Being a Razorback fan is a tough job. It's exhilarating, it's nerve wracking and nail biting. And this season, it promises to be nothing less.

Razorback fans are a special group of people. Rarely do you see people just voluntarily start calling the hogs or incorporating 'woo pig' into their daily language. Not many just side with that Arkansas team just because (which can't be said of certain other SEC teams...). No, Arkansas fans stick to tradition, they're invested and they're tied to the hogs for life. They wear their colors and say 'sooieeee' regardless and know that any pregame presumptions about the hogs performance can easily be squandered before the first quarter ends. Sure we have doubts and know that games can go any number of ways, but the crazy fans, current and past students alike, are always ready to hang on through 4th quarter heartbreak and overtime insanity.

We are always underdogs. We rarely get seated, we play tough schedules, and we don't get credit where it's due. But Arkansas fans are always prepared, no matter how 'bad were supposed to be this season.' We are usually the only onlookers believing that games aren't over 'til they're over because the team we are is just so unpredictable. We upset and thrive in stadiums that consider us a by week. We when games we were supposed to lose by three touchdowns. Our boys always put on a show, giving opposing fans a little piece of what it feels like to be on edge every quarter. We go through eight different highs and lows per game and remain both enraged and entertained through every Saturday on the hill.

So we've started off hot; our Razorbacks are busting along at full steam. While our past seasons have been nothing short of a hot mess and upward climb, we know to stay optimistic, to continue to rep cardinal and white, knowing our hogs will soon have a tastier reputation. Because anything can happen when you face that Arkansas team.

It's fun to root for the hogs but it takes a special person: dedicated with a full heart, ready for the unthinkable, the impossible. And it seems that this year, we've signed up for the craziest season yet.

Fayetteville peaks in the fall and our football team follows suit. We live for November and know that there are plenty of Saturdays waiting for the thrill the hogs bring. Experiencing games as a Razorback fan have been some of the greatest highlights here on the hill and the history made on the field will be moments we never forget. It's sometimes hard to watch, but at the end of the day, it's even harder to be humble when you're an Arkansas Razorback fan.

Woo pig and go hogs!
