More tv eyes means people will not always inconvenience themself to go out.

Mike Irwin has put out a series of tweets commenting on the locker room drama of this year's team, like this:

Would be interesting to know the real story.

Irwin is a douche bag.

"Hey everybody!  The team just made the Sweet 16!  Instead of talking about that I want you all to know that I know that there was drama in the locker room all season long. I can't tell you the specifics but some day I will. Or maybe I won't.  But just know that I know some super secret things that you don't."

Fuck that guy. He doesn't know shit.

Like I said, guy doesn't know shit.  He just hears things. Fuck him to come out with this just as the team is peaking.

"rumors from supposed informed sources". that's nobville shit.

muss taking his shirt off probably upset his delicate sense of decorum.

I will say I know someone who has a friend on the staff. I don't have any details except he says it has been "a shit show" this year and he was almost ready to go back to the HS ranks.

I don't doubt it but to come out today with that tweet is a douche move.  Wait until the season is over.  What is the point in what Irwin did other than creating a "Look at me!" moment?

Well, ferret top is a moderator/admin on nobville, so that tracks.

Jim Harris has also put out some "look at me" type tweets this past week. Talking about how "dumb" this team is after beating Illinois and still harping on it even after the Kansas win.

Our bumblefuck media needs a thorough cleansing.

drama amid a basketball team during a season, say it isn't so!!!!

honestly, I've about drama every year Muss has been here.

glad the dude called Irwin out because he's right, that is the job of the media, but then the Razorback Nation is a big a cheerleading outfit as Hogs plus.

I have heard the same-- and last year too.  And it kinda makes sense, it you look at how our season went.

uh, what? reporting it would cause a distraction but tweeting about it doesn't ?

[jdcatty]

I am not a big Mike Irwin fan.  But I will say this.  "Unamed sources" are not always wrong.

The REAL story of this season is we made the sweet 16.

The REAL story of this season is we made the sweet 16.

Exactly. Drama or not, this did not look like a team capable of getting this far even as recently as two weeks ago.

That these clowns in the media decided to take that great comeback/feelgood story and make it about the drama (which happens to every team to some extent every year) is shameful.

I haven't heard any of the talk about the supposed drama behind the scenes.  I did notice I think it was Black and one of the twins jaw jacking at each other going into the locker room at half against Kansas.  I was surprised to see that at the time.

[vegashog]

it looked like mitchell didn't set the screen for that inbounds play. i think black let him know about it.

[animal]

These guys have nipped at each other at times all season long. In one of those games they were fighting each other harder than the opponent. It would not at all shock me that there was "drama" in the locker room. It's real easy on a message board to juxtaposition that a certain knee management issue caused some "drama" in the locker room among other things, so I can only imagine that the same occurs among sports writers moonlighting on a message board to get their hot takes. I'm hearing things in my head. Oh yes there it is.

[BleedinRed]

The fact that the "media" pushed this narrative today and the fans have picked up on it is the most Arkansas thing ever.   

We have made the Sweet 16 for the third straight year with a good change to advance to the final 8 for the same.  Why isn't that the topic the "media" wants to talk about?
