What's in a Name?

Whats-in-a-name

Honestly, a lot and a little at the same time.

From converted school buses to a two-story inflatable dome, to a trailer with a draft pull and indoor toilet, the Razorback faithful really know how to put on a show. The only thing more impressive than their rigs was their boundless hospitality and Arkansas pride. After a few hours, I lost count of how many people offered to feed me and let me enjoy their tailgate....
