Anecdotal on call to Mattingly bringing up Urban Meyer compared to Petrino

I called Bo's little fake corporatist arse one afternoon after Bobby was fired, 9 years ago?, whatever, and I made a point that several Arkansas sports media people had gone after Petrino with a vengeance, out of whatever motivation each of them had (simple hate for Petrino, trying to help get Malzhan installed here, etc)
I made the point that other SEC programs/local media would have cooled their jets and played ball in protecting the coach that was doing so well with the program
I mentioned Florida, and that a radio station in Florida had reported that Urban Meyer had, let's call it an "inappropriate relationship" with a football office intern.
Bo Mattingly (a Florida grad) jumped through the roof and began screaming and cut my call off.
So, I don't regret at all saying that a Florida radio station reported it, and I'd like to remind any and all of that story or rumor, or whatever the Florida radio station when with. And I'd mostly like to remind Bo Mattingly himself if he is reading this, that he's a corporatist fake little worm - as he knows - and I'm hoping like crazy that the radio station report from 2010 or 2011 comes back up in this latest saga with Urban Meyer
I'm not hating on Meyer. I'm not even saying it's proper to have covered it up on Petrino's behalf. Just saying, Florida's media did it because that radio report on Meyer got anchored to hell on Google.
Also saying it is always ridiculously noticible the bias of our sports media in Arkansas, whenever they are given marching orders by their big money overlords.
It's not journalism.
We literally had an Arkansas radio talk guy covering for a story on Urban Meyer because the talk radio guy's hate for Petrino or love for Meyer or simply marching orders to hope Malzhan gets installed

It was a decade ago. Get over it.
Did i miss it and Urban have a university embarrassing wreck, lie about it, and then get busted?
I don't think banging the whore was what got Bobby in the most trouble. That happens a lot. It was the things that happened from the moment he got on that motorcycle that cost him his job.

Bo is a little shite. Him like any Arkansas media member have short man syndrome. They are very opinionated and when proven wrong just hang up on callers.
Bobby got fired for less while folks like Meyer, O and Miles had players accused of rape but those schools either swept it under the rug or tried doing so. Schools like they that have been shoveling dirt on it for years.

I'm not rehashing 98 percent of the Petrino story
I'm rehashing the way one of our own supposed media members went berserk when something in the same vein was mentioned about Urban Meyer
Look at the grand canyon of coverups the Florida media did on Urban's boy and Gator assistant coach Zach Smith. Way before the Ohio State addition to that particular story.
Get over it? It brought on a near decade of John L Smith, Bielema and Chaggy, so no, I don't think I'll get over it
Don't click the thread if you don't like it

We need a lot of good years to forget a bout these last 10 years. The difference between Petrino and the rest was that the other coaches if investigated would be criminal charges involved.

Nothing what Petrino did was excusable but he never threatened with violence an opposing fan from the stands like O did. Did he issue an apology? Nope, I guess LSU ignored it. But you can bet if Sam said it then he probably gets fired.

HRV is correct. Arkansas media would not protect the program or one of the coaches that they report about.
It definitely happens at other schools.

Don’t let it distract you from the fact Ruscin and Zach are awful

I liked them at first but now they rarely talk a bout any sports now. Both ended up being snobs themselves.

It depends on the coach. Nutt had some skeletons in the closet but the media loved him. They made excuses for him. Petrino, the most evil coach we ever had to deal with. The second coming of Hitler they say.
With Sam they like him but Sam is getting annoyed with the stupid questions. They complained a bout Muss as well.

Yes they are. And they're not just awful, they're a part of the little Gus Cult
They were pushing Gus in the last search, and then pushing Gus little wimpy pet Elle Drinkwuss

They suck so bad.
Wait 8 months for football season to start back and when it does its all fricking off-season topics on their show.
99% morning zoo bullshite and 1% talking about sports. Their show is like Bob and Tom had a baby with The View.

I would pay good PPV money to watch most members of the Arkansas sports media beaten with baseball bats.
Proceeds can go to a children’s hospital.
