He should've gotten a Chameleon. Looks like a POS on the outside... it has the body of a Chrysler with a driver side door from an Oldsmobile; simulated transmission fluid leak; mismatched hubcaps; and a wire coat hanger antenna. Inside, it has a leather and wood interior. Sweet!

@TomahawkFlop: he's keeping Tim Horton and Bobby Allen on staff so that will help a lot with in-state and fending off Nutt. Horton especially. Somebody told me that he's got some Texas HS coach lined up as an assistant too for making in-roads in TX a priority again - like in the days of yore. Folks just need to realize who they are playing against every year and accept that 8-4 to 9-3 most years and three division titles in 10 years is a pretty good run in today's SEC.

@pr0FF3ss0r_j3rkwh3at:

Even with Petrino, the program is facing an uphill battle to stay competitive. Petrino better find a guy that can recruit the state or else Nutt will be stealing recruits out of Little Rock for years to come. I agree about Razorback fans, they used to be a great fan base, but the overwhelming idiotic majority has really stained the program. Not to mention John White, Frank Broyles and the rest of the 70+ year old administraion.

@TomahawkFlop: I don't want to see him get injured either - and Darren isn't coming off the field unless you make him. And it has been seriously disheartening to see what's happened in the administration and amongst a big chunk of the fanbase over the past few years. We used to have great fans, and we still have a lot of great fans, but I have been wanting to beat the shit out of a lot of them for the past 24 months or so...

Why The NCAA Is Fuxxored
by Dave

(1) If McFadden had the car purchased/obtained/generously donated by someone else, even someone not affiliated with the school/booster program/agent he's going to sign with: BAD!!! BAD!!!! NO BOWL GAME!!!! DISQUALIFIED!!!!!

(2) If McFadden stole the car: No problem.

But remember -- the NCAA is all about the student-athlete.

If McFadden is the first pick in the draft, that means the Dolphins traded the pick. Running back might be one of the only positions on the team where they actually have a real live NFL player (Ronnie Brown).
