Lat, I really do feel for you, and Pigfeet, and 870, and all the other great Arky posters here. The fans and players sure didn't deserve what Petrino has put y'all through.

I have no worries about Arkansas. Y'all will be just fine. You'll find a good coach who has character too. I wish y'all the best.

Y'all deserve better than CBP and I commend arky for not putting winning at all cost above integrity.

that's a great sentiment,



if you play in the frickin' Ivy League. but we are in the SEC and nothing and I mean NOTHING trumps winning, if you want to win.

I'm proud of Long and Ark for doing the right thing. You'll be rewarded for it in the longterm.

But, in the meantime..

UA fired Price for sleeping with Destiny that one time and I didn't expect a pat on the back for it

To the OP, I respect your administration for doing the right thing. It's a tough pill to swallow knowing your program is going to take a hit for doing the right thing. I have some friends who are die hard razorback fans and I know you guys put as much into your football program as we do and I respect that, pig hats and all. We had a similar situation with Ryan Perriloux a few years back after our national championship season. We gave that kid way more chances than he deseved but once he got kicked off the team we knew we were in trouble and we ended up 7-5 with Andrew Hatch and gang. I wish you guys all the best but screw BP and I'm sure most of you guys feel the same way about that arrogant POS. It seems that your AD is committed to winning by doing things the right way so if he can make a good hire you guys will be just fine. Good things happen to people that handle things the right way so you guys deseve success in the future for doing the right thing and BP deseves all he gets for screwing y'all over. My Arkansas friends won't even text me back they're so disgusted, I think they're locked in their basements for a few weeks and I probably would be too.

Beacon of integrity, my arse.
Long had no other choice but to fire him. Long didn't make this decision alone. The President, Chancelor, and Board were also involved and the legal ramifications of hiring and paying the Dorrell chick was the lynchpin that lead to his ouster.

I feel your pain brah. It sucks, but the University of Arkansas deserves better. You'll get through it. Ease up on the bleach.
