Weasel Bowl

Weasel Bowl Approaches: This Saturday it's Little Nicky Saban versus Bobby Petrino as Alabama meets Arkansas -- the first Weasel Bowl! Note the schools of the Weasel Three -- Saban, Petrino and Rich Rodriguez -- are a combined 13-8 since these extremely expensive promise-breakers arrived. They'd probably be a combined 13-9 if Arkansas' game at Texas had not been postponed by Hurricane Ike, and surely Arkansas boosters are now praying that meeting is never rescheduled. The 13 victories include wins over cupcakes Western Illinois, Western Kentucky, Western Carolina and Miami (Ohio). Between huge salaries, legal fees and buyouts, Alabama, Arkansas and Michigan have already spent about $20 million to get a mediocre 13-8 result. Considering the fantastic advantages in money and recruiting power possessed by Alabama, Arkansas and Michigan, orangutans could have coached them to 13-8.

LSU koolaid drinkers enjoy hearing that the Alabama vs. Arkansas game is being called the Weasel bowl. Both coaches left stuggling NFL teams and are now in collegiate football. I live in LSU land and hate their untrue fans since WHEN LSU starts losing again, they will no longer where their purple and yellow shirts. I will always support Alabama no matter the win/loss record and no matter who they select as coach. That is the sign of a true fan. Signed the BAMA girl

I will agree with everything here except that Arkansas does not have much recruiting power.
