We here at Arkansas Expats, Inc will be the first to admit that the whole concept of the Boot is a little contrived, but we're also not so cynical that we can't enjoy it. After all, it's hard to deny the goofy appeal of a ginormous trophy that's shaped like the states of Arkansas and Louisiana stacked on top of each other.

And, it's even harder to deny its appeal when the Hogs have claimed the Boot for two years running now. Keeping it in the Natural State for a third year would be pretty sweet, huh?

What's your take on the Boot?
