Have you been satisfied with the disciplinary actions Bobby Petrino has made with his players?
Overall, yes.
No, he could've handled some of them better.
It's not my place to say.

The Boll Weevil
7/2/2009 8:30:54 AM
We've seen the ads for kgb a few times already, a service to which you can text a question and receive an answer in mere moments for just 99 cents (Google is free, last we heard, but we digress.) The latest ad features none other than UA-Monticello's mascot, the Boll Weevil, as the answer to the somewhat discourteous question, "Is there any mascot stupider than an aardvark?" Our friend the Boll Weevil gets the last laugh in the spot, in addition to getting some national recognition. (Personally, we would've gone with the UCSC Banana Slug even though one could say it's so stupid, it's brilliant.)

The Washington County Sheriff's Department's Web site is like a corrupted Facebook of northwest Arkansas. Not only can you sometimes spot your favorite college athlete, but even the pro's are featured as well. Meet Dan Cortes, a talented pitcher for the Northwest Naturals who was caught urinating on a fence early yesterday morning. Cortes is currently free on $655 bond. It will be up to the Royals, the parent club of the Naturals affiliate, to issue any punishment. One thing's for sure: If Cortes ever gets called up to the majors, he'll already have one qualification for winning a Golden Glove.
