Actually, there's a lot of truth to this, especially with Dallas. It's been that way as far back as I can remember. The Univ. of Arkansas gets a lot of students from Dallas, and always has.

It's not so much people living in Dallas like some think, it's just that Arkansas fans are known to take over Dallas for bowl games/basketball games dating back to the old SWC days.
In fact, the SWC Basketball Tournament used to be held in Dallas every year, and the venue (Reunion Arena) was known as Barnhill South.
The passion of Arkansas fans for their Razorbacks often overran the confines of SWC basketball venues, so much so, that Reunion Arena in Dallas (annual site of the SWC postseason tournament) was deemed "Barnhill South" (after the Razorbacks' on-campus arena) based on the numbers and intensity of Hog fans present.
I wasn't alive yet, so yes, Wiki was my friend for that Info.
Hog fans LOVE Dallas.
