I was wondering if there would be any April 1 notes in relation to Petrino yesterday. There were not. I’m sure many do recall that April 1 was the day the motorcycle went in the ditch. I almost asked Bret Bielema yesterday if he planned to ride any bikes yesterday when we visited during practice. I did not. Kinda wish I did now.
Yea…that was like a bad dream. Did that really happen? Razorback football and basketball seem to be under a black cloud. Basketball is trying to emerge from the depths. Hopefully, it will be good again. Not great, but good.
Thank goodness for Dave Van Horn. The guy is a rock. He reminds me of what John McGraw was like, according to the history books. He is a great coach. Wonder why he never tried the big leagues?
I remember there was speculation about a female riding with him and I said no way with him being the most visible person in the state. I said he would never be so stupid.
Famous last words, right, Richard? But I had thought the same thing. I didn’t understand why reporters were asking if he was by himself. And then the bottom fell out.
I thought Petrino was the most organized and detailed guy I had ever seen. It seemed he had every minute planned. And, he did. I was stunned, and very disappointed, he was able to find time to carve out a secret life that seemed contradictory to everything he was preaching to his players.
