Woo, pig sooey.

Story from Saturday at the CWS ...

We walked into the stadium and immediately noticed the giant contingent of Arkansas fans. And of course they're all standing, waving their arms doing that damn hog call.

"Woooooooooo. Pig sooey!"

Had a good laugh remembering how uncomfortable Dana Altman looked at the press conference when he was introduced as the Razorbacks' basketball coach back in 2007.

Later on, Mom and Dad are killing some time between games, having a beer at the house-formerly-known-as-the-Stander-residence (Ron's gone now). Guess who walks up the street? It's Dana!

Dad doesn't miss a beat.

"Hey there, Dana. I'm surprised you weren't here for the first game today to see the Razorbacks."

He's joking of course, but he said Altman just froze. I'm sure he was half confused ("Who IS this guy?") and half horrified ("Arkansas ... huh? ... HEY!")

"I'm just kidding, Coach. We're glad you decided to come back to Omaha."

I just wish they would have offered Altman a beer. A couple Bud Lights and who knows, maybe he would have done the hog call again.
