FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — For the first time since 2006, ESPN's College GameDay crew, led by Rece Davis, headed to the Hill for the premier college basketball pre-game show, and of course the fans brought their best signs.
From the classic Woo Pig and Hogs by 90, all the way to poking fun at the Kentucky Derby and the SEC referees, the fans were hyped up to be at the Bud.
"We got you know, we got a lot of people here, ready to cheer on these hogs. I love being a Razorback and these folks got me covered that's all we do. We support our team. I never would have thought I'd be part of College GameDay experience. I'm really excited to be here," one Hog fan said.
Although the analysts picked Kentucky across the board to get the win, they were also happy to be at such a premier location for College Basketball.
"Can I say how happy I am to be in Bud Walton Arena. I remember when I was 13 years old, already 13 years old trying to go in my backyard and imitate the shot heard around Arkansas," analyst Jay Williams said on the show.
"We're excited, I'm excited for the game. So, I'm excited, I'm excited to be here," GameDay analyst Seth Greenberg added.
The environment was electric from start to finish, from a fan almost winning $19,000 off a half-court shot to an appearance by Coach Musselman himself. This one will be remembered at the Bud for years to come.
