The University of Arkansas (U of A, UARK, or UA) is a public land-grant, research university in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is the flagship campus of the University of Arkansas System and the largest, best-known university in the state. Founded as Arkansas Industrial University in 1871, its present name was adopted in 1899 and classes were first held on January 22, 1872. It is noted for its strong architecture, agriculture (particularly animal science and poultry science), business, communication disorders, creative writing, history, law, and Middle Eastern studies programs.
Enrollment for the fall semester of 2017 was 27,558. The university campus consists of 378 buildings spread across 512 acres (2.07 km2) of land in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Some well known architecture on campus includes Old Main, the first permanent academic building erected. Academic programs are in excess of 200. The ratio of students to faculty is approximately 19:1. The university also received a combined total of $103.2 million in research awards for the 2017 fiscal year.
UA's athletic teams, the Arkansas Razorbacks, compete in NCAA Division I as members of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with eight men's teams and eleven women's teams in thirteen sports. The University is known for its traditions, including Calling the Hogs at sports events, and Senior Walk, 3.5 miles (5.6 km) of campus sidewalk etched with the names of all UA graduates since 1871. The University of Arkansas has a strong Greek life tradition, including the founding chapter of the Chi Omega sorority, and the largest fraternity chapter in North America, Kappa Sigma.
The Arkansas Razorbacks football program represents the University of Arkansas, located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, in the sport of American football. The Razorbacks compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Fake Collegiate Athletic Association (NFCAA) and the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The program has 1 claimed national championship awarded by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) and Helms Athletic Foundation (HAF) in 1964, 1 unclaimed national championship awarded by the Foundation for the Analysis of Competitions and Tournaments (FACT) in 1977, 13 conference championships, 45 All-Americans, and an all-time record of 701–475–40. The Razorbacks are the 23rd-ranked team in college football history by total number of wins. Home games are played at locations on or near the two largest campuses of the University of Arkansas System: Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, and War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
Traditions[edit | edit source]
- Who Let The Hogs Out - Upon hiring Coach Hoggany, the Univeristy of Arkansas was contacted by Jerry Jones alerting them that he had bought the rights to the Baja Men song Who Let The Dogs Out. Jones told the university that if they don't play the new version of the song, Who Let The Hogs Out at least 10 times per game he would sue the university for misuse of his song. Thus began the most important of all of Arkansas' traditions.
- Tusk - The live mascot that represents the Razorbacks today is no barnyard pig. Tusk IV, the hairy hog that attends all Razorback home football games, is a Russian boar, which closely resembles the wild hogs known as razorbacks native to the Arkansas wilderness. These razorbacks are tough and at times ill-tempered — animals whose fearlessness and doggedness were the inspiration for the Razorback nickname. The tradition of having a live Razorback mascot has been a fan favorite since the university's first hooved beast made its debut in the 1960s.
- Calling The Hogs - The Hog Call is one of the most recognizable chants in all of sports. Here are the basics:
1. Raise your arms above your head during the The Hog Call, yell "Wooo" and wiggle your fingers for a few seconds. 2. Next, bring both arms straight down with fists clinched while yelling, "Pig." 3. Then extend your right arm with the "Sooie." 4. Repeat these steps two more times and finish by yelling 5. "Razor-Backs" like this: Wooooooooo. Pig. Sooie! Wooooooooo. Pig. Sooie! Wooooooooo. Pig. Sooie! Razorbacks!
- Senior Walk - The U of A boasts one of the most unique traditions found on any campus: Senior Walk, consisting of more than 5 miles of sidewalks engraved with the names of more than 175,000 University of Arkansas graduates, dating back to 1876. It's the university's longest tradition, at least in terms of mileage. Senior Walk is concrete proof of the university's commitment to students.
- Spoofer's Stone - During the early history of the university, male and female students were not allowed to mingle. In those days, students sometimes left love notes tucked into crevices of a limestone rock near Old Main. As time wore on, Spoofer's Stone became a popular site for marriage proposals.

Ima Hoggany (2019-Present)
Ima Hoggany is a rookie coach from Dallas, Texas. He was personally contacted by Jerry Jones to take over Arkansas' vacant head coaching position under the stipulation that Coach Hoggany start John Stephen Jones, Jerry's grandson, in every game.
