NoCalMike Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Did they explain why they were disbanding? Do they just feel it is time, since more and more years have passed since "The Hogs" so less people even understand the reference? I assume all of them will still be attending games, just not dressed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Wow..I first met the guys at RFK on Dec. 13, 1992. There was a big 'ol (real) hog called "Rootie" in the parking lot too. The Redskins beat Dallas 20-17...at the time it was Joe Gibbs last regular season win. I was able to see the guys again about 8 years later at Two Days Gifts in Manassas. They posed for pics with my kids and were just fun to be around. Everyone in my family has their hog nose. Hail to the Hogettes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wredskin Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 They will truly be missed by me and my family. I know others will carry on, but this tradition was love for our Skins all over the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMUSkins Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Anyone know if they are keeping their seats? It will be weird to see them just hanging out in regular fan-attire if so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrikk Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I love them. But it's a new era. Good for them to stick with it for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWCREDSKINS Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Love all Hogettes photos, all I know is I went to the "Spiggy and Friends" event the last 5 years. It is a blast especially considering I drive 60+ miles each way to go to it, I'd love them to continue it as a reunion. I hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanac625 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 After losing in the playoffs, and the injury to RGIII, it's very sad to hear this news. But 30 years is a long time. Enjoy your retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangee7 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Loved the "Hogettes". Will miss you guys. Thanks for the memories! Wish you all the best. Hail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks for all you've done, fellas! Have enjoyed your enthusiasm and admired your service to charity since your inception. (You were always a highlight on game day for my grandparents in the 80s...we always got a good laugh at the crazy dresses!) I'll miss you, and wish you all the best! Hail to the Hogettes!
