Arkansas Razorbacks, Chicago Chapter

Hog fans! The time has finally (almost) arrived. As Ryan Mallett said, GET READY! I don't think I'm alone in saying I'm excited about this year. Mallett and the Hogs are primed for big things. Join us for our first watch party of the year next saturday, September 4. Gametime is at 6, come early and grab a seat for the show!

Note that we are meeting at Messner's for every game this year. Messner's is excited to have us, and we will be working with them to improve the game watching experience. If you're unsure which bar it is, look for the big red Arkansas flag flying outside!

Come call the hogs with us, and wear RED!

Specials: $4 20oz drafts, $10 pitchers
