Pitiful Petrino

This entire situation shows how some people in athletics forget about morals.

Sometimes, they seem to be held above the law, but Petrino seems to have been dealt what he was due in this case.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see Arkansas be the "better man" in the situation and stand up for what is right.

Petrino brought them success, there's no doubt about that.

But what pricetag goes with success?

Is it an undisclosed $20,000 sent to Petrino's newest hire and fling, Jessica Dorrell?

Or is it that $55,735 Dorrell would've been making per year as a recruiting coordinator?

In reality, it wasn't cheating that got him fired. It was lying, repeatedly.

The arrogance was outpacing the talent, as Bill Reiter said.

These are a few posts I found interesting concerning the Petrino situation, and I'm giving credit where credit is due. These are the writers opinions, not necessarily my own.

Hunter Robinson - playing off the DirecTV commercials.  

"When you don't beat LSU, you get angry. When you get angry, you buy a Harley. When you buy a Harley, you meet a 25 year old blonde. When you meet a 25 year old blonde, you ask her to ride your Harley. When a 25 year old blonde rides your Harley, you end up in a roadside ditch. Don't end up in a roadside ditch. Beat LSU."

Ryan McCollough -  with an interesting observation

"Rick Pitino: admits to having a mistress, gets a pay raise.
Bobby Petrino: admits to having a mistress, gets fired.  


Moral of the story: Petrino should have stayed at Louisville."

So, what's next? Does Petrino have a coaching future?

Who knows.

But I wouldn't be surprised if there's a clause in his next contract restricting Harley endorsements.

Troy Trojans - Spring Football

It's 5 months till football season but I'm ready to declare it football time already!

The Troy Trojans held their annual T-Day on Saturday, March 31, where fans got the chance to see the Trojans in action for the first time this spring.

If you missed it, you're still in luck.

Here's a look back at last year, and a preview of 2012.

The Madness is Over

I missed the rest of March Madness.

I watched, but didn't get the chance to update the blog about it.

Things were wacky for the first few rounds, and nearly everyone's  bracket got busted.

But when it game down to the championship, it was almost cut and dry.

The Wildcats. Kentucky did it.

Now that college basketball is over, I'm ready to declare it time to concentrate on football.

Guess baseball season still stands in the way for now though.
