A small thing, but another sign of the times.  The NBA doesn't list "College" any more.  I was looking up Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves (I thought he was Kentucky), and saw that it is now listed as LAST ATTENDED.  (His was Georgia).

I guess when you're on a new team every year LAST ATTENDED makes as much sense as anything.

Blake Boda, QB from Coastal Carolina will visit the Razorbacks next week according to somebody on the internet.

Boda was committed to UNLV for the 25 minutes that Petrino was there. A 2 star prospect out of high school.

If Petrino thinks he can play QB, he can play QB.

Why the fuck is Neighbors still here?  What has he done to deserve another year?

Watching women's college basketball soar in popularity while we let our program fall to shit is very Arkansas-ish.

We got Cal though so I'm willing to ignore the women's program issues for another year.

He has a buyout.  If he stays one more year he doesn't. 

There is no point in throwing good money after bad for a sport few care much about. 

[PorkyPig]

I guess, but damn.  Next year is going to be a real turd.

I'm convinced every viewer of the Lady backs basketball squad is a woopig member. All 8 of you.

I tried watching a few games last year.  I couldn't do more than a few trips up and down the court.  It was tough to watch.

Now I'll say this, it doesn't seem like it is just the Ladybacks. 

There are 4-8 elite teams in the country which are a pleasure to watch.  There still miss layups and such but the game is actually a much more pure product.  Once you get past those 4-8 teams though the quality diminishes greatly.

I think the Women's NCAA tournament beginning at the Elite 8 will grow in popularity but all the other games will be tuned out.  Clark played like a guy from a jump shot perspective which isn't most women.  She was exciting and there was a compelling story to go along with her game.  Now that she is gone I think it reverts back to what it has always been.

That and the fact she was on track to, and did, break pistol pete's all time scoring record. These kind of things only happen generationally.

Funny enough, her NIL deals made her more money than her professional salary will. People know who she is but not hardly any WNBA players.
