Well ... here we go, it is dump on Bobby week. I really do not understand what the fuss is about. Bobby went for a ride on his bike, and carried a passenger, that just happened to not be his wife, and had an accident. He did nothing illegal, broke no state, county or city law. He has not suspended any players for having a fling with a married woman, having a wreck while sober on his own free time. Bobby did not get drunk after curfew, rob a bank or steal anything! He went for a ride and had an accident and the only thing that was broken was his body. It is sickening to hear all these "Head Hunter" remarks, I am thinking most of these remarks are coming from non-Arkansans, wanting Bobby fired so their home team has a better chance at beating the U A football team.

This just adds charm and charisma to the staff of U of A. One thing for sure, these 2 made more head lines on their off season than the Hogs did during the season. Being a transplant from south Louisiana I have to say it.... GEAUX LSU.

How many of Petrino's family work for the U of A? I know his brother is one of the MANY assistant coaches. What is Miss Jessica Dorrell's salary? Where does her salary come from? How many others hold that same title? Give us some facts.

Petrino's record last season will give him a little more consideration as far as his future, I think he will stay with some kind of monetary punishment, but it is anybody's guess right now.

Wasn't this the reason Houston Nutt was asked to leave? The losing seasons were just icing on top, but the infedelity clause was the straw that broke the camel's back. I just don't think the University needs to buy out any more contracts. When a breach of contract occurs, the guilty party should be terminated. Houston made more money getting fired than he shoul have. It's a shame for these players, though. My prayers go mainly to the family. They are the ones who need them at this time.
