Petrino - not riding solo (and fired at Louisville)

    It's kind of fascinating that, in an effort to save his own behind, Petrino essentially gave Dorrell a scarlet letter. Even if they were no longer "together" in some capacity, the whole state of Arkansas (and really the whole football watching South) is laughing at the poor fiancé and convinced he was cuckholded by red-faced, motorcycling Bobby Petrino. The swim coach can't walk into a meet the rest of his career without people snickering behind his back.

    Yeah, that's so unlike Petrino's character to be selfish and think about no one but himself.

    Maybe she chased after him with a golf club before he crashed.

    Seriously, those Taiwanese animators haven't worked something out about this yet?

    I haven't lived that good of a life to deserve this.

    All this just confirms one of my daddy's lifelong axioms:

    Never trust a grown man named Bobby.

    Hey, his son-in-law is Joe Ferguson's nephew. If that isn't proof that it's a done deal, I don't know what is!</bleacherreport>

    Fired. Interim coach, followed by God knows who.

    I've never cheated on my wife, but gotten too close to the line for comfort. Maybe that's why I have sympathy for someone I normally wouldn't, even as I recognize the comedy of it all.

    There's a pretty significant gap between "cheating on your wife" and "cheating on your wife with someone you daughter's age who is engaged and then hiring her to work for you." One is a temporary lapse of judgment or possibly the sign of a failing marriage; the other shows a much deeper lack of moral fiber.

    I read somewhere (could be complete BS) that someone researched her salary on the state database, and it's a starting pay of $56K. Living in Fayetteville and making that has to be like making $500K in a decent-sized city.

    Is this a prediction or a news flash?
