    From the AD's statement, it sounds like Smith was the one who contacted Arkansas about coming back and serving as the interim coach, and not the other way around.

    I'm sure the Weber State people, knowing their place in the food chain, are not surprised about losing him to Arkansas. But I still wouldn't be real thrilled about him making the first move.

    He told them in the locker room at halftime, if the accounts are correct.

    The Pigs can do much better than Malzahn anyway. I'm no buddy of Gus but I've seen him work up close.

    Who was the coach who went to the Heisman presentation with one of his players, but was wearing the shirt of his new team?

    Was that Urban Meyer with Alex Smith? I can't remember...

    That's why he was so quick to jump from Weber State. Possibly tripled his salary?

    Somewhere a former special teams coach is laughing like a maniac. And when he gets back from his holiday, Starman will be so happy he shits himself.
