* Today's Wally Hall column probably deserves a full Wally Watch, but I don't have time. Instead, I'll just leave you with the image of Matt Jones mooning the Ol' Greybeard:
"Later in his career, Matt would, among other things, turn his back on a reporter, bend over and pull down his pants. In most places that childish game is called mooning."

* Our comrades in the HogBlogosphere, the Razorbloggers, have an interesting comment about Ryan Mallett up on their site today. Seems to be alluding to some troubling behavior on his part. Anyone want to weigh in further?
"Media relations aside, I hear he’s otherwise been following pretty close to MJ’s footsteps. The fact that Petrino is taking a fairly stern approach to Mallett makes me a little more hopeful than I was previously that we will see him on the field this fall."

* After leading his team to a dominant 2-14 SEC record, Michael Washington is apparently pondering the idea of going pro. (The Morning News says "the situation still seems unresolved."). Great.

* And in further uplifting news, here are the words no Razorback fan wants to hear: "The NCAA is looking into the recruiting practices of the University of Arkansas men's basketball program."

The NCAA might as well be investigating us for a complete lack of competence in conference play. This season was a violation of all that is holy about Razorback basketball. Sad to say, but you would think the NCAA would have bigger fish to fry in the basketball world. Arkansas isn’t a big fish right now. But, hey, it is the NCAA and putting a lighter to a minnow certainly isn’t beyond them.

From the wholehogsports article:

“Washington led Arkansas with 15 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in Thursday night’s game, then responded to a question about speculation he might enter his name in the NBA Draft.

‘I haven’t worried about that right now,’ Washington said. ’I’m looking forward to coming back and getting better with my teammates.’"

From this, we are to gather that Washington is considering going pro? I believe the next twenty people he asks will tell him that second-team on the weakest power conference in the country is a sure bet not to get drafted in the NBA, CBA, or whatever other BA is out there. (I hope none of those 20 people is an agent.) But it’s sure not clear to me that Washington is “pondering” wrecking any chance he has of a decent post-Razorback life a la Scotty Thurman.
