>This story just gets more and more ridiculous. For instance, it has come out that on MONDAY, the day before he left for the Arkansas job, Petrino assured Arthur Blank he was staying. Also that Arkansas, through Jerry Jones, asked the Falcons for permission to talk to Petrino, were turned down, and talked to and signed him anyway. Finally, that Petrino didn't even tell the Falcons players himself but left a one paragraph note taped to his office door. What a stand-up guy.

He did pretty much the same thing here in Louisville. Told us how happy he was here, how he wanted his family to stay here, signed a 10 year contract, and left.
