SEC Media Tabs Arkansas

Posted by Adam Butler on July 23, 2010

2nd in the West.

As, expected, Alabama and Florida were picked to win the divisions, and Bama was chosen as the SEC Champ.  And, I think if LSU finishes as predicted (and it should) “The Hat” will be on the hot seat by November in Baton Rouge.

Three UA offensive players made the Preseason All-SEC team, but once again, a receiving corps that collectively (generally) regarded as one of the best in the nation fails to get a nod. I kinda like it. Between this preseason, and the remarkably unjust snub of UA WR Greg Childs last postseason, I think the UA wide receivers will have a nice big chip on their shoulders this year.

Northwest Corridor Report for 7/23/10

Posted by Jeff on July 23, 2010

Kids, don't do drugs or you'll end up running for public office under the delusion that non-mushroom-eaters will vote for you.

Former Green Party candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives Abel Tomlinson is running for the District 92 seat to the Arkansas House of Representatives. Tomlinson has had some run-ins with the law including his most recent which included him leaving his running car on College Avenue and climbing a tree in front of the Washington County Courthouse. I can’t make this up.

"I'll make Fayetteville as popular as the NFL on Fox!"

Fayetteville’s city council voted this week to pay $19,800 to be featured on “Today in America,” hosted by Terry Bradshaw. The five minute spot will be similar to a short infomercial.

The UofA is expecting record enrollment this fall and because of it, they are looking for beds for kids to sleep in.

The City of Springdale will no longer require victims of graffiti to clean it up. Instead the city will do it for them.

It’s over. Fired Washington County jailer, Jessie Lunderby did not appeal her termination for posing nude for Playboy.com.

It’s not over. Benton County Judge Dave Bisbee wants the county to pay his attorney fees for defending himself against charges that he hired his own company to do county work.

President Clinton will be returning to Arkansas in August for a speech in Springdale.

Enjoy your weekend!
