re: Unless you’ve lived up here….You just can’t understand. The Hogs hate the Tigers.

I grew up in South Arkansas as a Tiger fan. Five years ago I moved to NWA. There are two distinct fan bases when it comes to Arkansas. The fans in South Arkansas ( including those in Little Rock) can be extremely obnoxious to Tiger fans, and I attribute it to jealousy of LSU success. Most of those fans, I would say more than 99%, never attended the UofA and more than likely have never gone to a game in Fayetteville. They are Hog fans only because their granddaddy and dad were, so they carry on the tradition. They have no other sports teams to cheer for, and get their information from The Buzz 103.7. Most cannot even hold an intelligent conversation about any other team or sport. They have no idea, and no interest. 90% of their wardrobe has something to do with UofA. Oh, and I was told, emphatically by several, to get the frick out of Arkansas unless I was going to be a fan, and how could I live in 'THEIR" state and wear that ugly arse purple and yellow. And they are serious. In NWA, it's a totatlly different world. Maybe has to do with their education level and knowledge there are other teams besides Pigs.
