The Porkers?

[iharfor]

Just watched the new SEC storied "Before they were Cowboys" and the hogs were mentioned several times as "the porkers". I've never heard that before. Was that a one off type thing or was that a common nickname back then?

Yes, it was fairly common in the 70s and before.

It was used the year the Hogs beat Bama by bunch in 98. Of course it was only in my head.

Porkers Pound Pachyderms 42-6.

During Broyles days, all the time. It was odd, most of the players were in such good shape with seeming 32' waists
ad we were known Nationally as "the quick little hogs". Now we have a real "bunch of real Porkers" that couldn't block
the Brady Bunch!

Common in the 60's. Began to fade in the 70's. Still remember the headline in the Tulsa World after Arkansas beat Texas 27-24 in Fayetteville in '65. The headline in all caps read "SOOOOOIE, PORKERS DID IT"

I didn't realize 19,000 posts on hogville was something to put on a resume.  The shame I bring to my family name.

I'm thinking of running for President. My post count qualifies me as much as the soon to be one.
