Sorry cant resist but where is everybody that was saying earlier in the week that UA basketball had hit rock bottom after the Kentucky loss and we would not have 10,000 show up for the Michigan game. Still trying to get out of the parking lot at Bud Walton. GO HOGS!!!!

Yeah we are all good in Razorback Nation right now. I am just waiting to learn if those kids enjoyed Fayetteville as much as I did. They got to want to sign to get on the A Train.

CMA has only has a monster egg right now. There is nothing to feed. But, if we take care of business against Auburn at home, then go to Bama and steal literally defensively steal the game, we will be ranked top 20 next week and we will have a monster hatchling on our hands :-)
