Note its aggressive nature and sharp, nasty teeth. This basically is one mean pig. * Sidney Moncrief: The best basketball player to come out of the state. If Clinton argues for Todd Day, tell them Day has a lot of playing to do to match Moncrief's NBA career total of 11,931. * PIG SOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!: If you hear this , don't call the police. It's only the battle cry of Razorbacks fans. One question, though. Take another look at the mean pig above. Why should anyone want to beckon this thing? * Barnhill arena: This is the 9,000-seat arena where Arkansas has a great home-court advantage. But when the school joined the South-eastern Conference, they realized Barnhill was about the size of a barn and decided to build 17,700-seat Bud Walton Arena in time for the 1993-94 season. * Barnhill South: This is Reunion Arena in Dallas, where Arkansas fans controlled about 90 percent of the tickets for the Southwest Conference tournament. Fans from the other SWC schools used to say Arkansas fans were drawn to Reunion because it gave them an excuse to get out of the state. * Dallas Cowboys: Although coach Jimmy Johnson is known for coaching at the University of Miami and employing many of his former players from that school, Johnson and team owner Jerry Jones were co-captains on the 1964 Arkansas football team. * 1964: This is when the Razorbacks went 11-0 and won the national football title. The Arkansas media guide doesn't mention that the claim for the title was backed by the old Grantland Rice Poll; the Associated Press and UPI chose Alabama as national champion.
