Better Know A CWS Team: The Arkansas Fighting Razorpigs

The School: The University of Arkansas, formerly known as Arkansas Industrial University. Its motto is Veritate Duce Progredi, Latin for “To Advance with Truth as our Leader.” A strange motto for a school in a state that advanced with Bill Clinton as its leader for 12 years.

Location: Fayetteville, Arkansas. An otherwise unobjectionable town that unfortunately has (according to Wikipedia) chosen to call itself “The Athens of the Ozarks.” This is roughly the same as Knoxville slapping itself with the moniker “The Paris of East Tennessee,” a designation that, while technically correct, mostly just serves as a reminder that the towns surrounding Knoxville are somehow even worse.
