Calling the Hogs is a tradition of University of Arkansas students, alumni, and sports fans. The origin and date of first use are not known, [1] but is said to have started in the 1920s when people attempted to encourage a Razorback football team that was losing.[2] The next home game produced a group who repeated the cheer often.[2]
The cheer is the best-known cheer at the University.[3] It is not confined to Razorback Stadium, where it is used before every kickoff, and may be used in locales such as airports and hotels where Razorback fans unite.[3]
