Classy move. Why do some posters always have to be dickheads when someone representing another school does something right?

He won't get any more credit for this around here than he got for taking a mercy knee so LSU could claim they were competitive.

because they are either assholes or have never been affected personally, or both.

I lost twin newborn nephews there, fought for days longer than expected. gifts like this help keep research going.

Hate to hear that. Every little bit that can go to more research and provide more resources for these families is important.

Because it doesn't matter what Petrino does or how he acts today. It doesn't matter if he saved the entire world from an incoming meteor laced with AIDs. All that matters is how he left a random NFL team that most people don't even care about 4 years ago in hopes of bettering himself and his family.

Good question. Probably should ask Memphis or Drac or any pussy-arse ATL Falcons fan who's still
about Petrino's departure. GTF over it. The guy has a very dry personality, but he's not any more or less of a jerk than Saban or Bellichick or Parcells or Stoops or Spurier. He's a great gat dam football coach and he's doing everything right in Fayetteville. Time to move the frick on with your hateration. It's tired as hell.

And we will always rag you Arkansas fans for that. But this isn't the thread to do it in.

for those that don't know, Arkansas Children's is one of the best pediatric hospitals in the US.

LINK

quote:

AwardsArkansas Children's Hospital has been voted one of the United States' top 10 pediatric hospitals.[8]

The 2008 US News and World Report included ACH in its ranking of top US pediatric medical facilities. Pediatricians nationwide were interviewed in order to rank hospitals on reputation, patient outcome, and care-related measures such as volume, nursing, and credentialing.[9] ACH was ranked 24th in general pediatrics and 28th in pediatric cardiovascular care and surgery.[10]

The 2008 list of "Best Doctors in America" features 99 physicians on staff at Arkansas Children's Hospital. More than 100 additional physicians included in the list were affiliated more generally with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Health System[11]

ACH is one of the largest employers in Arkansas and Fortune magazine named the hospital in its top 100 "Best Companies to Work For" in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.[12]



Petrino's donation is going to a really good cause.

None of us care how Petrino made his way to Fayetteville. Seriously. If you are going to rag us for something at least make it applicable to us. Some dude taking advantage of an opportunity he felt would benefit him and his family 4 years ago isn't very good ragging material.
