Bobby Petrino Resigns As Falcons Coach

One Day After Falcons Franchise Quarterback Michael Vick was sacked with a 23 month Prison term for dog fighting, Bobby Petrino has resigned as Falcons Coach.

Bobby Petrino resigned as Atlanta Falcons coach on Tuesday and will take the head coaching job at Arkansas, sources told FOXSports.com. He lasted only 13 games with the NFL team.

Petrino called a staff meeting late Tuesday afternoon, a meeting which last about 10 seconds, sources said.
At this point, the assistant coaches have not been told who will be coaching the team going forward.

Petrino did not address the team following his resignation. Players are livid with the way Petrino left the team and several called his handling of the situation "classless."

Petrino left Louisville to become Falcons coach in January for a five-year, $24 million contract, largely because Atlanta felt he could help star quarterback Michael Vick reach his full potential.

Of course, he had no idea what Vick was doing in his spare time.

This officially closes the book on this team and how they totally self-destructed after their Star QB was hit with jailtime. Good luck to whoever the next Falcons head coach will be, they are gonna have a whole world of problems on their hands.

Arkansas Upends LSU's National Championship Dreams

Louisiana State quarterback Matt Flynn sits on the field after throwing an interception on a 2-point conversion attempt in the third period of overtime of a football game with Arkansas in Baton Rouge, La., Friday, Nov. 23, 2007. Arkansas won 50-48.

Houston Nutt needed a big win to attempt to save his job. This Victory may be the one that does it.

LSU's national title hopes were crushed by a Heisman-worthy performance. Darren McFadden rushed for three touchdowns and threw for another to lift Arkansas to a 50-48, three-overtime victory over the top-ranked Tigers on Friday.

Peyton Hillis also scored three TDs, the last in the third overtime. Felix Jones ran for the critical 2-point conversion to make it 50-42 Razorbacks (8-4, 4-4 SEC).

LSU (10-2, 6-2) responded when Matt Flynn found Brandon LaFell for a 9-yard TD, but Matterral Richardson intercepted the 2-point conversion attempt, and Arkansas' bench emptied onto the field in triumph.

McFadden, last year's Heisman Trophy runner-up, rushed for 206 yards 32 carries and now has 1,725 yards rushing this season. No doubt there are West Virginia and Ohio State fans who'd vote for McFadden for Heisman if they could.

By knocking off LSU, which was in first place in the BCS standings, Arkansas boosted the national championship hopes of West Virginia and Ohio State.
