Dear Tiger Fans,

With all due respect, and I mean that. You guys are hands down the best college football program of the decade. To be the best, you got to beat the best, which last year we (ARKANSAS) did. Still we have zero bcs bowls or outright SEC championships....but that's about to change. As we have cut our mediocre Nutt's off, we have entered a rebuilding phase, but with today's announcement, Ryann Mallett in waiting, and a 42-9 college coach who won more bowl games in three years than Nutt won in 10...we are on the rise. We just landed the #2 Cornerback in the land...a 5 star recruit which is nothing knew to you guys, but we have more coming. I'm calling you guys out right now....because of respect....BEWARE OF THE RISING HOG!!!

Good luck to ya'll.

Maybe you'll show up at a bowl game for a change.

You always give us a battle, anyway.

The fact is this guy is a great get to keep him in state but overall Petrino is not doing a very good job this year on the recruiting trail. A long time to go but friends of mine who follow the program closely are disappointed so far.

I remember when you guys actually lost to UAB. I know that we will take a few steps back before we get to the top, and YES.....lasy week was awful, but we also played 20 freshman on offense and defense. Nutt didn't leave us with much. By the way, regarding Petrino's recruting. He has already landed more 5 star guys than Nutt ever did....but we still have work to do. Texas might kill us. I just hope we represent the SEC well!

Congratulations! Keeping a top talent in state is key to rebuilding your program.

I'm glad USC wasn't able to come in and frick you guys ala Paris Hilton on the Simple Life.

I just looked at your Rivals top 20 in state recruits.

It's hard to believe that there are only 3 players above 3 star quality in the state.

Seriously, how are you expected to compete with such a talent disadvantage.

It definitely makes the Hogs win last year that much more impressive.

This could belong on either the Recruiting Board or the SEC Rant, take your choice. But please get it out of here!

Regarding HOG recruits from Arkansas. Nutt failed to keep the best players in the state. Lee Zimba, Kodi Burns, Mitch Mustain, Damian Williams (USC's leading receiver). Joe Adams, last years top recruit from AR had committed to USC. Petrino changed his mind, and he is now a Hog. Petrino landed our best 5 players last year. He has to do this since we don't have that many great players coming out of AR like you guys do in LA. Petrino actually snuck into LA and grabbed Jericho Nelson last year who can play some ball. All I'm saying is that you guys are going to have a real fight on your hands with the Hogs. Petrino can't leave unless he rebuilds our program, and if he tried to leave who would take him? In all honesty he has recieved a very bad rap from ESPN because Home Depot is a major sponsor. Art Blank who also owns the ATL Falcons owns Home Depot. Give me a break....he has coached as many college teams as Les Miles has. Coaches move around. I would be surprised if he left the SEC. I'm out. Good luck until we meet up in LR. You guys might stomps us this year! Out!

Good luck this year with recruiting and keeping your best local guys home, but you guys need some quality players from other states and BP mis doing that. Good luck for the season as well.
