One of my favorite memories is during Nutt’s first season, after the Hogs went 9-0 but before the Stumble Fumble. I was in undergrad at ‘Nam at the time and I’ll never forget what my roomate’s dad, a Razorback alum, said the Saturday night we won number 9: “You guys will always remember this season. You’ll define this time in your life as the year the Hogs went 9 and 0.” So true.

I can’t mention favorites without including the 28-24 redemption over Tennessee in Fayetteville. I was on the field tearing the goal posts down wearing a camelback that used to be full of whiskey. It also just so happened that a friend of mine who lived 3 blocks from Dickson was throwing a keg party that night. Needless to say, what a night!

Another favorite is the only true road game I’ve ever been to (unless you count my least favorite, see below). My girlfriend at the time, now wife, lived in Mississippi and scored tickets to the Ole Miss game in Oxford. My first road game; we tailgated with friends at the grove and sat in the middle of Rebel fans. Little did I know that would turn out to be the 7OT thriller. By the 5th overtime, we and the Rebel fans around us were saying hey, if you guys win that’ll be fine, much respect. It was great. Especially when we won and didn’t have to hear that freakin’ hotty toddy bologny anymore.

My least favorite is arguably another road game that I went to. Not officially a road game, the Las Vegas Bowl versus UNLV was obviously pretty close. Regardless, Hog fans seemed to outnumber UNLV fans and I still think very few people in Vegas give a hoot about that team. Which made that loss even more painful. My most vivid memories are of the few UNLV fans there. They really seemed to be people who had no connection to UNLV, but had come from an all night gambling bender just to heckle the losing team, whoever that might be. Or, maybe that’s just how UNLV fans roll. Lots of inappropriate comments and a couple of near fights in our section really capped off this trip for me and my parents. I just couldn’t believe that the football gods had let this undeserving non-football town have its way with my beloved Hogs.

Gotta agree on Tennessee. I was at that game with my dad, and there’s nothing quite like watching your first set of goal posts come down.

Solid list other than that, though. Worst moments is maybe missing that Matt Jones fumble against Texas in ’02.

My favorite wins:
1. Arkansas LSU 2007
2. Combination of both Arkansas wins over Texas
3. Arkansas LSU 2002
4. Arkansas Kentucky 2003
5. Arkansas Tennessee 1999

Worst Losses:
1. Tenesse Arkansas 1998.
2. The combination of losses to Florida and to Auburn in 2003, when the season seemed to have started so amazingly well. I still blame the refs.
3. Arkansas Alabama 2007, there was never a worst moment for me, I went from the highest of high to the lowest of low in only a matter of seconds. It still hurts to remember that amazing comeback only to be lost in the final seconds.
4. Arkansas LSU 2006, If ever there was a time that we actually might play for the NC were crushed, I still blame Nutt for putting the game in Dick’s arm in the final minutes when there was plenty of time to give DMac and Jones the ball.
5. USC Arkansas 2006 I didnt think it would happen two years in a row

To the loss category, I would add two games from 2002, the SEC Championship game, which I watched with a stranger, but an Arkansas alumnus, so not really a stranger, in a bar in Nashville full of Georgia fans, uggh, and the Music City Bowl that followed. I was there for that too. Talk about a swift decline in the Hogs’s fortunes, for we had just been on the Miracle on Markham mountain top.

Other good wins that I would include would be the bowl game win in Shreveport. Yeah, it was Shreveport, but it was still a bowl win, which we all know how rare that is. And I would include the win over Tennessee when Gameday came to Fayetteville. I was thinking that it would be soooooo Arkansas for them to lose that game as they were on front and center stage that day in the college football world. Going against type, they actually put a wildhog whooping on the Vols. I am glad we got them to visit us, or Vanderbilt would now be able to say that they have hosted College Gameday and we haven’t. That would be embarassing!

My range of Razorback memories is considerably shorter than the other posters. I was never really a Razorback fan until I stepped on campus the fall of ‘05, and that was hardly a good season to become a Hog fan (especially with the loss to Vandy). My favorite games from the HDN era were the 2006 Alabama game, 2007 South Carolina game, and of course, 2007 LSU. I was sick during the 2006 Tennessee game, and I didn’t watch the 2006 Auburn game because I had become accustomed to the 2005 Hogs. Least favorite games were 2007 Alabama, 2007 Tennesse, 2006 LSU, and both USC games. 2005 USC was a lost cause, but I always wished we’d gotten a shot at USC at the end of the 2006 season, when D-Mac was at full speed and Robert Johnson wasn’t at QB, instead of the beginning.

The only game I’d change is subbing in the Tony-Bua-on-Chris-Leak Florida loss for the UNLV bowl loss.

For me it would have to be the Miracle on Markham – LSU in 2002. I’d come up to the Big LR for Thanksgiving – went with my half-blind 80 year old grandfather in what would turn out to be his last Hog game.

We sat in the South End Zone, about 10 rows up. All we saw on that last play was Jones heaving the ball in our direction – between the bad angle and the people standing up, we couldn’t see Birmingham. We had to wait for the crowd reaction…then the place just went crazy.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen my grandfather happier – he even said that if that was his last Hog game he’d die a happy man. Turned out to be true, but what a game.
