The ginger lad from Paintsville, KY and his band of overmatched misfits (remember Richie Farmer, who sported the 'stache? Gimel Martinez?) played in the greatest basketball game of all-time when they nearly knocked off Crissy Laettner (who should've been ejected after deliberately stomping on Aminu Timberlake) and dook in '92. Pelphrey is gutty, wiley, and a great leader. And he's feral. My freshman year, on the way from Holmes Hall dorm to the classroom building, I observed John Pelphrey on his elbows and knees, holding some kind of food; he was attempting to coax a squirrel to eat from his hand. You Hogs will love this guy. Pelphrey is just what the doctor ordered for your Hogs.

Also, I expect a lot from Beverly over the next couple of years. He has tons of talent (not just as a scorer) and I hope that Pelphrey can coach him to maximize that talent. If this happens...watch out SEC. Can’t wait for the Dwight posts.

With as much talent as the Hogs had, their performance was disgraceful. They definitely did not play together. Beverly started out like a dream, but he too picked up the selfish vibe. I also am as optimistic about Pelphrey. And where's the Dwight Stewart posts you promised us? I think Gene nailed it on Heath and last season.

I also think that sentiment is what is helping to divide the fan base at this time.

Nolan WAS a great coach. But he stopped coaching, and our teams were horrible. But as I've said before, I think most Arkansans HAVE forgiven Nolan. Pretty interesting reading, overall.
