Over the last three month's, the media of this state have managed their way through the rocky course that challenged them after Arkansas lost to Georgia in the SEC Tournament. Arkansas had dumped seven of their last eight games and the media found themselves clueless about what to say to the fans. Back earlier in the season, after the Razorbacks managed a five game win streak, this media base ecstatically proclaimed, "Pelphrey is the man". The media thought they had succeeded in keeping Pelphrey propped up and Mike Anderson out. They jumped to these conclusions way too soon and I told them so. I knew the win streak bared no facts or evidence contrary to what had already been judged about Pelphrey by the fans. The win streak came on the back of teams with a combined RPI rating of 115, and could hardly be called impressive. However, the media acted like this team had climbed a mountain of conquest. They acted like John Pelphrey was really coming into his own. Bo Mattingly said, "some of you are starting to see the real John Pelphrey, your getting to know him". Bo acted as if all those that claimed Pelphrey was a terrible coach had crow to eat. Well, it was Bo and his cronies that should've been eating crow after the seven of eight game losing streak, and the embarrassing loss to Georgia in the SEC tournament. They should have ate crow and then apologised for ever using John Pelphrey and the words "good coach" together in the same sentence.
Over the next few days I will be writing everything I know about the lengthy Fortson suspension, about the media's ploy this past season concerning Fortson, and their subsequent ploys at the end of the season---Ricardo Ratliff, Mark Gottfried, James Dickey, hiring AAU coaches, and what it all means for the fan----It's not good.
Over the next few days, I'm going to take shots at the media, Jeff Long, and John Pelphrey. What has went on here is criminal and I'm fixing to tell my readers how.
