After the Arkansas Razorbacks dominated the Tennessee Volunteers, head coach Sam Pittman made a powerful statement to the world, emphasizing the pride and identity of his football program. “Calling the Hogs to the world is what we do,” Pittman said. “This win isn’t just about one game, it’s about the toughness, heart, and pride that we stand for at Arkansas.”
Pittman, known for his straightforward style, made it clear that the victory wasn’t a fluke but a result of relentless hard work. “Our players have fought all year. Every practice, every snap, they’ve been grinding to get better, and tonight we showed what it means to be a Razorback,” he stated confidently. “We dominated a great football team in Tennessee, but we’re just getting started. There’s a lot more football to be played.”
In his post-game remarks, Pittman acknowledged the significance of beating a high-profile SEC opponent like Tennessee. “Anytime you can beat a program like Tennessee, it’s a statement. Not just to our fans, but to the whole country,” he said. “Our guys went out there, executed our game plan, and didn’t let up. We had some big plays, we controlled the line of scrimmage, and our defense stepped up when it mattered.”
Pittman also credited the fans, who “Called the Hogs” with passion both in the stadium and around the country. “Our fans are second to none,” he said. “When we’re out there and hear those Hog calls, it gives us energy. It’s a tradition that’s unique to Arkansas, and it’s part of who we are.”
In closing, Pittman emphasized that Arkansas football is on the rise. “We’re building something special here. This is just the beginning, but I want everyone to know that Arkansas is a force to be reckoned with in the SEC. We’re going to keep getting better, and we’re not backing down from anyone.”
The win over Tennessee sent a clear message that Arkansas under Sam Pittman is a program that’s not only proud of its heritage but also ready to take on any challenge ahead. The Razorbacks are here to compete, and they’re doing it with passion, grit, and pride.
