I don't know what forum this belongs in but I wanted to share some Razorback Pride in Iraq

[BOSSHOG]

The Arkansas Army National Guard serving in Iraq wanted to make a statement:

Okay everyone WOOO PIG SOOOOIE!

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Is that a feral pig, BOSS?

:hide:

Nice pic.

[BOSSHOG]

4. Ferocious, savage, brutal

Per the dictionary - Yes. What a wonderful mascot. And my quasi Hog Shrine is on display in my garage complete with an original Hog Hat!

Per my alma mater, I'm proud of my Razorback Red State.

2. I like Arkansas; when we went to fish at the Norfork & White R, we found

the state to be very clean. The roads didn't have any trash along them for miles and miles. Great people, great catfish and great local music.

[BOSSHOG]

3. If you ever get the opportunity

Visit Eureka Springs (way up northwest Arkansas) in the fall. Its a little community of aging hippies, the geography is incredible (the Switzerland of the Ozarks). Its like traveling to another planet. Incredibly beautiful.

[AlinPA]

13. Sounds great. I'm an aged "hippie", but never lived in SF.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Glad we could keep the website up for you Boss. WOO PIG SOOOOIE!!

[BOSSHOG]

6. The story warmed the cockles of my heart

I was an obnoxious Razorback Fan (is there any other kind?) when I was in the Navy. I had a large ceramic Hog on my desk which my Sailors had to bow to upon entering my office. It often got kidnapped, even got a couple ransom notes, but its still proudly serving me in my retired "I love me Office."

[sinkingfeeling]

10. There's a sale on Razorback stuff this week as Wal-Mart's on campus for their shareholders'

meeting. You need anything, just let me know.

[BOSSHOG]

12. I get to town on occasion

I love that drive north of Alma on the new interstate and that incredible sight of Ole Main through the rocks. There used to be an awesome Drive-in on Highway 62 heading for Farmington which is now a Wal-Mart. I have some wonderful (pornographic) memories of nights at that drive in in my old pickup truck when I was in high school. Thanks very much for the offer. If I got any more Razorback stuff in the house, my Jayhawk wife will move me into the garage.

7. We have a diverse group of religions

in Arkansaw but the main one is Razorback Football, and Razorback Basketball is right behind

[BOSSHOG]

8. Hello My Friend

and don't forget Razorback Track and Field. And hopefully the Hog Baseballers will get to Omaha this year. Goodness gracious my four years at UA were nothing but magic.

[lazer47]

9. Everytime I go up and see "Old Main" and hear the Alma Mater

I still at the age of 60 get tears in my eyes

[BOSSHOG]

11. I was a student from 75-79

There was a move at the time to tear down Ole Main and build a parking lot on that space. The Alumni Association went ballistic, thank God. I had a few classes in Ole Main, what a truly regal structure. I must say the campus (and Fayetteville) were more charming in the 60's and 70's then they are today but I still love it every time I visit with a corresponding stroll down Dickson Street. My name is forever etched in the Senior Walk in front of Mullins library and to the right. I wish I still lived in that incredible town.

19. God I must be OLD

I mis Lance Alworth, and Jim Williams, and Jim Burnett,

[BOSSHOG]

20. and Bill Montgomery and Joe Ferguson and Sidney Moncrief

and Monty Kiffin and Norm Debriyn and Dan Hampton. What a great legacy we have to be proud of. Remember U. S. Reed's halfcourt shot at the buzzer against Texas A&M? Its forever painted at the Walton Fieldhouse.

[Clark2008]

14. I LOVED Clint Stoerner.

I'm a Tennessee fan.

:evilgrin:



Sorry - had to gig ya! :hi:

[BOSSHOG]

15. The fumble is forever etched in my psyche!

We were at a bar in Biloxi, it was pouring rain. Almost as painful as the Game of the Century in 69 when Texas scored 15 unanswered points to beat the Hogs 15-14. Number one vs number two with Nixon in the stands.

[aikoaiko]

16. I have to give DU credit -- no one has argued that razorback is an insult to Islam

Razorback --> hog --> pork --> unclean animal ---> etc etc etc.

[BOSSHOG]

18. Didn' even think of that

To me a Razorback is something for my ballcap or sweatshirt or mantle or mouse pad or license plate or bumper sticker. Love My Hogs. Thanks for pointing that out. I extremely doubt that the Arkansas Athletic Department has anything against Muslims.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

17. Very cool! "Razorback Medivac"!!! A hundred gallons of paint and lotsa initiative!

Who can't get off on that?!?!?!

[BOSSHOG]

21. Yeah, there must have been some pride involved

because that was a rather big undertaking. Looks just like the Hog on Center Court at the Basketball Arena.

[Suich]

22. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, BOSSHOG!

:applause: to all involved!

[BOSSHOG]

23. Thank you. It makes this UA grad very, very proud

[Suich]

24. My friend, Bubba, (Tom Skiles), turned me into a

Razorbacks fan in March 1991, when I started cleaning his apartment! Everyone who knew him eventually became a fan!
