Bobby Petrino Statement tonight

  • Arkansas AD Jeff Long called a press conference for 9:45 p.m. tonight. It is in progress as we speak. A prepared statement from Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino was handed out to media in attendance. Posting the following from our friends at Hawgs247:

    "The state police report today provides and accurate description of my accident, which includes details that had not publically come to light prior to the report being issued. I regret that I have not publically acknowledged a passsenger on the vehicle. I have been in constant pain, medicated and the circumstances involving the wreck have come out in bits and pieces ...
    • "That said I certainly had a concern about Jessica Dorrell's name being revealed. In my press conference, I referred to her simply as 'a lady.' My concern was to protect my family and a previous inappropriate relationship from becoming public. In hindsight, I showed a serious mistake in judgment when I chose not to be more specific about those details. Today, I've acknowledged this previous inappropriate relationship with my family and those within the athletic department administration. ...
    • "I apologize to my wife, Becky, and our four children, Chancellor (David) Gearhart, Jeff Long, the Board of Trustees, University administration, my coaching staff, student-athletes and the entire state of Arkansas. I have been humbled by the outpouring of concern and get-well wishes. I apologize to the Razorback Nation for the attention my actions have brought to the University of Arkansas and our program. I will fully cooperate with the University throughout this process and my hope is to repair my relationships with my family, my Athletic Director, the Razorback Nation and remain the head coach of the Razorbacks."

  • Robert Turbeville and Otis Kirk are doing a great job covering this on Hawgs247. Long took the posium and announced Petrino has been placed on paid adminsitrative leave pending further investigation and consideration.

  • Bobby seems to have a knack for screwing up. Makes you glad Freeze is grounding Ole Miss in sound Christian principles.

  • Live girls and wrecked motorcycles along with storytelling will get you fired in the Bible Belt. Bobby is guilty of all three, so he says. I say he's out.

    FreezeWarning

  • Don't forget Nutt recovered nicely from his scandal at Arkansas. Same ingredients except for the motorcycle, but there may have been a horse involved. That fresh mountain air is just so romantically charged!

  • LOL... ^this guy ^

    good points though

  • Friends in Arkansas say this was just put on Jeff Long the AD this evening. News was about to break at 10 tonight, so U of A called a presser for spin and damage control. In fairness to Long, he didn't have but a few hours reaction time. My Arkie friends say Petrino may be fired as early as Friday. They say Razorbacks won't tolerate another extra marital affair scandal after Nutt and the blackeye he put on program. Just what my friends are saying.

    Exactly what it sounds like too. Hate it for Arky fans. Petrino had given them something to cheer about the past few years. I don't hate it for Petrino though(people finding our about the affair that is. Hate the accident happened). Never have liked that guy.

    right... NOW is the time to call Arkansas leans... haha especially if Freeze can contact parents and talk about how he plans on growing Ole Miss with Christian foundation and how much he LOVES his family... in fact he just got back from a romantic date with his wife... u know, the opposite of Petrino's views... haha am i right?

    Heck yeah! I almost dislike Petrino as much as Man Dullen. Didn't Cordarelle Patterson commit there?

  • That little 1980's probation (Brewer) was thanks in part to the hogs. I hope they don't fire BP anytime soon. The home baseball series with the hogs is only a couple of weeks off. Imagine someone dressed up in a pig mask and wearing a neck brace at the Friday night game.
