Hello Dallas, Bye Bye Houston.

The Hogs are Cotton Bowl bound after crushing LSU's National Championship hopes in a 50-48 triple-overtime win in Baton Rouge.

Against pretty much the best defense team in the nation, the Razorbacks put up 513 yards total, with 388 of those on the ground in the "Battle for the Boot."

The LSU Tigers have not allowed a 100 yard rusher all season.
Darren McFadden had 206. And 3 touchdowns. And one TD throw.

What's a guy got to do to win a Heisman around here?
As amazing as he was, it was a team effort. LSU had no answer to the triumvirate of McFadden-Jones-Hillis. Along with D-Mac's 3 touchdowns, Hillis had 3, and Jones was crucial in OT, running in the final 2-point conversion.

Poor wikkle tigers.
Lose their title hopes, and most likely their coach to the Wolverines.

Speaking of...Sorry Houston. You've pulled out the biggest win of your Arkansas career, but you're still out. All that this proves is your inconsistency. I wish you well, but (as a UA student and Razorback fan) I'm not sorry to see you go. Well done, but...holla' atcha boy.

But that's for later. Until then, I'll see you guys at the Cotton Bowl.
