@TJCarpenterShow – tj@hogsportsradio.com – Arkansas has traditionally been in the bottom third of the conference despite doing well nationally in recruiting. Many fans are frustrated with a lack of improvement in that department when it comes to how Arkansas is seen by most national recruiting services. All that will change with their next class. Anderson gets ready to take on another opponent on the road in hoops. Linsanity reaches Northwest Arkansas, but lets not make this about race, because it isn’t. Chris Bahn talks about Nolan getting the red carpet treatment for 40 Minutes of Hell. Kurt Helin breaks down Linsanity. Alex Mortensen talks about this past weekend’s combine.
Today on the show we are on location, and discuss the recent decision to veto the Paul to LA trade by David Stern. We also talk about James Harrison and why there is a double standard in the NFL when it comes to fining players. Joe Adams is up for the Paul Hourning Award and should win it in a landslide. Arkansas’ search for a new defensive coordinator continues. We talk with Kurt Helin of probasketballtalk.com about the NBA and Tom Murphy of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette about Petrino’s Cotton Bowl press conference being about everything but the Cotton Bowl.
Arkansas has had a tumultuous past few days as Offensive Coordinator Garrick McGee took the head coaching job at UAB, John L Smith took the head coaching position at Weber State, and today defensive coordinator Willy Robinson resigned. McGee has been replaced by former Arkansas offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, but the other two positions remain unfilled. With any successful program there is turnover. Everyone wants a piece of what makes YOU great as a program. But the monster must be fed. Fans expect wins. Today I ask the question, what’s next Bobby? We also talk about the insanity of trading a first ballot hall of fame quarterback for an unproven draft pick… I’m looking at you Indianapolis. Also, will a new Big 3 be formed in LA as Dwight Howard and Chris Paul mull over their options in trades and free agency. Hey, I’d want to play with Kobe. Robbie Neiswanger of the Arkansas news Bureau breaks down Paul Petrino’s impact on the Razorbacks. John Pennington of MrSEC.com gives you his Heisman ballot. John Engleman of KFSM Channel 5 breaks the news of Willy Robinson’s departure. Kurt Helin of NBC Sports talks about LeBron’s pursuit of a title and the subtleties of the Lakers ploy for a remade dynasty.
Today we talk about the why so many people are taking offense at Bobby Petrino taking offense. Did LSU intentionally run up the score? What’s next for the BCS? Are you looking forward to an Alabama-LSU rematch in the national title. Because at this point it is pretty much assured. What did Jim Boeheim know and not know about Bernie Fine? It all comes down to lying. That will get you fired every time as a head coach, not the crime your player or assistant coach committed. Chris Bahn of Arkansas Sports 360 talks some Hog Football. Kurt Helin of NBC Sports is back and just happy the NBA is too.

Arkansas fans and media have made some pretty bad arguments in the past in favor of keeping game in Little Rock; this is by far the worst. Tim Tebow can only end his time in Denver two ways. Romo is still the victim of fair weather Cowboys fan ignorance. Texas Longhorn fans need to expect more and Notre Dame fans need to expect way less. Also an update on the NBA lockout from Kurt Helin of probasketballtalk.com on NBC Sports.
On the show today we talk about why the Texans should be considered contenders this year in the NFL, what are your bold predictions for the NFL? Is Ndomukong Suh a dirty player? Some think so. Mitch Smothers is the latest newcomer to be making waves in the preseason practices for Arkansas. Jim Thome is only the 8th player in MLB history to hit 600 home runs. Does that make him a Hall of Famer? Arkansas offensive Coordinator Garrick McGee talks about Arkansas progress in preseason camp. Kurt Helin of Probasketballtalk.com talks about what it’s going to take to get something done in the NBA lockout, and why he may have to resort to posting videos of kittens doing adorable things on NBC Sports if the lockout doesn’t end soon. Jimmy Carter of CBS Sports discusses Arkansas practice and the lack of depth in the secondary.
Today’s show is all about Mike Anderson. Although we did get to talk some about the NBA, Chicago Bulls in the East and two big predictions about the upcoming MLB season. Kurt Helin of probasketballtalk.com talks NBA. Chris Bahn of Arkansas Sports 360 talks about the hire.
