I'm sure not a penny is coming out of her TJ Maxx purse anyway, but couldn't Ms. Collins use some some of that attorney money to start booking flights to Fayetteville to see her son play.

I'm hoping he really wants to be at Arkansas. I think he does as his body language during the signing program indicated it. He also seemed to tweet Arkansas fans back at a high rate. He's seemed like an Arkansas lean for awhile to me at least. I hope the decision was his and we don't come out dirty in all this. I seriously doubt we do though.

I guess she's blaming his HS coach for Alex choosing Arkansas or the Arkansas staff.

Going to be hard to explain how he lives with one and was being recruited by the other...

So she gets mad when he picks Arkansas over Miami, then implies she thinks we paid him?

I mean, it's fricking Miami. We all know they were either paying him or his mom

New statement just released from Alex Collins' mom's lawyer:

“Ms. McDonald understands that Alex has received consent from his father who has signed the letter-of-intent for him to play football for the University of Arkansas. However, our client's initial intentions remain unchanged."

"She is a loving and caring mother who only wants her son to choose a university without any outside and inappropriate influences"

"Ms. McDonald hopes all NCAA rules and regulations were followed during today’s signing."

"She is not seeking any personal financial gain because her only concern is for Alex's happiness and well being"

"The Cochran Firm is standing by Ms. McDonald in this difficult time and has made all of the firm's resources available to her as she explores her options.”

"Just heard on Bo's show that the Arkansas coaches told Alex that we would back off and even rescind his offer if it would make everything easier for him. He told them no and that he wanted to be at Arkansas."

Quoted because I don't listen to Bo's show...

"They won't initiate a law suit but if she files suit against the U of A she had better darn sure have her ducks in a row because if you seriously believe the PTB at the U of A will just sit around and allow the University's reputation to be soiled you are DEAD WRONG. I don't believe she'll ever get to court with it though."

Not PWJ, but GUV, still batshit crazyness.

Someone in Miami is mad.

I doubt the lawfirm is doing this for free, would be funny if they filed some sort of suit, then the UofA asked for a discovery as to who was a paying, then it came out it was a big Miami donor.

Then the NCAA slaps Miami even harder for trying to buy recruits they don't get.

They keep trying to put Shannon into the middle of this for some reason as well.

Publicity whores, that is all.


I really hope we sick Fred Harrison and Scott Varady on them. The comment about hoping NCAA rules weren't broken at the signing ceremony is enough for slander. Johnnie Tyson please break out the big guns.
