Petrino can run but he can't hide (even in Taiwan).
It’s not safe for Bobby Petrino to open his eyes yet.
I turns out Petrino is not only infinitely mockable here in the U.S. — and particularly Flowery Branch, where today has been declared a national holiday — but also in Taiwan. They’ve turned his story into a cartoon.
Next Media Animation has pieced together a hilarious animated summary of Petrino’s “inappropriate relationship” with Jessica Dorrell, his hiring of her in the athletic department (including a $20,000 payment) and his firing as Arkansas football coach.
It is possible to listen to the subtitles in English. But I think you will find it much more entertaining in Taiwanese.
Here you go . . .

My wife’s Grand Dad would say nothing could take a man down faster than a whiskey glass or a woman’s a$$. If Coach Petrino hasn’t hit rock bottom he can see it.

So, our US President Clinton, can have affair, and lie about, and not get fired.
But a football coach is held to a higher standard?

When I was in Arkansas, this kind of behavior was not only forgiven but expected of all great leaders. Does anybody have this girls number?

We could use Bobby at GT.
In case you have not noticed, we can assure you that you will never be tempted by any females at GT.
Maybe then we could get rid of this high school offense.

Did anyone ever tell Bobby that this kind of behavior was frown upon in Arkansas?
Perhaps he thought Bill Clinton paved the way for this kind of behavior to be acceptable in Arkansas.

Arkansas was just as responsible for Petrino looking bad as Petrino was. They knew he was what he was, when they hired Petrino. No sympathy for Arkansas. I do hope they hire Smart away from Alabama.

@Desert Dawg. Most men cheat because they can and they have access. If you are a man in a powerful position and beautiful young women are throwing themselves at you, it can be hard to resist. This is especially true if the Missies at home isn’t putting out anymore or just put on a ton of weight, etc. So yes it will be a lot easier for the 45yr old blue collar worker with beer gut and works around a bunch of guys making 50K a year to not cheat than some rich CEO/Entrepreneur/Athlete/Actor. But, yeah Petrino is still a Piece of Sh!T.

Hey Falcon James, how do you explain 4,000 texts and hundreds of phone calls, some before dawn ? I’m sure you would rationalize a video surveillance of her entering Petrino’s hotel rooms at away games as ” business ” meetings ! And don’t forget the $20,000 “loan.” But go ahead and defend him. After all, he wilns games, and that’s all that matters to you.

What disgraces Petrino & this h@rl0t are. No one is without sin, but to stoop to this level as a (supposed) “leader” of young men is pathetic. As for this gal, she’s disgraced her parents, grandparents and fiance.

Now there is news of another woman involved with him. Alison Melder. Her relationship with the coach is less clear. They exchanged more than 200 text messages over a three-month period, but did not speak on the telephone.

“I would like to offer to this candidate,” Petrino wrote. “Out of the candidates, she had the best experience and we felt like she would be the best fit for this position.”

Affair? Yeah, Petrino would have been better off assaulting the girl, biting her lip til it was bleeding, and on his way out the door, saying, “Better put some ice on that.”

Didn’t they learn anything in Arkansas about text messaging from Houston Nutt?
4300 between 2 people, one married and one engaged…..
Wonder if these phones were school property also. You would guess so since the number of texts came out so quickly….(see Houston Nutt).
