The Day the Hoggies died April 04, 2007, 10:37:48 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A long, long time ago... I can still remember How the Hoggies used to make me smile. And I knew if we had our chance We Corey Beck in a defensive stance That maybe we'd be Champions for awhile But they gave Nolan the cold shiver When he stopped to deliver. lawsuit on the doorstep; Frank could take one more step. I can’t remember if I cried When I read about his wounded pride, But something touched me deep inside The day the Hoggies died. He was singing, "bye-bye, Razorback pride." Bought my tickets to Bud Walton, but it was empty inside. So I sat down sunk my head and I cried saying this is the day the Hogs died. This is the day the Hogs died. Did you see 40 minutes hell, did you buy all the PTB had to sell, Just because Rick told you so? Do you believe in good defense, A football coach with common sense, and the fact that you reap what you sow? Well, I know Frank is in love with Jim but cant we find an AD better than him? Hey turn it to ESPNEWS! It's more Arkansas blues! A football coach by the name of Houston Nutt who couldnt move the ball with a pickup truck, even he knew he had found some luck The day the Hoggies died He was singing, "bye-bye, Razorback pride." Bought my tickets to Bud Walton, but it was empty inside. So I sat down sunk my head and I cried saying this is the day the Hogs died. This is the day the Hogs died. Now for twelve years we won our own national title with Corillis Williamson, its just not how it used to be. When Scotty Thurman would come off the screen, and catch a pass and bury the three amid Hog calls that came from you and me, Oh, but while Nolan was looking down, Old Frank stole his thorny crown. The bridges they were burned; Then things took a wrong turn. Soon things went off the mark, we had lost our Crazy Joe Clark, left with a team with no passion or spark The day the Hoggies died He was singing, "bye-bye, Razorback pride." Bought my tickets to Bud Walton, but it was empty inside. So I sat down sunk my head and I cried saying this is the day the Hogs died. This is the day the Hogs died. with recuiting pressure Nutt started to swelter. So he found him some Springdale shelter, 8 and 1 and rising fast. but he must have started smoking some grass Casey threw another incomplete pass, and the offense went back to the hated past. Now after the season there was sour perfume Houston tried to direct a tune. he said it was circumstance, but Mustain never got a chance! `cause the players tried to take the field; The old Houston he refused to yield. Do you recall what was revealed The day the Hoggies died? We started singing, "bye-bye, Razorback pride." Bought my tickets to Bud Walton, but it was empty inside. So I sat down sunk my head and I cried saying this is the day the Hogs died. This is the day the Hogs died. Oh, and there we were all in one place, A Razorback Nation lost in space With no time left to start again. So come on: White be nimble, White be quick! Frank is getting old and sick and Rick is his only friend Oh, and as I watched him on the stage In a hurry to head back Augusta way He had worked a little for a spell oh but he forgot to sell! And as Heath ran off into the night Altman figured something was just not right, I saw the SEC laughing with delight The day the Hoggies died He was singing, "bye-bye, Razorback pride." Bought my tickets to Bud Walton, but it was empty inside. So I sat down sunk my head and I cried saying this is the day the Hogs died. This is the day the Hogs died. I turned the tv to ESPNEWS for some explanation of how we got screwed, But I just sighed and turned away. after I saw the Florida score reminiscent of the Hogs years before, Man those Razorbacks sure could play. And on the web: the fans they screamed, Randy cried, and Rick Shaffer dreamed. But not a word was spoken; The Hog spirit it was broken. And amid the nations laughter: and not thinking about what he would do after, Frank caught the last plane to the Masters The day the hoggies died. He was singing, "bye-bye, Razorback pride." Bought my tickets to Bud Walton, but it was empty inside. So I sat down sunk my head and I cried saying this is the day the Hogs died. This is the day the Hogs died.
