Grew up in Arkansas and have always been a die hard Razorback. I moved to Florifa in high school and am a student at UCF right now. I follow both teams but I'm definitely still more of a Razorback than I am a Knight. Even though I've been to every UCF home game in the past 3 years and partied with Blake Bortles in high school.

Arkansas is different. If you spent the first 18 years of your life there and you aren't a hog fan first and foremost then I wouldn't trust you. It goes beyond just sports. I went to Fayetteville and that has nothing to do with my fandom. I remember crying after Stoerner's fumble and I worshiped Matt Jones. I would gladly become a secondary fan of a new place I moved or a new school I went to but it'd always be second to the hogs. I think it comes down to being raised to be a fan. There aren't "sidewalk fans". Alot of that probably has to do with the fact that if you're willing to actually claim the hogs then it's doubtful you're doing it for bandwagon appeal. We don't have alot of that.
