Alumni from virtually any school can be said to be passionate about their Alma Matters. This, however, is just not true about the alumni of the University of Arkansas. These alum are not just passionate – they are in fact, HOG WILD. Yes, that’s right, you’ve not experienced team loyalty and devotion until you’ve heard the “Calling of the Hogs” by 70,000 + fans who attend each home Razorback football game. “WOOO PIG SOUIE.” But don’t just take our word for it…Fayetteville was recently dubbed one of the “Top 50 Sports Towns in America” by Sports Illustrated Magazine.

On game day, get ready to enjoy a full day of supporting those Hogs. Burgers, barbeque and potato salad are on the menu for pre-game tailgate parties. Fans begin setting up their lawn chairs and food tents early in the morning in preparation of a Hog Good Time. A sea of red shirts and other Razorback apparel is a sure sign of the support and dedication the Alumni feel for their football team and their school.
Now don’t get the idea that UA Alumni only care about sports. They are just as passionate about their educational institution as well. The University of Arkansas has just reached and surpassed the $1 billion goal it set for itself in its most recent fundraising effort.
