THE CENTENNIAL rkansas wasn ' t always the home of the Hogs. In fact, before a certain football victory in October 1909, the Arkansas Cardinals were the pride and joy of sports fans across the state. But following their 16-0 stomping of LSU, head coach Hugo Bezdek dubbed his players a wild band of razorback hogs, and the nickname stuck. In 1910 the student body made the name change permanent with an official vote, and in the 1920s, the instantly recognizable Wooo . . . Pig! SOOIE! was added as the spirited school cheer. [razorback sports] ♦ One of the oldest athletic traditions at the University is football. The teams have won two SWC championships and 11 bowl games. In 1964, the Hogs captured the school ' s only national football championship. In 1966, the Hogs were first seen in color on NBC. Arkansas is one of few schools with its home games divided between two cities: Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville and War Memorial in Little Rock.

The Lady Razorback program grew to include everything from basketball and tennis to soccer and track. In recent years, softball, volleyball and golf teams have been added to the list.

♦ In the Southwestern Conference (SWC), the men ' s basketball team was the first to bring home a championship (1924). Since then the hoopster Hogs have won close to 20 SWC titles and two Southeastern Conference (SEC) championships. Arkansas athletics joined the SEC in 1991. In 1994, the Razorback men defeated Duke to become the NCAA national champions. [At left, Razorback Corey Beck celebrates the team ' s win in 1994] ♦ The Razorback track team has won its share of national titles — 28 to be exact. In 1983, the team became the first in SWC history to win the triple crown (NCAA championships in cross country, indoor and outdoor track within the same year). Combined, the three squads have also taken home almost 30 SWC titles and nine SEC championships. [Above, a Razorback Olympian track star from 1985]
