Hogs Near & Far

Since moving from the beautiful South and getting a job in DC, football season has changed for me. I'm lucky to make it down for 2 games/season, and I love every minute I'm home. However, when I can't afford a plane ticket to AR, I am comforted to know there is a Razorback Watch Party here in DC. Every Saturday, Arkansans get together at our "home bar" Penn Quarter Sports Tavern to yell Wooo Pig Sooie! We arrive early to claim our section, buy our discounted pitchers of beer, sport our favorite red t-shirts, clap loud enough for the players to hear us, and even go out to celebrate a W as if we were on Dickson. Some of us work on Capitol Hill for the AR Senators and Congressmen so we prepare for the watch party all week. Our group grows every season with new interns and fresh graduates hoping to find a job. The age of attendees ranges from 18-65 with long time fans who call Arkansas home. We even invite non Hog fans in successful attempts to teach them the Hog Call and how to bash HDN. Often times we have to share the same floor at the bar with other SEC fans including UGA and Ole Miss - - this just means we have to yell louder to show em whose Boss. DC Gal on the Fly will be bringing you updates on attendance, crazy stories from after the games, and even watch party pictures. See this video for Q and Stan's celebration after the Auburn win:
