owh owh owh wooo pig sooie. this needs to stop now!

[aredwolfrazorback]

I am a student here. I remember the 94 championship game like it was yesterday and I was in the fourth grade. I go to every game, read this forum, and today I decided to make an account because this needs to be addressed.

For some reason, some students have begun to make a wolf sound like owh owhhh (sp?) right before the woooo pig sooie.

I noticed it during the beginning of the football season, but now more and more people are doing it because either: (A) they think its cute or (B) they do not know any better.

Yes I graduated from ASU, but I came here to be a Razorback. I'll go back to Jonesboro if I want to do a wolf call.

Maybe I am overreacting, but if more and more people keep doing this the new students that come in every year are going to think that that is acceptable and its how you are supposed to call the hogs.

I know I am just one man and I cannot do anything except whine about this to you on these boards.

But if you ask me, some traditions need to be preserved.

Thanks for the opportunity to vent.

Wooooooooo Pig Sooie!
Go Hogs.

Great observation.  That is very annoying.  But what do you expect out of a group that wants our football team to start wearing black jerseys.

Good point.  I don't care for it either.

This isn't a new thing... that sound has been going on since at least 2002 when I started at UA.  I think it goes back even further.  It's dumb but I think its here to stay.  I've even seen players on the football team do it.

Houston Nutt didn't want black jerseys either.

After 11+ years, you may have found something he did right.

[Pigmund Freud]

I agree. I hate it. It adds nothing to the Hog Call.

[RZRBack_FAN]

You can thank bubbahog for that! He thinks it's cute!!

I'm glad the university has done their best to shut him up!!

[no3putts]

man I have been thinking the same thing. Where did it start. Its like it gets more pronounced every year. The call did not use to sound that way. What's next a oink oink at the end

When they call the hogs on the Razorback Marching Band CD I bought 6 years ago it is there as well. Seems to me that possibly the spirit groups may have got it started.

I remember hearing some cheerleaders do it back during the '02 and '03 seasons. 

[aredwolfrazorback]

my humble opinion is that it may have started because some people couldn't hit the high pitch of the woooo.

if you kind of drop your voice a little its easy to find that little niche where you can hit a higher note.

and it just went on from there...

oh well

Well, now I DO want black jerseys!

Threaten to raise tuition another 20% unless they stop and do it right 

Heck I think that's what they raise tuition every year anyway.

[MJ4H]

It was being done at least as far back as 96 or so.  I vividly remember some band members (definitely a select few) doing it then when I was in the group.

[Doyle Hograves]

It's gay.

[BigHog396]

It started around 94/95.  I was a freshman our NC year, and it seems like it started some time in the middle of that year.

[Ash]

I've heard it from the spirit groups. It is annoying and out of place.

[HogCard]

I totally agree with everyone, it is gay and should stop.  I will add one more.

Our cheer is Wooooo Pig Sooie.  It is not ahewwwwww  pig sooie.  Hard to do with letters but the band and others do not even pronounce woo anymore, it is almost like ewww with a very pronounced high pitched squeak at the beginning.  Why can't we just leave traditions alone and say Woooo Pig Sooie with no bark in between and no squeak in Wooo.

[hillhog]

I agree, it is lame. I would vote that anyone that does that stupid call be banned from attending games in person then they could show their ignorance and do the sick dog yowll in front of their tv. Please get rid of it.

[trippigs]

I don't like it either and tell folks whenever the proper opportunity comes up.
