From the good old days of sold out crowds at Bud Walton Arena, it seemed that everyone liked the ol’ Slobberin’ Hog that adorned the floor at center court.
Everyone except for Jeff Long.
Now, a petition at Change.Org is being passed around the blogosphere, and as of Sunday night there were at least 3,051 people that want to bring the former logo back to the floor.
Maybe the description goes a little far in placing the blame on the now former athletic director? Maybe not?
“He felt as if Slobbering Hog was more loved than he was by Arkansas Razorback fans which made him extremely jealous. So, he hatched a plan to remove the beloved icon from the floor of Bud Walton Arena, and was able to do so against the pleas of thousands of Hog fans and the crying of little children everywhere.” the petition claimed. “Now that Jeff Long is no longer in charge of the Arkansas Razorbacks, Slobbering Hog needs to be returned to his rightful place at center court of Bud Walton Arena. The new Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek needs to make this a top priority.”
We will see if Hunter Yurachek bows to the pressure of Slobberin’ Hog’s supporters.
