I guess their "source" is better than Desmond Howard this time.

Nothing is official yet, but at least one of the local Atlanta TV stations is reporting that "multiple sources" have confirmed Petrino will resign and take the UArk job.

I doubt the local stations will have much more than ESPN or anywhere else, but I'll post what I hear.

Players win games. All we have to do is recruit our state. We will be fine. The days of dynasty's in the SEC are over.

Croom can not be one of the 2 worst. The guys does more with lesser talent than any other coach I can think of. Maybe that fat guy in Kansas?

I really like JDR, but we were all grasping for straws with that one. He's not going anywhere and should be considered for NFL coach of the year.

As for Petrino, he's a Type A personality like Saban. LSU doesn't need that. He sneaks around too -- he jumped the sinking ship in Atlanta but don't think he wouldn't jump back to the pros if he got the right job.

Putting all personal preferences aside concerning RKansas and the Dirty Birds, what a great day for sports. This is the kind of Breaking News that you watch SportsCenter for. For the first time in a while the term Breaking News was used rightfully on ESPN. This is cool...

Jeff Long (The new Arkansas AD) was at the MNF game last night and the school's plane stayed in Atlanta all day.

My God, the SEC is stacked with coaches. N-A-S-T-Y!

It's cool that the SEC is so prestigious, NFL coaches are resigning on a yearly basis to come coach here.

I know. It really is cool. Everyone across the country gave a resounding "Holy shite" when they announced that.

Petrino is considered to be one the great play callers and expert at putting together "schemes". Somebody that could outcoach you.

Rocket, your stress level seems to have dropped considerably. Hopefully you are off of 24x7 cigarettes and coffee.
