Don't much care about Anderson, but GDI I wish they would get rid of Long. [expletive] moving the Little Rock game to a Thursday night. I know it's selfish to want that Saturday game, but ffs they should keep it going. 1. War Memorial is one of the best tailgating environments in the nation and a million times better than Fayetteville. 2. There's only 1 game instead of 2. 3. Arkansas' best victories over the past couple decades have come in Little Rock.

Jeff Long got his 15 seconds for firing Petrino and crying in the process, then turned that into a seat on the selection committee, and on the coat tails of petrino's success funded an expansion of the stadium in Fayetteville. Now he rests on his laurels as some higher than thou [expletive] whose decisions are above reproach.

Hey, your basketball coach is underperforming by a wide margin compared to his past performances. Your football coach is eking out .500 records in a middling SEC. And, you do nothing to inspire confidence there is any return to greatness on either front or any pressure to improve the product. Sad. Just go away you [expletive] pip squeak.

Are you reading my posts on woopig and wholehog? You failed to mention that last year's baseball team was the worst in a decade.

I have tailgated countless of times on the golf course. My favorite memories are leaving the gross anatomy lab at UAMS after cutting on a cadaver Saturday morning, then walking to the golf course and getting after it before playing some directional Louisiana school.

Long is all about his brand. He wants to run a conference. It isn't helping our athletic department.

Reminiscing a bit. The national champion 1993-1994 Arkansas Razorbacks beat Allen Iverson, Grant Hill, Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard and Damon Stoudemire in the tournament that year. Salty.

Yes.
I assume the award itself is already named after Rick Barnes.

17 years at Texas, 18 NBA players and a bunch more top recruits that flamed out. He had top ten classes almost every year.

Durant (Naismith winner), TJ Ford (Naismith winner), LaMarcus Aldridge, DJ Augustin, Avery Bradley, Maurice Evans, Tristan Thompson, Daniel Gibson, Jordan Hamilton, Royal Ivey, Cory Joseph, Chris Mihm, PJ Tucker, etc.

One final four.
