about stuff like imo. Arkansas fans are legit from my experiences. Got a lot of extended family that lived in and around Rogers/Fayetteville, and Bentonville. (spelling?)

They're all real fans, and as far as "fan-atics" go, they're very down to earth.

Just my $0.02

Arkansas fans are among the best around....great people.

Arkansas Razorbacks have a great tradition, too....they were the 4th winningest program in college football during the 1960's, including winning the 1964 national title.....had only one losing season from 1959-1989.

Since your Arky relatives won't mention the '78 Orange Bowl.....I will.

What a wipeout by the Razorbacks!

They hate us in a weird, obsessive, stalky way and nobody knows why, not even them. That's all you need to know.

Fayetteville is awesome. I’ve been to two Arkansas games. The atmosphere is great. The fans are rowdy and very proud of their surroundings. Arky fans are a blast and very welcoming. Plus, NW Arkansas can’t be beat. Dickson Street is awesome as well. Great food joints and bars.

I know there are a lot of Arky fans who don’t like OU because of the fans and I can understand their sentiments. But I enjoy Arkansas fans. I rag on them here and in person from time to time because I know some personally. All in all, it’s fun back and forth.
