I can't speak for everyone Bapi, but I hope we see more of you.

Despite how 'good' they may be, the prospect of playing Arkansas would scare
me.  McFadden would run for 900 yards against our rush d.  I believe it was
the LJS that said a win over CU would most likely land us in the Insight.com
bowl and they've said they would be very interested in us against the #6 Big
Ten (most likely Iowa or Purdue).

Seriously man, get your _____ on here more often :)
