I found this to be pretty funny.:thumbup:

very funny.

That is PRICELESS!

Man, I hope Arkansas ain't able to recruit worth a damn.

Maybe they'll run him out before he leaves on his own and he'll be reduced to being a coordinator or an HC at a low to mid major college..........

Not only funny but it's also 100% correct..even if it is in fiction form.

WOW!

We were all thinking it, but I'm frankly surprised that espn put it on their front page. Very funny stuff. Unfortunately, parents don't seem to care because his reputation didn't seem to hurt his recruiting at Louisville.

[Mark Blueblood]

Pretty well sums it up.

Ya think that former Razorback is gonna bust his chops to help get some kid to commit to his alma mater? Somehow, methinks not.

Petrino would have made millions in any number of fields...

politics

selling insurance

selling used cars

or black market munitions.

"Unfortunately, parents don't seem to care because his reputation didn't seem to hurt his recruiting at Louisville."

I'm not so sure about that. Petrino won with John L.'s players, and with Brohm, who was going to UL regardless of who the coach was. This past year was UL's first with all of its players recruited since Petrino became its head coach, and there was a big falloff in talent, and the cupboard is purt' near bare for next season.

Yup. Also, the only reason Petrino was at Louisville longer than a few years was because he was caught talking to Auburn officials over in Clarksville.

I'd rightfully expect competing schools to use Petrino's disloyalty against Arkansas big time - with a decent level of success. Given the facts, what's Petrino going to be able to counter with to prove he won't do it again?

That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time...give a medal to the person that thought that up:thumbup::icon_mrgreen:
