I think if that is the case, an interim coach(Taver Johnson) will run the program this year, and at the end of season during the coaching carousel, a home run will be hired. At least this is my hope! Jeff

Thats what I said.....And they can fire me and air my dirty laundry. I just want 1 year!!!! Jeff

Mcgee( UAB HC) was our former oc, and would not be very likely to jump ship without even coaching his first HC game. Would leave a bad taste in the mouths of UAB fans, and for another job down the road. Tubby is one of my worst nightmares. Peterson makes 2 million a year. 3.65 sure is a lot more!!!! Jeff

Not saying anything bad about Vandy or Franklin. But if Hog Nation is gonna be happy and support a coach, it MUST be someone with much more background as a proven winner. With Nutt, Hog Nation was split and it did nothing good. When Petrino came along, it was still split due to his history of jumping around and being shady. Then with the success came unity. And now nothing less is expected. To ease the situation, a statement hire must be made. IMO....Chris Peterson. Others are touting Jimmy Johnson, Bo Pelini, big names. Gonna take a lot to smooth this over and the masses be happy. Just sayin.... Jeff

Check out this forum...it is totally dedicated to tin boats and a wealth of knowledge. I am also a member over there! http://www.tinboats.net/forum/ Jeff

Please no James Franklin.......or Gus.....or Tubby.....we need a tried and true, winning college HC, more than just 1 year! Jeff

Chris, I sense the same betrayal hatred from the two of us! You must be a Falcon fan? Jeff

As a long time diehard Hog fan, I am flying my flag at half mast and wearing black in mourning today. When the story first broke on Sunday, my first immediate reaction was that Arkansas would have to fire him to, "maintain the integrity of the University." I still stand by this decision, but at the same time am saddend by this. This year, we were poised to have the best year since I have been alive. With the shake-ups and turmoil going on now.....who knows? All because our fearless leader, wanted a piece on the side. I do agree that personal life and professional life should be seperate, and if that were the only problem here, he would have been retained. The fact is, he hired his mistress to keep her quite. Also gave her a sum of $20,000, towards a "new car". Also hush money. Then he not only lied to the public in his "media day" about the wreck, but he also lied to the Chancelor and the AD, in hopes that nothing would come out. Then, only once he found out the police report would contain all of the passenger info, did he decide to come clean. This is snake like. Not that we wouldn't expect this from Petrino....he has shown in the past poor judgement. But in NCAA football, winning is key. There have been tons of scandals and such that have rocked NCAA coaches, that were retained. And CBP would have been, if not for the lies and coverups he did. Dumb move on his part, and I just hope no other NCAA sanctions fall on the University because of his dumb actions. If so, we will have to live with those too, as we were the ones who hired him. I just hope we hire the same lawyers Auburn did, so that we come away with our NC this year and nothing happens to us, all just brushed under the rug!!!!!!! :eyebrows: :eyebrows: Possible hires: Butch Davis is not going to be on our list, as EPSN said. We are not jumping from one scandal to another Jimmy Johnson is retired and will stay there...thanks again ESPN Gus Malzahn left a horrible taste in the mouth of Arkansas after the Mitch Mustain debackle. I don't know why he would be in the running other than his High school experience in Arkansas, In my book these are LIKELY candidates: Chris Peterson(HC Boise ST) Kirby Smart(DC Alabama- defense wins championships, something that has eluded my hogs) Gary Patterson(HC TCU) Art Briles(Baylor) Kyle Wittingham(last coach to "out coach" Saban)??? LOL My hopes are that the University of Arkansas will realize that we spent top dollar to achieve the success with a coach the past 4 years, and will do the same again! Top tier coaching, provides top tier recruits/play!!! Wooooo Pig Soieeeeee!!!! Jeff

First and foremost, thank you for your service! Secondly, nice bass! My guess on the difference in spawn times would either be dirtier water, or maybe one is spring fed, causing it to have cooler water. Is the later of the two ponds always full? Jeff

I have shot one, but don't own one. It was ok, in the grand scheme of things! Jeff

That is what I am thinking....and smaller spooks to! What about frogs.....the rest require casting gear to me, but I think a m/f spinning rod and light line for topwater would be fun! Just open water stuff though, no lilly pads or heavy cover. Jeff

Blasphemy.......ok, well I have a whole box dedicated to topwater.....if you need to borrow something, I probably have it... Jeff

anybody use one? Was thinking it would make wtd lures/popping more fun......and the fight as well! Jeff

I only hope so!!! Jeff

J_ what the heck happened there? Jeff

Unfortunately they can. Most grass carp are put into ponds to control weeds and they are sterile. Around here, we have a bad asian carp problem. They eat a lot of vegetation, that affects the entire food chain. Which in sense affects the bass population. Jeff

oh boy oh boy oh boy......ya'll might have to pry the topwater rod out of my hands!!!!! Jeff

I think neither! LOL Jeff

Ahh...maybe I nee more coffee! Jeff

I know you also fish moaner hooks! Maybe you should drink a little more coffee to wake up this morning! Jeff

Winds are by far my least favorite....anything over 12 with my aluminum boats becomes a pain! Jeff

I never do anything that I am too old to do! BTW, I cannot find the pic where i was "really" riding the bull! Jeff

Wow! Congrats! You don't know the water temp do you? Over here, the water dropped 6.5 degrees over the past week, and I saw 0 signs of anything going on yesterday....really has me kind of shocked and looking for answers.... Jeff

Nice! That should really help for early mornings and late nights! Jeff
