R is for Razorback!!!

I have a lot of good "R" words, but today R is for Razorback.  I mean everyone who knows me well, knows that I am pretty much a die hard Razorback fan. For those who do not know....Razorback is the mascot of my beloved University of Arkansas.  A lot of people always wondered why I wound up at the University of Arkansas back in 1998. My mother is from El Dorado, AR and spent a year of her 2 year college career at the UofA in Fayetteville.  Arkansas does not have any professional sports team, so the whole state embraces the Razorbacks.  It is nuts in that state!

I learned how to "Call the Hogs" when I was 2 and one of my mother's friends gave me my first Razorback shirt that I loved to wear.  However, it took my mother wanting to visit the UofA back in October of 1996 when I was a Junior in High Schhool to make my mind up that this was where I belonged.  I fell in love with the campus and did not apply any where else for college.  Summer of 1998 I moved into Humphry's dorm and began the most fun and most challenging 4 years of my life. I really found out how indpenedent I was and basically what true friends are.  And most of all....had a blast as a Razorback.  I was named a Razorback Classic in 2002, my senior year, a very prestigious honor that took getting nominated and a few rounds of interviews.  I was among 9 other seniors that were each given a full page spread in the yearbook to highlight our accomplishments at the UofA.  Contrary to all my pictures, I really did more as a Razorback than just party (though we can sure throw a party!)

I have not given up my love for the Razorbacks. This year will be quite interesting with Mizzou joining the SEC. J is a Mizzou fan, but I tell you our kids will be Razorbacks like I was.  I rock the Razorback debit and credit card, the trail hitch cover, a grill cover will be coming soon (to replace the Mizzou one), and numerous clothing attire.  And how many people can say they called the Hogs at their wedding??? Well I can!
