Bobby Petrino - would you send your kid to play for this guy?

Speechless...

That's how the news of Petrino resigning from the Falcons left me when I heard last night.

Are you kidding me? Is this guy the leader of men or a teenager running away from home because he got grounded?

So what, that this is not what you signed up for 10 months ago, life never is, deal with it!

This is the same guy who had secretly negotiated a deal in 2005 to replace Tommy Tuberville at Auburn and then back out.

On Monday night I watched and listen to Arthur Blank as he took the high road, which he always does Bobby!, and talked about rebuilding and the future. He did this and referenced Bobby Petrino at least 5 times. He got on National TV and gave you his trust and his backing. These are HIS millions you mess with on the field and all the while you were on your headset cutting a deal with Arkansas.

Now, nothing against the University of Arkansas, but Mr. Petrino you will NEVER have the success you apparently believe you deserve there and unfortunately it has nothing to do with you. Arkansas is a fine University with a great history but it will never become one of the elite SEC powers. You will not be able to compete with LSU, Alabama and Auburn in the West and you can forget about out recruiting Meyer, Richt or Spurrier in the East, they have CHARACTER.

At the end of the day you have shown us all that the most important person in the world is YOU and I hope parents realize that before they send their children to play for you at Arkansas.

I find myself going back to the Barkan Dawg every day. As hard as it is, something about that feels like we're still saying "hi" by clicking over. You can bet he'd have something to say on this.

all the best, s
