Good riddance!
Wait — I'm too used to throw out the bums!
Thanks for the last 3 years – guys! You guys were awesome!
These kids deserve all the $$$$ they can garner, as do their families—–except maybe the brother who is always with DMac when he finds trouble.
Thanks for the ride guys. It sure was fun watching you two.
Yes I hope DMAC can stay out of trouble between now and the draft, I am afraid he may have to learn the hard way that family and friends don't have your best interest in heart sometimes. As for Felix he is going to surprise some people but I think Peyton will have the longer career, it is hard to find a league blocker and he has very good hands.
Congrats boys! Can either of you spot me some cash? hahaha just kidding, of course. Watching you wear the Razorback jerseys the past 3 years has been great, and we'll be talking about you two for many years to come. Good luck to you and your families. Please represent us like you have the past 3 years, with pride and excellence. Go Hogs Go!
I want to wish the best of luck to both of you guys, and thank the both of you for all the great memories. Both of you will truly go down in Razorback history as two of the best of all time!
McFadden to Dallas
Jones to Miami (although I'd love to see him in Seattle)
Hillis to Seattle in 3rd
Thanks for letting me witness the best trio of running backs I'll prob ever see. Here’s to productive and healthy careers.
HogZombie, DMAC is an exciting talent but as a Cowboy fan our needs are defensive back, wide receiver and offensive line help. At least I hope they choose this way, who knows with Jerry Jones will do, trade all of our picks for him stupid, I think he is going to be a Patriot believe it or not.
OwassoHog. I think your right it was really awsome waching them two and guys I wish the best of luck to you I hope you guys have the time of your lives ya"ll are the best and GO HOGS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I kind of wish the Rams did not have Steven Jackson so they would be in the McFadden market.
Go Hogs…Go Rams…
