An Arkansas football fan flashes a downward hook 'em sign during the Razorbacks' 38-28 victory over Texas on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2003, in Austin, Texas.
Maybe there is no explaining it.
Maybe you had to live it.
Arkansas Razorback fans wanted to beat Texas more than any other team in the country.
For Hog callers, it was an unrivaled rivalry. What made it even more sensitive was the Razorbacks were third, at best, on UT’s hierarchy or disdain.
The T-sippers had a natural in-state rivalry with Texas A&M, and they had the annual Red River Shootout with Oklahoma.
