Regardless of how Falcons fans feel about Bobby Petrino

I don’t know about other Falcon fans but I was happy to see him go. Of course he could have been more of a man about it not lied, but the again lying is what he does, so there’s that.

It would have been fun to see what he could have done with a motivated Vick back then, though.

Never had any sympathy for Petrino after what he did to Atlanta. I have sympathy for the Arkansas program after what he did to them this year, though.

Yes- but I did not say it was a bad win. But Arkansas is not a good team and if USC had beaten Stanford, it would have been a better win than Alabama beating Arkansas. You implied it was a bad win.

The problem with “watching” on the phone, and then reading DOB’s excellent article (in which that relatively minor bit of exchange is not mentioned)…more than likely Ross would not have been thrown out advancing on either walk or the HBP… ;)

A Series win over the division leader. A chance for back to back divisional series sweeps. And all you people can do is demand trades of “non-productive” players because you don’t like the way they’re playing. Well, get over it, folks. This team is playing one hundred and fifty percent better in September 2012 than they were last year at this time, OR HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT SO SOON? Lighten up and enjoy the ride, folks. I believe this team will still be playing baseball deep into October. Remember this is Chipper’s finale, and the old man is going to go out with a loud bang. Mark my words.
