John Pelphrey has been "fired", Mike Anderson has been hired, and Tim from Little Rock has retired.
I would like to thank all my readers, especially those that chose to sign up and follow me.
I will be making one final post in my blog after Mike Anderson is introduced as our new basketball coach. Please oblige me, and tune in one last time. It will be tonight, or tomorrow.
It's a great day for our basketball program, our state, and for Nolan and Mike.

Something for Jeff Long to consider.
If Jeff Long is going to make a change this year, I hope he understands that the fans desire must be taken into account when making his decision on the replacement. Whether Jeff Long likes it or not, there is a symbiotic relationship that exists between himself and the fans when a decision such as this presents itself. Jeff Long might have the final say on who the replacement is, but it would be unwise to believe the fans don't have a say in the final verdict. It will be the fans who will determine if Jeff Long's decision is right or wrong.
It's Jeff Long's decision, but it would be levelheaded on his part to demonstrate a willingness to listen to the fans. Only by doing this will Jeff Long come to a decision that is viewed by fans as being assiduously balanced; just anyone will not do in this instance---Tommy Bowden, Jim Grobe, etc...
And before anyone says it, let me say this---Jeff Long doesn't get credit for Bobby Petrino, he fell from the sky a gift from God....

Better put your boots on---it's getting deep!
I thought it was a little peculiar that all the radio shows yesterday and today would be trying so hard to sell how much improvement has been made this year with the basketball team. I thought they would prefer to build up tomorrow nights game with Miss. St. like they did last week for the Kentucky game.
I realized today why they haven't. I was under the impression that tomorrow nights game was for the first round bye in the tournament, but the fact is, it isn't. If Ole Miss wins tomorrow night against Auburn, and Arkansas wins tomorrow night, the Arkansas' game Sat. at Ole Miss will be for second place, If Ole miss wins the game Sat., they will finish second and receive the bye. It's obvious by their actions this week, the media of this state have no confidence in Pelphrey and the Razorbacks getting the first round bye.
That's why they want to give Pelphrey next year now on the back of the last two wins, and act as if the last three games really don't matter in the scope of the season. Talk about a bunch of people propping up a lame coach.
Their confidence in Pelphrey won't allow them to believe it can be done, but still yet their desperately trying to push him off on us for another year... I've said all along this media base is a bunch of sorry dogs propping Pelphrey up---could it be any clearer than it is now?
It's been said the last two days on three different shows, "Strength of schedule doesn't matter. The hogs have won four more games than they did last year, and that's improvement"..... Talk about a load of crap! Strength of schedule does matter and they know it----they just don't want to acknowledge it... Why is that?
