Calling the Hogs
Advertisements
Razorback fans have been "Calling the Hogs" since the 1920s. It is said to have begun when a group of farmers attending a game began issuing hog calls to encourage a lagging Razorback football team. The encouragement worked and the attending crowd took notice of the farmers' calling. By the next game, a group of men had organized to cry "Wooo, Pig, Sooie." Since then this rallying cry has grown to become the school yell that unites Arkansas fans everywhere.
As with many traditions, the Hog Call has been altered and refined over the years into the rousing chorus that is so well known today.
Hog Call Cheer
Woooooooooo, Pig ! Sooie!
Woooooooooo, Pig ! Sooie!
Woooooooooo, Pig ! Sooie!
Razorbacks!!
