Have you ever been to a Razorback football, basketball, or baseball game and wondered why we do some of the things we do when it come to cheering on those hogs? For example why a Razorback mascot? In the early 1900’s the wild razorback hogs roamed Arkansas and were known for their wild, ill-tempered, and faught and defeated whatever came in their way. What a perfect way to describe a team to me. Hugo Bezdek, the first Arkansas coach, is who is credited for changing the Arkansas mascot from the Cardinal to the RAZORBACK!!!
Now what about calling those Hogs! Its something some of us have grown up to but for some people hearing it the first time can be a bit surprising. The “Hog Call” is known to date back to the 1920’s when a group of football fans and it has stuck ever since.

Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooiee!
Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooiee!
Woooooooooo, Pig! Sooiee! RAZORBACKS!
But just saying it isnt really calling the Hogs! To correctly call the Hogs you must be standing, you start with both hands in the air, wiggiling your fingers to the words Woooooooooo, then bringing your arms down on Pig, then arms back in the air for Sooie!
These are both a must to know before becoming a Razorback or even coming to a Razorback game. We Razorback fans take pride in our school spirit and the traditions we have set before us.
We will always “Bleed RED and WHITE”
Always and Forever,
TRUE RAZORBACK FAN
