Mike Anderson

Mike Anderson has come on board as the new coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks.  Mike Anderson's opening press conference was like a religious revival.  Mike Anderson says if he is wrestling a bear, that you better come help the bear.  Mike Anderson says that if he is playing checkers with his grandmother, look out Grandma, I am playing to win.

Mike Anderson is saying all of the right things.  It will be several months to see if he can deliver.

Go Hogs.

Rumors Fly on Coaching Search

Depends on who you listen to as to what you think.  

The folks at HawgsSports.com — the Rivals site for Arkansas — are now reporting the following:


UA will have a basketball coach in the next 48 hours.  I now think it will be Mike Anderson.  This has been a two horse race with Buzz (Williams) and Mike and I now think there will be a press conference either Wednesday or Thursday presenting the new basketball coach, and I think it is Mike.


That from Otis Kirk of the HawgSports site.

I believe that Agent Jimmy Sexton is playing the rumor game to get his client more money.

That is the bottom line.

Mike Anderson to Coach.

Good sources close to this blogger have confirmed that Mike Anderson will be announced tomorrow as the next Coach of the Arkansas Razorback Basketball team.

The next question that most will have is the fact as to whether or not the great recruiting class of John Pelphrey will continue to come to Arkansas. 

A source close to this blogger has confirmed that Mike Anderson and Jeff Long have made a possible contact with each and they agree that they will play for Mike Anderson.

There you have it.  Internet Blogger Fact.

March Madness - Arkansas is Mad

Why is Arkansas so mad during March Madness?  Well the reason is that Arkansas now has no men's teams in the tournament.

There is always next year we say.  How many years have we said that.  It has been since 1994 and the Nolan Richardson error of great basketball.

We are now looking for a new coach that can bring us to the big dance again. 

Who will that coach be -  Mike Anderson?  - Don't think so..

What do you think?

FACTS

SEC TOURNAMENT OVER

PELPHREY GONE

BRING ON A NEW COACH THAT CAN WIN!

SIGNED A RAZORBACK FAN.

Arkansas, John Pelphrey and Apple Pie.

What do these three things have in common is the question of the day.  Most of you know:

• Arkansas is a state that loves its Razorback football and basketball programs.

• John Pelphrey is the current coach of the Arkansas Razorback Basketball Hogs

• Apple Pie is something that is still liked even after John Pelphrey is fired.

What do you think.  If John Pelphrey does not win the SEC tournament will he still be the coach when Monday comes.

Safe on the Border of Mexico

You know it is safe on the Border towns of Mexico when you read this story. 

------

The farther south Bart drove, the more worried he became.  He sold 1,000 Mexican steers to a feedyard and they insisted he had to be at the border when the cattle were crossed.  His concern was that with all of the recent border violence, combined with his innate ability to be at the wrong spot at the right time for a disaster, it was likely something really bad was going to happen to him. 

 

By the time he reached the border town, Bart was as nervous as a deer on a firing range.  With his survival instincts at a fever pitch, he astutely checked into a motel with an adjoining restaurant that was farthermost from the border.  And with a bunker mentality that rivaled Hitler's, Bart vowed that after he had dinner, he was going to seclude himself in his room for the night.  While eating, he struck up a conversation with a guy at the next table. 
"You ever think about moving to a safer place to live?" Bart asked. 
 
The man replied, "A lot of what you see on the news is exaggeration.  It's just not that bad down here.  My wife and I live in a nice neighborhood, our kids go to excellent schools, and we have good jobs." 
Greatly relieved, Bart asked, "What do you do here?" 
 
The guy answered, "I'm the tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."

Geko Jokes in Arkansas

I ran onto this copy for a t- shirt – thought it was pretty good.

Hope no one is offended.  

Hogs, Clark, Pelphrey and Gas

What are the relationships between the Arkansas Razorbacks, Rotnei Clark, John Pelphrey and the Price of Gas.

Well, this could be a real puzzle.  The Hogs are very unpredictable.  The price of Gas is unpredictable.  One day it was 2.99 at Walmart the next day it was $3.25 then back down to 3.15.   The Hogs play great one day and beat Kentucky right after they play lousy and get beat by a poor team. 

