The Return of the Podcast: It won’t work Mr. Slive

Well, after a couple months and an address change, the podcast is BACK! It’s as simple as we make it. Mike Slive wants to make it harder to be a good program in college football. While the intention of his new proposals are noble, putting said proposals into practice would be nearly impossible and ultimately damaging to college sports. So why not think it through? Arkansas’ defense and not their offense will determine whether Arkansas is worthy of SEC and National Title crowns. Also, the NFL lockout is ending and Joe thinks Felix Jones was a bust. (That’s just crazy talk)

PODCAST: Tressel on the chopping block, Arkansas in the West, NBA Playoffs

On today’s show we talk about the news the broke about Jim Tressel, who in the eyes of the NCAA was less than honest. Surprises in the NBA playoffs are in the form of Boston sweeping and LA tied with New Orleans. Explain that one to me. The NFL is officially on for next season, at least for the time being. What no one is talking about that will dramatically affect LSU and Alabama’s national title hopes. Matt Moore of CBS Sports talks about the NBA playoffs. Bruce Hooley of Fox Sports Ohio talks about what is next for Tressel and Ohio State.

PODCAST: How much does Mallett’s character matter? Precipice year for Petrino coming?

On today’s show we talk about how much Ryan Mallett’s character actually matters. If you are an NFL GM, you have to ask two things before you get to character in my opinion. Do his teammates and coaches respect him? How much success did he have in college and can he duplicate it in the NFL? Does character matter if the answer to both of those questions is yes? Will this coming season be a year in which Arkansas can only progress or digress? There is no plateau possibility next season. How would you view and identical season to last year? two BCS losses? Is LA better when Kobe Bryant isn’t? Kobe got 11 last night and they won by 9, he shoots 50% and goes off in game one and they lose. Just saying. What is Peyton Manning’s value as a football player and what would his value be in an uncapped year with no franchise tag? And what does his value as a player say about how absurd the NFL owners’ argument is in labor negotiations? We talk with Chris Bahn, of Arkansas Sports 360 about expectations for next season and off season predictions.
