Sorry ladies, no more Petrino rides toward the Beaver

First it was the volleyball playing blonde off the back of his motorcycle, then it was his career, then it was the motorcycle itself, now it’s real estate that Bobby Petrino seems to be dumping with a quickness.  The NWA Business Journal is reporting that the Petrinos have sold their $600,000 lake house to a Wal-Mart executive (everyone in Northwest Arkansas qualifies as a Wal-Mart executive I think).

Former Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino has sold his home on Beaver Lake for $600,000.

According to a warranty deed filed Tuesday at the Benton County Courthouse, Duncan MacNaughton, chief merchandising officer for Wal-Mart U.S., and his wife, Cynthia, are the new owners of the lakefront property in eastern Benton County.

Petrino and his wife, Becky, bought the 2,532-SF home and 2.91 acres on Cedar Forest Drive in Garfield for $600,000 in June 2008, the summer before his first season coaching the Razorbacks.

The sellers were William and Lisa McCullough. That purchase was tied to a 30-year mortgage worth $480,000 held by Signature Bank of Arkansas.

The home sits on a 1.07-acre lot and includes two extra lots as well as a private boat dock with four slips.

It didn’t take long for the former coach to get out from under the property.

That’s odd, Bobby Petrino doesn’t strike me as the type of guy who would just go around liquidating things associated with beaver so quickly.

Will Muschamp, who made it over to Texas A&M a few times during his stint as Texas defensive coordinator has a few thoughts about having to travel to his new conference member’s home field every once and again:

“You ever been to College Station?” Muschamp asked. “It’ll be the only time you go.”

Your move College Station Board of Tourism.

I cannot send thank you notes written in the nicest of calligraphy to Spencer Hall for introducing “Lawyer Mike” to us all.  Keeper of the legal tenets of the great state of Tennessee by day, R&B crooner and owner of some of the swaggiest Florida Gator swag that has ever dared to swag by night…and on the weekend…praying with his son on the curb in the neighborhood.  I implore, nay, demand you go to his YouTube channel and watch every single one of his videos, and if you are so inclined, head to his website (Hey! William H. Macey!) and his Twitter.

Hate on him if you must, but I bet you don’t own anything as awesome as that leather vest, do you, Hatey McHaterson?

Rick Muscles is out at some exotic vacation locale so I tried to replace the mansomeness as best I could by bringing in FOTP buddy, and proprietor of the new Sports Dumpster,  Jordan Stuckey to talk any and all things Arkansas football.  We delved into the intricacies of playing football in Fayetteville while trying to run a text book pyramid scheme as well as John L. Smith’s entrance into social media.  At some point I explained all of these Arkansas problems using the premise for a Tom Berenger/Treat Williams trilogy.  It was one of those shows.  Enjoy here at 10.  Listen on  demand here.

This may be the best thing to come out of the whole Bobby Petrino fiasco (besides all of the photoshops, those were pretty fun), John L. Smith is now on Twitter.  Thats almost a shame really because I hate to limit a man of such colorful explanations to just 140 characters.

See what happens…I just go away for a couple of days and all ham breaks loose around here.  But, if we learned anything over the past 2 months, its that Arkansas football is a 24 hour news cycle, and sometimes that cycle will crash into a pile of sticks on the side of the road with a blonde with volleyball shorts on the back.  Kudos to Andrew Peterson, Maudrecus Humphrey, and Marquel Wade for reminding us to keep our head on a swivel when covering the Razorbacks…and for reminding us that that whole text book buy back program can be a little tricky at times, and establishing a strong foothold on the Fulmer Cup in the process.

Your humble purveyor of this here site, Bunkie T. Perkins, Esquire is taking a couple of days off from general tomfoolery and jokes about Bobby Petrino’s current lot in life.  I’ll be in New York all weekend so hit me up on Twitter if you are in the area and so inclined to have a drink or 6 at some point over the weekend.  I’ll be back on Tuesday, but in the meantime, let Jim Breuer explain to you the fall of Guns n Roses in 5 minutes or less.
