Arkansas Coach John L. Smith Apparently Thinks The Razorbacks Play In Alabama
Another day, another something to embarrass Arkansas football coach John L. Smith.

Free Alex Smith's Hat!
Yesterday, Alex Smith revealed that the NFL has threatened him with $15,000 fines if he continues to wear his San Francisco Giants cap during press conferences. It's non-approved gear from a competing league, you see, and that's not cool. Postgame is prime time for marketing NFL products, and the le...
Arkansas Football Coach John L. Smith Has Only $500 In His Checking Account
John L. Smith might be imploring others to smile these days, but a quick glance at the Arkansas football coach's finances reveals nothing so humorous.

Stephen A. Smith Thought An Article About Him In <i>The Onion</i> Was Real
Earlier today, The Onion posted a rather harmless, totally fictional article entitled, "Stephen A. Smith Thinking Son Is Finally Ready For The Sex Argument."

Arkansas' Season-Long Nightmare Is In Full Swing
Against Arkansas today, Alabama covered the over (51 points) without allowing Arkansas to score. This is a difficult thing to accomplish.
