The tradition is said to have started in the 1920s when people attempted to encourage a Razorback football team that was losing.[3]The next home game produced a group who repeated the cheer often.[3]

The Hog call is not confined to Razorback Stadium, where it is used before every kickoff, and may be used in locales such as airports and hotels where Razorback fans unite.[2]
