Courtney Fortson has shown that he can step up and do the job. The next thing that they have to do to continue to win is find ways to get Rotnei Clark in the open.
All of this goes to show that John Pelphrey can coach. He just has to have the players that want to.
When he gets some more skilled bodies and talent - the team my turn this thing around in a year or two.
Just Saying = Pants on the ground.
I gave up on the Hogs at halftime and only flipped channels to see how they were doing a couple of times in the second half. When I flipped over and the game was tied I was thinking unbelievable.
However, they really worked to pull it out. Courtney Fortson looked good in last few minutes and Rotnei Clark is very unselfish.
The question is can they keep the intensity up or will it fall off on Saturday.
Lets root them on.
I am in the home lending industry. One of the hottest topics of the day is the Housing Stimulus.
I know of several people who are buying at this time to get the benefits of this tax credit. This is a relief to them to be able to get the home bought but to also have some money for things like furnishings and other things.
If someone is thinking about buying a home for the first time or if it is the first home that you have owned in three years, this is the time to do it. Just think of it. There is available to you up to an $8,000 tax credit that you can get for buying that home. That is just like being able to get $8,000 to use as you see fit. How can that be wrong.
One of the things to do if this applies to you or if you are thinking of buying is to review this great video on that subject. Check out the video. It tells you what you need to do, how you will receive the credit, what it takes to be eligible and much more. This is a no brainer if you are thinking of buying a home.

The question this week whether or not the Arkansas Razorbacks - the Hogs - can come back after the 101 - 70 licking that they took at the hands of the Kentucky Wildcats and perform at all. Thursday night the Razorbacks under John Pelphrey are playing Mississippi State in Fayetteville.
The other question of the week is "will the fans come out and support the Hogs?"
The talk shows have been overwhelmed this week so far with the call for John Pelphrey's resignation. There is a belief that the basketball team is going nowhere.
What are your thoughts on the program. Can it be saved. Should John Pelphrey Go. Should the team stop playing basketball and join the water polo team.
Just saying --- Pants on the Ground. Pants on the Ground.
Well, it was only two years ago that I attended the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The only problem was that I decided too late that we were going to attend. My desire would have been to have Houston Rodeo concert tickets but since I was so late in deciding to go the tickets were not available.
You see some friends from West Texas were showing animals in the livestock show and we decided that we would support them by attending the show. Well, that gives the idea that it would be good to attend the rodeo and concert so we thought about buying tickets for that.
It is too bad that at the time we were unaware of TeamOne Tickets because we certainly might have gotten tickets there at a reasonable price. Yes, it would have been nice to attend because it would have brought back memories of when I attended the Houston Rodeo about 34 years ago.
That is a time so far back that it is difficult to remember. However, I do remember that it was a great time and a great show.
So if you are looking to be anywhere in the Houston area during that time, it would be a great adventure to attend this great event.
That is what I have to say about that.
Sauger fish is something that I was not familiar with. The River Valley section of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette this weekend had a great article on fishing for these on the Arkansas River in the cold of the winter.
Sounds like fun except for the cold weather part. The story told that these fish were good to catch below the dams on the river. Well, since I live about four miles from the lock and dam I believe that I might just try it this weekend.
I have never seen a sauger or whats more I have not fished much. Must be time to start.
Tickets to the Nationals Final Rodeo are something that every good rodeo fan will cherish. Yes, to go to the greatest Rodeo event of the year is something of pure excitement, thrill and just a great time for everyone.
I have never been to the Nationals Final Rodeo but to get good tickets to it I would certainly consider going to TeamOne Tickets and checking out the great seats and the great prices. It would be an experience of a life time if you can get the time to go see this great event.
One of my favorite events of any rodeo is the bull riding. I have been involved in junior rodeos and some professional rodeos and bull riding events as an arena hand and spectator. There is nothing like the thrill of the great monster bull coming out of the shoot with a 200 pound man hanging on for dear life. The thrill of that must be something that can not be imagined.
Bull riding along with some of the skilled roping events are also my favorites. Man against beast with skill involved is also very interesting.
All I can say is that if you can find the time you should take the chance to go and experience the thrill of the event. It will be a time that you will remember for ever.
The weekend holds another Arkansas Razorback football game. The games are more fun to watch now that Courtney Fortson is back. It is still odd, however, that the hogs can hang with a good team but they just can't beat them.
What they need is another person that can hit an occasional three point shot. Relying solely on Rotnei Clark to do that is tough. They double him up as they come down court to keep him from shooting and this should free up someone else. However, no one else can lay in a consistent three and therefore they are no threat.
We have to rely on Courtney to go recklessly inside or Rotnei to shoot quick from the outside.
Arkansas needs some help.
Go Hogs.
Have you heard of the Casio gshock watch. These are great looking watches that are very stylish and very practical in today's active life style. This looks like a watch that I might want to have for when I am Scuba Diving. More inspection is necessary to check that out.
That would be a great idea. Valentine's Day is coming and I could get my wife a lovely watch from BlueDial and then could certainly hint that it would be great if she were to get me a selection from the Casio gshock selection. Do you think that this idea might work?
I could tell her that this would be great for us to exchange lovely watches on Valentine's Day during our 31st year together. I could tell her how much she means to me as the mother of our lovely grown daughter. I could let her know that she is greatly appreciated all of these years as she has taken care of me and given me great support.
Does it sound like it is working? Maybe she will read this post and know that the watch I want is pictured here.
We can exchange watches, save money because it's always time to day "I love you"
Coach Lewis Campbell is coming back to Arkansas. He was a player and then a coach at Arkansas Razorbacks for many years and then left during the Petrino beginnings.
Today I heard that he is coming back to Arkansas as a high School head coach at Sheridan. This is good news for Arkansas and good news for Sheridan. He will bring winning and integrity to a small town program. Not saying anything wrong with their program now, but it can't hurt with him at the reins.
Way to Go Coach Campbell.
Pants on the Ground - Pants on the Ground. - I was just saying.
