The Hogs were originally cardinals, until 1909 when their head coach called his boys a “wild band of razorback hogs” after a win over LSU and it stuck.
Tusk IV, the hairy hog that attends all Razorback home football games, is a Russian boar, which closely resembles the wild hogs known as razorbacks native to the Arkansas wilderness. These razorbacks are tough and at times ill-tempered — animals whose fearlessness and doggedness were the inspiration for the Razorback nickname. (SOURCE)
- The Hog Call is one of the most recognizable chants in all of sports. Here are the basics:
- Raise your arms above your head during the The Hog Call, yell “Wooo” and wiggle your fingers for a few seconds.
- Next, bring both arms straight down with fists clinched while yelling, “Pig.”
- Then extend your right arm with the “Sooie.”
- Repeat these steps two more times and finish by yelling
- “Razor-Backs” like this:
Wooooooooo. Pig. Sooie!
Wooooooooo. Pig. Sooie!
Wooooooooo. Pig. Sooie! Razorbacks!
