Series question - you are driving in Dallas

[NorthDallas40]

Or some other place outside Arkansas and you see a car with a Hog logo on it. You want to get their attention to tell them you are a Hog can too. Once you get it, what's the best way to communicate your fandom to them? After all, we don't have a hand signal and that goofy diamond thing never took off?

[Inhogswetrust]

I pass them so they will see my HOG plate.......................

[Tick Hog]

 Well if you were around Dallas I would give a down longhorn sign followed by 3 fist pumps. If they were any fan at all they would get the point.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Yes by all means communicate with hand gestures while driving. Especially in areas like Dallas and Atlanta.

Might I suggest a safer alternative?

First be absolutely sure they are Razorback fans because think how embarrassing it would be if they aren't. Best way to do this is to follow them very closely. Get right up on their bumper to make sure those are Hog emblems. Also try to ensure that it is officially licensed gear. Real fans only buy items with the CLC seal so they know part of their overpayment goes to the school

Now that you have determined they are real fans it's time to communicate your support.  Hand gestures are dangerous because they might think you are flipping them off throwing a gang sign or trying to use sign language. If they think it is sign language they may become distracted from driving trying to interpret what you are saying

Most important thing now before driving is making sure your car has easily recognizable officially licensed gear too. First while still right behind them honk your horn. This is the audio signal that says hey I want to show you something. Next speed up pass them quickly and then pull right in front of them. This will help make sure they see your stuff. You may want to slow down while in front of them to give them plenty of time to figure out hey this is a Hog fan too. The signal back from them should be the honking of their horn. Once this occurs pull back over into the other lane and slow down so you are now driving side by side. Look over at them give a complimentary head nod and smile. Don't worry about people behind you needing to pass. They will see Razorback stuff on both vehicles and completely understand. Who knows they may get right behind you and start honking and you know what that means

[ricepig]

Just run up and tap their back bumper with your front bumper, when you pull over to exchange insurance cards, say WPS!

[Hogfaniam]

"You series, Clark?"

J/k had to do it.

I just hit my HogHorn.  It plays the fight song.

[Oklahoma Diamond Hog]

I never drive ANYWHERE without my hog hat on! :razorback:

I just ignore 'em as I am a yankee now.

"Hog on board"

I roll down the window and flash my Petit Jean ham.

[BPsTheMan]

I've done similar at gas stations or whatever in Georgia and Alabama, and they've always been Hog fans with their nose in the air acting like you're stupid for saying hello to a fellow fan

Do you drive a clunker?

[ImHogginIt]

Do you drive a clunker?

I bet he does. We here in luxurious Collin County, TX don't want to be seen associating with poor white trash. We don't want our neighbors snickering at us.

[BPsTheMan]

was driving a '99 Explorer then

I never buy anything brand new

so I must have come up on some materialistic folks you're saying?

Reminds me of Thursday afternoon when we were leaving Birmingham following SEC Media Days. We were greeted with several hand gestures from what I assume were Alabama or Auburn fans.

The only suitable reply would not have been prudent since we were traveling in a Suburban wrapped in Razorback Nation logos.

[secfan30]

I always say "how about them Hogs" or "woo pig Sooie".

[ImHogginIt]

And if you do stop by my A&M tailgate please don't give anyone an open mouth smile and try and dress well. Perhaps have on your Sunday go to meeting. Thanks

Prolly. Don't let them stop you from acknowledging fellow Hog fans!

[thesmalltownhog95]

Had the same thing happen to me recently at Pensacola beach. One of my buddies blared the horn while the other pumped his fist and yelled out the window as I waved my hat out the window. We got a honk back followed by some hollering back at us.

Whenever I'm down that way folks pretty much already know where I'm from.

[Magic_Hogg]

I see Hog stuff so often in DFW that I have stopped trying to get anyone's attention.  That is just me. 

[Wildhog]

Can't wait for the next question in this series.

[BPsTheMan]

Can't wait for the next question in this series.

let's not be pissing off North Dallas Forty, shall we..

Yeah, there's something I care about...

I don't drive in Dallas.

Is this you, RallyPuppy? Where's your Hog bumper sticker? For that matter, where's your bumper?

No, that would be me.

Bastard.

[PorkerOinker]

I guess I have never really worried about letting the other person know I am a Hog fan, not sure why they would care.

[lefty08]

I prefer parallel questions myself.....

The Razorbacks are very important to me, sure... but if I'm driving in Dallas, I'm a helluva lot more worried about other things than the Hogs. Just saying

I would rather drive anywhere in Dallas than the clusterfricks in Ark along I-40 or in West LR

That vehicle has Alabama plates.

It has to be.

[Inhogswetrust]

Good thing it isn't your salami...................................................you could get arrested.

[Inhogswetrust]

If it were an aggie vehicle it would have been facing out the window the other direction...............................................

You need to get out of the house more, I-35 Waco to San Antonio is far worse than anything in Arkansas history of poor road management.


I don't try to get people's attention on the road very often but when I do it's the Air Horn!

[mckinneyhog5]

Amen to that!

I suspect it was the standard "1" finger gesture......they were just letting you know their "IQ".  Those were just the average fans for that area.  The smart ones, will have an  IQ of 4 or 5....& will hand gesture with 4 or 5 fingers....
