With last season's appearance in the Sugar Bowl, Arkansas' Bobby Petrino became one of three coaches to lead two programs to BCS games. He guided Louisville to the Orange Bowl in 2007. The other two coaches are Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. Two huge road games on the Razorbacks' schedule: at Alabama on Sept. 24 and at Louisiana State on Nov. 25.

Update: Arkansas is now investigating.

Woo pig sooie! Arkansas might have some explaining to do after this image appeared Sunday on several Razorback message boards. It shows several recruits from this past weekend wearing personalized jerseys and posing for a picture in the team's locker room.

Look closely and you'll also see that the lockers have been personalized with names of the recruits.

Last we checked, creating a false game day environment was a big no-no according to NCAA rules. Can you say secondary violations?

Reporter Fired for Wearing Gator Cap to Hog Presser

How many times have you been rushing out the door and grabbed the first cap on the pile?

Renee Gork, a reporter for Hog Sports Radio, wore a Florida Gator cap to Saturday's post-scrimmage press conference for Bobby Petrino. The Arkansas coach answered a question from Gork, then glared at her and said: "And that will be the last question I answer with that hat on." (Video is after the jump.)

On Monday, Gork was fired by Hog Sports Radio. Seriously. Over a friggin' hat.

Let the record show that Petrino, suddenly flush with loyalty to the Razorbacks, has been a man of many hats. At one point, he had three jobs in two years and seemingly flirted with every job that was open.

Who could forget his clandestine meeting in 2003 with Auburn officials while he was still coach at Louisville. Petrino lied about it until two reporters for the Louisville Courier-Journal confronted him with overwhelming evidence that the meeting took place, then he begged for forgiveness.
