A new tradition in the making? Omahogs Walk brings fans into the celebration

The University of Arkansas is filled with tradition. From the Hog call to running through the 'A' in football to the beer hats with bases loaded in baseball, it's hard to find room for any traditions to bloom. But after this weekend's Super Regional victory, a new one may have started.

The Omahogs Walk a new tradition in the making?

When the team finished celebrating on the field, which included an ice water bath for head coach Dave Van Horn but no dog pile, the team took the celebrations to a new level, including the fans in the stands. Wehiwa Aloy led the charge, taking the Super Regional trophy through the seats and up to the concourse. There, a line of Diamond Hogs paraded through the stadium, high-fiving anyone and everyone they could on the way to the Hog Pen.

Thankfully, the entire thing was captured by the Arkansas media team, and they even gave it a name: The Omahogs Walk.

The fun didn't stop there. After celebrating in the Hog Pen, the team jumped the fence to access the pond north of the J.B. and Johnelle Hunt Family Baseball Development Center, colloquially known as Lake Norm after former Razorback baseball coach Norm DeBriyn. That's when true freshman catcher Steele Eaves jumped into the pond.

While jumping into Lake Norm is maybe not the best idea—as you can see when Eaves jumped in, it was not that deep and kind of gross—the Omahogs Walk should absolutely become a tradition for two reasons. First, there's nothing else like it in college baseball. And secondly, it brings the fans in on the fun after sticking around, through thick and thin, to celebrate with the team.
