Re: Jeff Long did the right thing!

Right before the crash, Petrino texted Greg Brohm, brother of Brian and former Louisville assistant:

Any significance to this?

Re: Jeff Long did the right thing!

I find it hilarious that there were all these text messages on every game day EXCEPT Alabama.

Still didn't do him any good.

Re: Jeff Long did the right thing!

The University of Arkansas offered Jessica a first class ticket out of Fayetteville, but she declined because she only rides coach

84 text messages the day before Vandy. No wonder they looked so bad. I saw that game and Ark should have lost. Guess he had his mind on stacking the box.

Remember the whole Mike Price "Tide's rolling baby?"

I can't help but ponder....and it involves her wearing a pig snout, rocking back & forth and doing that stupid pig call, (falls in the floor unconscious from laughter)....

At first, I was like "petrino doesn't play defense". Then I was like "oh snap!"

Sent from my EVO with Tapatalk

i havent heard anywhere about any type of severance pay or if he gets nothing on the way out. I was wondering if he gets the ax without any compensation here. I really havent looked into or read much about this story yet.

Fired "WITH CAUSE". He's entitled for someone to hold the door open while he carries personal boxes out.

We were talking about that at work and hollering "soooooey" at each other all day. ROFL. We had some fun with that and some other things.

Y'all I don't mean to defend Petrino, but a couple of things:

1. I want to reserve the phrase "scum bag" for serious cases.
2. The affair and the cover up is a serious case.
3. Lying about a coaching job isn't scum bag level. Too many folks do that these days, rightly or wrongly.

It is the national perception which carries the day. What we think (as individuals) does not define the mood.
I agree with you about the term scumbag being loosely thrown about. I wouldn't call the job searchs as such.

crimsonaudio said:

If you can excuse walking out on the team with three games remaining, not even having the stones to tell them to their faces but typing up a note, then I guess some folks just have different standards of behavior.

And this whole thing is probably getting ready to get a LOT uglier with these phone records...

I can excuse it because we're talking about mercenaries, not real teams. It's professional sports--100% business. It would be like getting ticked at the CEO of Pepsi leaving for a better job at Coke. Who cares?

I never once faulted Petrino for leaving the Falcons. If it had been an actual team (college or high school) I would have.

Hogville.net is up again, it had been down due to traffic the past two days. One cannot access it unless you sign in. Just in case anyone cared.

I live in ATL but I don't have much love for the Falcons. Still, what Petrino did them was the epitome of classlessness. Yeah it's a business, but that doesn't justify his behavior. If I'm working at a company and planning to leave the next day, I don't tell the CEO I'm committed to him knowing I've been hired at another firm and packing my bags that night. The Falcons paid Petrino a enormous sum of money to coach their team for 16 games. Maybe things didn't go like Bobby wanted in ATL, but he agreed to do a job and then snuck out the back door without having the decency to tell anyone to their face he was quitting.

Anyway, Jeff Long can cry all he wants at his presser and lament the damage done to his fine university, but it's all his fault. Arkansas knew exactly what kind of man they were getting because they were complicit in him screwing the Falcons. No big deal then I guess, and Petrino is a very good coach who won there as expected. But Jeff Long and Arkansas knew Petrino was an irresponsible, low class individual when he was hired, so I don't see how they could have expected him to act differently in Fayetteville.

Saw this one earlier:

"The University of Arkansas offered Jessica Dorrell a first class ticket out of Fayetteville, but she declined because she only rides coach."
