Agree with nearly everyone who seems to be for aTm joining but not Missouri. For Arkansas Columbia really isn't that far away, it would actually be as close as Ole Miss or any other SEC opponent for us. I just don't think they are a good fit.

yeah but some of those stats were put up against bad competition.

True. I mean, we only played 6 ranked teams. I'm sure there are at least 4-5 teams in the country that played a tougher schedule.

Go get somebody who's proven himself against the big dogs, like Andrew Luck or Jake Locker. Better yet, Boise's QB. He shredded the WAC.

Congrats, your team just hired Ric Flair.

Wooo.

If Mallett flops it will be because of injuries. People act like he's been an INT machine, but he hasn't.

In 2 years at Arkansas he has thrown for 60 TDs to 18 picks in 25 games.

He completed 67% of his passes this season.

He did all this despite playing against some tough defenses in by far the hardest division in college football.

The guy was a consensus top 5 pick coming into the year. Yes, he'll get on a better team out of the break, but there is a big dropoff in money between the #22 drafted player and the #5.

Problem is the new CBA will have a rookie salary cap that will take care of that. Better get out while the getting is good.

Sorry
That's
All

I am happy for R Kansas..but some of your fans make it really difficult to pull for you.

Some of our fans make it hard for me to pull for us.

LSU's got it's quota as well, though.

Get Smart is the hottest new comedy of our generation.

DJ Williams was very close to Nutt. DJ briefly thought about transferring to Ole Miss. It's a good thing he didn't as the TE is also known as "3rd tackle" in Nutt's offense and he couldn't have put up those stats. DJ didn't like Petrino much when he got to UA because Petrino cursed and was very demanding on the players. Petrino is very tough but he's the reason DJ will be drafted and he knows that.

I saw Petrino light DJ up after he came to the sideline after a touchdown reception earlier this year, I think against South Carolina. He said something about "cutting the route short" and if you watch the tape, that's just what he did. Should've been an easy TD but he allowed the LB to close and it could've been picked if it were someone other than Mallett throwing it. That's the kind of guy Petrino is, he'll criticize you even when you score, but he'll make you better.

I really hope after his NFL career he ends up working with the athletic department in a role advising kids and acting as a mentor. He's really a very good speaker and outgoing and he'd be great in the broadcast booth as well, but I'd love to see him keeping kids on track.

He also took his last final so he gets his degree early as well.
