There's more than just one game going on at War Memorial.
Football and politics have something in common. They are both contact sports. The real passion in War Memorial, though, is for the Razorbacks.
Candidates from both sides of the political divide were at the stadium handing out water and cooling the fans, as well as grilling up some grub to keep them happy.
The one thing that unites Arkansas Democrats and Republicans is the love of the Razorbacks.
Fan Juliette Taylor says, "Absolutely, yeah. They've got more spirit and they are really in there for the Hogs and the SEC, you know."
Arkansas may become a red state, but it is red for one reason only -- the Razorbacks. KARK 4's Jonathan Athens will have more on this story Saturday night at 10.
