In Syracuse, we call them the Razorbacks.

While my dear wife Karen and I poked our visiting eyes here and there during our vacation in Hot Springs, Ark., I expected to find gear for the state’s big college squad.

Back home in Syracuse, I’m accustomed to the media calling the SEC team representing Arkansas the Razorbacks.

The TV news called their updates the Pig Trail.

I was interested in the devotion, of course, being a Maryland Terrapin alumni living among Syracuse Orange territory.
