Game Prep - From The hollar

[HillBillyHogfan]

Hey man, if that other goob can have an article on here, then so can I.  Welcome to my column.

I thought it would be good to share a little of my hillbilly wisdom and advise here.  I know my knowledge will be lacking and I respect all feedback. 

This season will make 30 years of attending hog games for me and I have been a fan since birth.  As an Ozarkian and class of 1999 alumn I hope to share a little of my hog experience. 

Today's post... preparing to attend a hog game... or simply "Game Prep"

There are a few things that you need to know before attending a hog game. 

#1 Pay attention to the weather.  If the game is in Fayetteville then there are a few rules of thumb you need to know. If the predicted temp is over 80 then plan for it to be 10 degrees hotter.  If the temp is below 70 then plan for 10 degrees cooler.  Dress in layers, you can always remove clothes if you get too hot.

 

If the game is in little rock then don't worry about the cold.  There will be a fat chick from south-east Arkansas that will be more than happy to     keep you warm.

#2  Make sure you are properly hydrated.  I prefer the banquet beer on game day, it comes from a rocky mountain stream so you know there is water in it. 

#3  Find an old short bus and weld a smoker to it... then drive that sumbee to the game.  Have some pork ready to throw in the smoker.  Some opposing fans think they are insulting us by eating pig on game day, this couldn't be further from the truth. We love pig here in Arkansas, especially when it is slow cooked over wood smoke.



#4  If you are planning the trip to Little Rock, map your route as to avoid North Little Rock, East Little Rock, South Little Rock and Southwest Little rock.... this will keep you safe.  The rest of little rock is a pretty nice city.

#5  Start practicing the hog call now... the "aawooooo" hog call is a disease that has affected many, don't let it get you next.

Well, thats about it for now... please add any advise you may have as well.

I did as well. More than I could ever say about that other goob which publishes a so called weekly column.

Thanks Hilbilly! That was much more entertaining, better writing and relevant than everything that other goob writes.

But it had a little bit of Bleacher Report feel with the pics, so I'm going with a thumbs up

Then again, now I'll have to figure out how to get rid of herpes

This was way better than From the Bench, and marginally better than From the Beach.
