    Why are we assuming he's the only one who sent pics?

    And did she have a university phone?

    One thing the phone records prove is that Petrino and the girl didn't just have some sort of sordid sexual affair; they clearly were having a romance.

    There's no excusing what Petrino, a 50-year-old in power, did...but what kind of woman is engaged to be married but has a long-running sordid affair with a guy her dad's age?

    Maybe I should borrow the word from Rush Limbaugh. The swim coach should be thanking his lucky stars he avoided marrying that nightmare.

    FWIW I've seen it reported a couple places that this wasn't Dorrell's first engagement. Supposedly she was engaged to a former UA football player a couple of years back.

    Jesus, when did he have time to, you know, coach football?

    First Nutt, now Petrino. Bear Bryant could rise from the grave to coach Arkansas and the school still wouldn't issue another cell phone.

    I guess they weren't using burners like freq suggested.

    Petrino deserved to be fired for sheer stupidity. The guy was making millions and he was using a government provided cell phone- which is a matter of public record- to contact his mistress. BUY A PERSONAL PHONE FOR THOSE CALLS, MORON. Did you learn nothing from Houston McNutt?

    I don't usually agree with Rush but I do in this case.

    Those are the McGuire twins, Billy and Benny. They were a pro wrestling tag team. How they ever lost a match is beyond me.

    I'm with you, so long as we're also in agreement that posts quoting Freqposter don't have to be removed.

    Yeah, if they were posted as part of the conversation - well, tough for him and we're not doing anything about that. But to "save" them all and post them after he deleted his own posts? No. That's a dick move.
