How old were you at your first hog game?

[bythelake]

First game was in 1964 or so when martine bercher  played.  I was around 6 years old.  We made the trip from Blytheville.  My dad graduated in 1958.  He made sure that us 3 sons made it to the tunnel to see the hogs.  Dang, I'm old but still remember.  BTW, I graduated in 1981 and 82 with the same degree as my dad, civil engineering.

12 years old. Arkansas vs Rice in 1990. We sat on the [CENSORED] in the end zone. The Hogs lost that night, but QG threw a TD pass that was caught right in front of us. I think it was Todd Wright who kicked a 50 yd field goal. Hogs lost 19-11 if I remember correctly.

1971 Joe Ferguson hung 60+ on North Texas State.  I was 14.  There was a better game in Little Rock the week before...

Ferguson to Reppond over and over in the rain.  Still one of my favorite Hog memories (no, not against NTSU).

Good genes.  This is my great, great grandfather's grave in Mississippi.  He lived 114 years.



Just found this.  Kinda neat. Thought I'd share.  Sorry for derail.

that's amazing Ponder spanning the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Just think of all the historical people and events during that period.

Glad you left the "Hung for Horse Thievin' " off the tombstone..

That's pretty cool, Pondering.

Out of curiosity, was Martha his wife?

88 Years of age difference would be as remarkable as being 114.

Heh.  More likely a grand daughter.

[LZH]

I was there too.   That was awesome.   Lou Holtz is quoted as saying, I think to Johnny Carson, "I guess it's a good thing we weren't going to the Gator bowl"...

Ha! He sure did....I forgot about that.

[LZH]

See reply #2.

Good job cuz, good job.....

That's 1834.  Only 38 years difference.  Sounds reasonable... 

[razorbackfan4life]

I believe I was 7 or 8.

My friend's cousin was Todd Latourette(yes that fellow)  We sat in the south end zone. 

We went to the Florida game.  We got smoked.  That's all I remember. 

[razorbackmarine]

Mine was 1979 Arkansas at Texas Tech.  I was 5 ye old.
Thanksgiving weekend, family reunion, my whole family were all TTU alums (including my Grandma), but we had just moved to NWA and had adopted the Hogs...

[Tripod1]

1957, I was 7 and it was Rice in LR.  We won 3-0. Mikey Cissell kicked the winner.

[moses_007]

Saw my first game in 1959 at age 14.  Arkansas beat TCU, 3-0, at War Memorial in Little Rock.

[KevinOMReb]

Oklahoma St in LR.  1977.  Moved to Arkansas in 1976. 

[Shoat61]

Moses...I think your memory may be of the game the week before against Oklahoma A&M (OSU now) in Little Rock.  The Hogs beat TCU 3-0 in 1959 at Fayetteville a week later.  It rained all day and neither team could score a TD.  That was a great year and totally unexpected given the record the previous year.

[BudWhite]

I'm not sure what year it was or who we played. Probably late seventies. My family went to Little Rock, Holtz was the coach then. My Mom & Dad were at the 69 game. My Mom is from California, and she didn't care about the Razorbacks until then.

Looks like 1884- go Gramps

There may be snow on the roof, but there's still fire in the furnace!

[hoggusamoungus]

I was 7 when my dad, who attended the first game at WMS in 1948 and still has season tickets today, took me to the 1967 Kansas State game.  My oldest son saw his first game at age 8 in 1997 against Peyton Manning and UT while my youngest son saw his first game at 7 in Lexington in 1999.

[paul hog]

My first game was in 1964 Wichita State.  Hogs won 17-0.  It was the first of five shutouts in a row to finish the regular season.  I was 14 years old.

USC ended up 10-1 and National Champ with only loss to Arkansas!

1 1/2
Arkansas @ Auburn in 1996
Don't remember it too well

[Hoot72]

I had turned 13 about two weeks before, and I will never forget Arkansas beating Donny Anderson and Texas Tech, November 23, 1963.  Yes, that was the day after JFK had been shot in Dallas.

[Birminghog]

5 years old - 1960 TCU game in Ft. Worth. Don't remember it, but my mom tells me that we had a second floor room with a balcony. She locked the door to the balcony when we went to bed because I tended to sleepwalk.

Might have been taken to a game in LR prior to that, but this is the first one that my parents used to talk about, I guess because it was a trip and we didn't take that many trips.

[Michael D Huff AIA]

I was 3 years old and the game was in Fayetteville with my grandparents.  This would have been 1977 and I don't remember who we played, but I do remember how loud it was and the color red all over the place.

Fast forward almost 30 years and I took my son to his first game when he was 3.  My grandfather was with us (granny passed away 5 years prior), so we had three generations of my family watching the Hogs.

Oh, and we were in the same seats we sat in at that game in 1977.  Those tickets will never leave our family.

[DoctorSusscrofa]

I was 10 on January 1, 1970, when I entered Tulane Stadium and saw my Hogs the first time in the Sugar Bowl versus Ole Miss and Archie Manning.  Montgomery, Dicus, Burnett, and McClard didn't pull it out that day, but I was hooked.

[SamBuckhart]

22 years old. LR. Bill "Pat" Patterson gave me 4 Tickets to NM State 9-10-1977. We won 53-10.  Great fun.

I'm a few months younger than you Sam, I didn't turn 22 till that November.

You are still a young pup. Two of my sons are tailgating with their families this weekend. Their first one. Cant wait to hear their stories. They live in Eldo area. Are you going to the game, Guv?

[chaislip84]

1st Arkansas Red/White Game when I was 4 months old (1985).  Kenny Hatfield kissed me on the forehead and told my mother it was my immunization against Longhorns.  Had season tickets (Fayetteville) starting when I was 3 (1988 season.)  Graduated from the U of A and worked with the football team during my freshmen and sophomore years.  Haven't been to a game in Arkansas since 2007, (living in Florida), but have been to several away/bowl games.  Miss the atmosphere @ Fayetteville.