As for as John Pelphrey - one game he is relaxed and non-demonstrative.  The next game he seems to be out of his gourd.  

Rotnei Clark - great three point shooter one game the next game he can't hit a three pointer but is inside shooting and even blocks a shot.

I just don't understand it all.   $ 65 to fill up with gas?

President Obama Turns into Dictator

"President Obama has instructed the Justice Department to stop defending the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which has since 1996 allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex partnerships legally recognized in other states."

How can our President tell the Justice department what to defend and not defend.  Especially when it is the law of the land.  Why not just declare it a communist state and move on.

What are we coming to.

Satellite TV

Satellite TV is in most peoples opinion the best way to get that television reception that you deserve.  Many people have to choose between satellite Television and cable.  Many of those choices are made toward Satellite Television and the great selection, variety and value that it brings to its many users.  
Well, If you are wanting Satellite television the one that I hear advertised most in my area is Direct TV .  So the question that is posed here is whether or not it is the best way to go.  Most of the people that I have talked to says that it is a great buy and it works very well in rural Arkansas where we live.  These people say that it is a great value for the amount of programming that is brought to you through its services. 
So if you want to use satellite television and you think that this might be the best plan for your viewing entertainment then you may want to check into how the best way is to get this service and the best choices for it.  You will want to know what the cost is and the programming is that you will receive.
Those are my thoughts on this.

Stock Car and Star Spangled Banner

I was watching the beginning of the Daytona 500 today and watched Martina McBride sing the Star Spangled Banner.   To start with she ain't no Christina Aguilar because Martina knew the words.  Isn't that amazing that a country star can sing the Star Spangled Banner and get all of the words right.

The second thing that was a surety that Martina sang the song without a whole lot of Garbling.  The song was sung like it was written with respect and pride. 

Anybody see a pattern here.   Country stars seem to get it right and sing it right.  Others seem to get it messed up and they seem to think they have to put a lot in there that is not necessary.

When Does the Big One Hit?

Magnitude - 2.4
Depth - 5km
Date - 18 FEB 2011 12:50:41
Location - Faulkner County, 3 miles NE from Greenbrier, AR





The above information is becoming something that I look at all too often here in Central Arkansas.  Twelve earthquakes have been recorded since midnight last night and seventeen the day before.  At least two of these quakes were 4.0 or over.  


The thing that worries me is that all of these are happening within about 2 miles of my office.  There are some that are directly west of my office and most are just to the northeast of my office.  This may mean that there is a crack in the earth somewhere down there that goes right under may office.


If the big one comes, will I go down?


That is the question.

Valentine's Day

Looks like it is going to be a beautiful Valentine's day for Arkansas today.  

Get out and take your wife out and have a beautiful and wonderful day of love.

Find a romantic outdoor place and hold her hand and tell her you love her.

That is what it is like here in Arkansas.

Enough Snow already

In case you can't read the sign in the snow it says " If you have had enough cold weather and snow, raise your hand. Are you under there somewhere?

Cold in Arkansas - heat it up with Sports Illustrated SI

It is cold in Arkansas.  There is lots of snow in Arkansas.  There needs to be lots of hot people in Arkansas. 

Publish Post

I wonder what it would be like to have a Sports Illustrated Swim Suit photo shoot with all of those hot women in Arkansas today.  Would those still be hot women or would they be as cold as I am.

I wonder if they could get into the cold water of the lake here and make it steamy hot.  I wonder what the results would be.  Would these hot women make any difference to global warming.

I doubt that any of this would happen.  What are your thoughts.?

Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening

I took these pictures yesterday near Lexington Arkansas.  Reminded me of the poem as I stopped to take the pictures.
---------------------------------------------
 Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

What Hogs Show

The Razorbacks get two chances this week to redeem themselves.  My guess is that they will lose both.

They are sick.  They stink.  The hogs Suck

John Pelphrey is a terrible coach.

The team is terrible.

They will never get any better with Pelphrey there.

Do you want to know how I really feel.
