Arkansas in ESPN’s 2011 College Football Recruiting Top 20
Posted by Adam Butler on August 16, 2010
For those of you who don’t follow recruiting, even when Arkansas has a good class, they are never ranked this highly (especially this early in the process) by ESPN and other national outlets. This is primarily because those services generally don’t get down here to evaluate as many players as they do in other, more fertile recruiting areas.

SCOTUS Affirms Decision of Judge to Fine “Birther” Attorney
Posted by Adam Butler on August 16, 2010
The attorney in question was fined pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. My Civil Procedure professor (a very smart man from West Texas) explained Rule 11 to us succintly when he said it means, “Don’t make shit up.”

Arkansas Baseball MLB Signing Day Deadline Blog

is here courtesy of the good folks at Hawgs Illustrated (be sure to click the banner ad at the top of the page that helped take down the pay wall for that link).
It’s shaping up to be a bloody day for Hog Baseball. Zack Cox, Brett Eibner and Drew Smyly should sign. Collin Kuhn looks like he is coming back to school. Ryne Stanek is one to watch. He is a stud. My guess is he signs, too.

BREAKING NEWS: GATOR HAT GATE 2010 TAKES A COLD-BLOODED TURN
Posted by Adam Butler on August 16, 2010
Gork didn't wear this to the UA Press Conference Saturday, but maybe should should have gotten her money's worth.
The good folks at Arkansassports360.com are reporting that Hog Sports Radio employee Renee Gork has been fired.
They do a better job than I will of re-”cap”ping the situation, but for those who missed it, Gork, a Florida grad, made the really dumb decision to wear a Gators cap to a UA press conference this weekend and ask the Head Hog, Bobby Petrino, a question. Petrino answered, but wasn’t happy, and let her know it.
Hog fans everywhere didn’t appreciate it, or other public comments she allegedly made about her job covering the Hogs (as opposed to the Gators), either. After several complaints, Capshaw was fired.
I personally don’t think the hat thing is a big deal but I am sure her employers didn’t like all the attention, or even the implication that she might be a Florida wonk that would prefer wonking for Florida.
It was a dumb mistake–particularly when you add in the fact that she is a Gator alum, and the Hogs lost were jobbed in Gainesville last year.
