There were only about 200 people at the “Team Save Coach Petrino” rally last night, but what the crowd lacked in numbers it made up for in religious fervor…

understanding…
the command of grammar we’ve come to associate with Petrino’s supporters in the Arkansas fan base…
and a certain delusional detachment that’s comedy gold, Jerry.
“… I wouldn’t ask him for marriage counseling, but at the same time we’re supportive of him and we want him to do well.”
For now, I think Petrino’s a lock to keep his job, but, man, at the first sign of adversity (translation: a seven-win season) these people are going to turn on him in a heartbeat.

Wow. These supporters are certainly well connected. They have already consulted Jesus. I thought only Tim Tebow had those kind of connections.

It’s curious. There are no minorities in any of the pictures. So what? It hints that all were recruited or gathered from a specific population. In other words, this is not a impromptu gathering of typical Arkansas fans, (although I have no doubt that if a vote were taken across the whole of the Porcine Nation, Petrino would easily and surely survive). There’s just something about these SEC schools that start with an “A”. Personal character and morals be damned if the man can manage nine or ten wins every year. Hire the devil himself if he can win a national championship.
As for me and my house….we’ll continue to be thankful for CMR.

I think that with the use of the exclamation point, Mr. Jorts is saying that to define is inappropriate. From an existential standpoint that is pretty profound.

Innappropriate (in.a.pro.pri.ate) Adjective…describing behavior that is not consistent with societal norms. (e.g. riding a motorcycle with a young woman who could be your daughter, whom you’ve hired to be on your staff, while married to another woman your age with whom you’ve raised a family…and crashing then covering-up the circumstances of the accident including soliciting the help of your state-funded policy trooper escort.)
Seriously…they need help with that definition?!

I take this as a good sign. We must have solved literally every single one of society’s problems if the only thing these people have left to get fired up about is coming to the defense of an adulterous football coach who lied to his boss.
So long, poverty, drug abuse, absentee parents, racism and homelessness! Nice knowing you . . . NOT!

Seriously, though, I don’t see where she wasn’t qualified for the position. So long as it was a publicly funded job and posted properly, there isn’t any reason she wouldn’t have been hired beyond you know, her “friendship,” with the head coach. *snicker*

Last I heard, Miss Piggy is headed for the Ozarks. She was goin’ on about “riding his big hog” or vice versa.
Meanwhile , many bloggers on this site are preparing to journey to Porker Haven to see if he is interested in coming at UGA. They are carrying a list of promiscuous women who will arrive later with “W”s around their necks signifying they want a “winner” like Petrino and will try to entice him back to Georgia after his earlier surprise exit. They exitedly exclaimed, ” We aren’t getting some pig in a poke, we are getting a pig AND a poke”. Ah yes, the big hog-ridin’ pig poker is riding high in his poles.
