I Bleed Razorback Red
Another blog installment from our roving Fayetteville reporter and UA student, Antoinette Grajeda:
I Bleed Razorback Red
This is one of the phrases printed on a red shirt that you may encounter at a Razorback football game. As I enter my senior year at the University of Arkansas, I have attended a few home games and would like to share what I've learned:
• Hell hath no fury like a Razorback fan scorned.
If a referee makes a call that is not beneficial to the home team, he is wrong, always. Referees will know when they've made a bad call because they will be told by the fans, all 71,000 of them.
• Patience is a must.
There is a lot of waiting involved with a football game because there is a line for everything: a line to get in, a line to get out, a line to the concession stand and a line to the restroom.
• Polite conversation is unnecessary.
If you were worried about having to make polite conversation while waiting in these lines, don't be. Calling the Hogs has rendered these skills unnecessary. Don't know what that is? Simply turn to the nearest group of red shirts and ask. I'm sure they will be happy to demonstrate.
Even if you don't enjoy football, every student should attend at least one game because it is quite an experience. There's nothing like watching thousands of people cheering for a bunch of pigs.
