    Thanks for becoming a fan, Jacob! I really enjoy your coverage of the Razorbacks, the insight and analysis is terrific and refreshing. I'm a Pac-12 guy (went to Cal), so I follow them most, but it's always great reading your work on Arkansas. Have you considered applying to become a Featured Columnist for the Razorbacks? I think you should apply! Here's a link: http://bleacherreport.com/pages/featuredcolumnists

    Thanks again, Jacob!
