I can see the defense improving under his tutledge and I belive next year they will be very tough. <br /><br />I personally feel Bo Mattingly is the best Sports talk person and this state should be thankful to have him. We just need to get him to tell it like it is. <br /><br />As for Rick Schaffer, he is simply a company man. I think he loves the Razorbacks, but he is full of it.<br /><br />I could never do my own show. It's very funny to me that anyone thinks I could. Thank you though.Tim from Little rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13589434050918247322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888924208819661485.post-9675941794055760512011-01-18T08:17:30.018-06:002011-01-18T08:17:30.018-06:00I look forward to your explanation but before your...I look forward to your explanation but before your give your explanation, any facts need to include your sources.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888924208819661485.post-11054596265336620302011-01-17T20:44:29.059-06:002011-01-17T20:44:29.059-06:00Tim, I have to say that you are the only reason I ...Tim, I have to say that you are the only reason I listen to Bo's show. That also goes for a growing number of other listeners I have talked to in the past several months. All the guys on 103.7 are afraid to call it like it is because they will not get the interviews they need to continue with a job. Can't blame them for self preservation, but it is nice to hear the truth once in awhile, so we in Arkansas are glad to hear when you call the shows. With that being said, you really need to "keep it real" when it comes to Willie Robinson. Willie is the worst. When his supporters say "well, he shut Ohio St. down in the second half" , you of all people should know that he did nothing in the second half. Ohio St. simply went conservative because they had such a huge lead. Anyone would know there was a 95% chance they were going to run in the second half, the wanted to run out the clock. Robinson cannot stop anyone when they open their offense on us. Please quit supporting the tyrant and keep it real. I only hope they are not getting to you as well, because that is what it looks like when you defend Willie. Don't get me wrong, I still support your efforts with regard the basketball program, but I am afraid you have made a big mistake on Willie. Please think about my Ohio St. example and let me know that you have changed your mind. When you do, I will pushing for you to get your own show. Trust me, if you can tell the truth, your new show will be number one and crush Bo, Rick, Randy and the other guys who are afraid to call it like it is. But if you don't see the light on Willie , I fear you will not get your own show because it will look like you are sucking up to the powers just like the others are doing. If you do the right thing, I think your show will make you a millionaire. We would all listen to you over those other guys because they just say the same thing over and over again. If it were left up to Rick and Bo we would still have Jack Crowe as a coach along with Heath. They can never say what is true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888924208819661485.post-8224753277607195272011-01-17T14:48:45.140-06:002011-01-17T14:48:45.140-06:00I appreciate the optimism, but someone needs to ex...I appreciate the optimism, but someone needs to explain to you a few things.

First of all, when he came to Arkansas there were 13 recruits committed under Stan Heath and of those 13 only 1 was qualified to play. Whose fault was that, not Pelphry's. By the way as far as your facts, if you have them then you need to cite your sources because if you don't you are committing plagerism which brings a lot more punishment than $25. All Pelphry has done other than win is work to clean the program up and weed out the bad people on the team. If you ask me the reason Pelphry hasn't been able to put together a winning team is because he's had to spend more time dealing with selfish kids who think they can get away with anything and everything. Why do you think the top teir coaches weren't blowing down the door to come to Arkansas, there were problems that dated back to well before Pelphry was hired. He stepped into a situation and was willing to do all he could to turn the problem around. Pelphry unlike Heath understood basketball at Arkansas. You can call me gullible or brain washed by the media but I for one think Pelphry needs a chance with the kids he has coming in next year. Heck I can remember people saying the same thing about Nolan prior to Day, Maberry, and Miller arriving on campus. That's not to say Pelphry is equal to Nolan, far from it but afer those three showed up things changed in the minds of the fans and I see the same thing happening with the class coming in next year. <br /><br />Pelphry used to be an assitant to Billy Donovan at Florida, I wonder what the first few years were like at Florida under Donovan before he took the gators to back to back championships? Those guys come from the same line of coaches who played for or coached under Rick Petino so to say a guy like Pelphry can't coach is like saying a fish can't swim or a bird can't fly. The man knows the X's and O's of college basketball, he may not come across as the smartest guy in his interviews but neither does Les Miles at LSU or George Bush when he was president. Les Miles won a national championship at LSU and has LSU poised to make a run next year.<br /><br />I'm not saying Pelphry is going to take this team to the final 4 next year or win a national championship but what I am saying is if he is fired, my fear is the best coaches in the land will be afraid to come to Arkansas for fear the fans will be on them so fast if he isn't producing in the first couple years and everyone will be asking for him to be fired. There needs to be some shine restored to the Arkansas basketball coaching job and as along as their are bringing in a guy for 3 or 4 years only to cut him loose for not satisfying the fans, heck I wouldn't want to coach at Arkansas either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
