Does he stay or does he go?

Well, that depends on a number of things. RR will have some access to him for a while and they can get to know each other a bit. I think RR can make a good impression and talk to him about some of the spread offense things that can happen effectively even when a QB isn't mobile.

Even if Pryor comes to UM, Mallett could still have a role here. Seriously, look a Florida last year. The same offense worked for Leak and Tebow at different times and in different ways. If RR told Mallett he was the guy and that any possible recruits joining would simply help open up the offense and enhance what the team can do, it might buy him a year.

The reason Mallett would leave, imo, is not because he doesn't want to be a part of RR's system, but rather because he's drawn to Petrino's system, the weather, and the proximity to home at Arkansas. Hard to blame him for that. Unfortunately, if Mallett leaves and we don't get another QB, we have David Cone. Threet can't play for us next season and our QB commit from this class has changed his mind and is headed to Iowa.

So he can switch and still play 3 years, but he can't play next year.

I'm thinking that maybe he should go. It might be better for him and better for RR and UofM to get a more mobile QB.

If he stays next year and then RR goes to a more mobile recruit/frosh QB, he'd be fucked.

EDIT... I posted this b4 I read Jethro's

lol

Oh, I see how you role. That is funny but my JH chat post didn't even get a chuckle?

Jethro. I think it could work, but not sure if its a perfect fit. Believe it or not, I'm actually thinking about Malletts interest too.

I agree on 2 qb too.

I'm not sure about the timing but I bet if Mallett announced tomorrow that he is leaving that Pryor would be more inclined to come here. He'd step in next year and play.

Has Mallett even HINTED that he is thinking about going? Or is this just one more bit of insanity for Michigan fans?

You guys might just try relaxing a bit here. UM has nabbed a top ten coach, possibly the #5 guy in the country after the Big Four. It was a maddening search that left most of us damn near exhausted when it was over.

UM NEEDS Mallett next year. I hope Rodriguez is currently sitting in a nice, quiet, warm room with Mallett right now, explaining that Mallett had enough mobility and talent to make this thing work, and that Rodriguez can modify it to fit Mallett's game.

A Michigan fan is nothing if not happy to be carrying around razor blades just in case he needs to slit his wrists if things get boring.

I know its a lot of fun to talk about Pryor, but everyone does know that he is nowhere near "ours" yet right? People talk about him like he is coming here for sure and that he will be god and that Mallett is going to be terrible in a system like this. What if Pryor doesn't come? Threet is not a "mobile" QB, nor is the Coner. If we don't get Pryor does that mean our offense goes to hell because a 6'7" QB has to throw to 3, 4 or 5 WR's each play.

I think it would be tight as hell if we had Pryor, but there is no guarantee he comes here and no guarantee he is great just yet. I personally would love to watch Mallett sit back there and sling the ball around and hand it off to Carlos Brown.

Zip. If there is a new coach hired at a major, awesome university and the new coach has a system that doesn't fit well with your #1 QB, what the hell, talk about it.



"I talked to Ryan today and he's going to keep an open mind and is looking forward to hearing what coach Rodriguez's plans are," Jim Mallett told the AP. "So, we'll just have to wait and see."

Sigh.

When RR was at Glenville State they passed the ball 50+ times out of the spread. He had WR who had 144 receptions in ONE YEAR. He went to Tulane and kept passing the ball. He went to Clemson and had to tweak his system. He went to WVU and had to tweak it again. He will come to UM and tweak his system again for what he has there.

Mallett is not going anywhere, unless Lefty is not retained then all bets are off, but I am not worried about Mallett leaving. Seriously this is a bunch of nonsense at this point.

Sigh.

Mallett stays...

There is NOTHING special about Mallet

Sportscenter had a story on Mallett possibly transferring to Arkansas.

ESPN reported it, so lock mallett up in Blue for the next three years!

Actually, if hew hasn't come out and said, "Hey look. I'm at Michigan. All the other schools are fag schools, including Arkansas" Then FUCK HIM!
Imagine telling Mallett to either shit or get off the pot, and then telling Pryor:"Hey, son, here's the ball"
Ryan Mallett, maybe you and Keith Nichol can be the Rose Bowl parade queens this year. I bet the two of them are lovers. Them and Mitch Cumstain.

And Dick Rod.

i wish i had a penis

Since Lefty is not staying (or all indications are that he is), all bets are off. I wouldnt be shocked to see him follow Lefty around.

See what happens.

UM's Mallett planning to transfer

By ZACH SILKA
BLADE SPORTS WRITER

Rich Rodriguez's tenure as the head football coach at the University of Michigan is only in its second day, but he may have already lost one of the Wolverines.

There is speculation out of Ann Arbor that freshman quarterback Ryan Mallett has decided to leave Michigan and will transfer to UCLA, according to a person close to the team.

Michigan associate athletic director Bruce Madej said no paperwork has come across his desk regarding Mallett's transfer and that as far as he knows, Mallett is still enrolled at Michigan.

"He came back with us, so I just saw him yesterday," Madej said. "He was talking with the guys about seeing them next week."

Mallett told The Blade on Dec. 26 during the team's preparations for the Capital One Bowl in Orlando that he wanted to remain a Wolverine next season.

Retired Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said Wednesday he was aware of Mallett's decision but would leave it up to him to make the announcement.

"What I hope is Ryan Mallett stays at Michigan," Carr said Wednesday before boarding a team bus at Orlando's Peabody Hotel. "Because I think potentially he can be one of the great quarterbacks that's come along. He's matured dramatically in the last two or three months."

In a fill-in role for oft-injured quarterback Chad Henne, Mallett started three games this season for the Wolverines and appeared in eight others, throwing for 892 yards with seven touchdowns and five interceptions. He was 3-0 in his starts against Notre Dame, Penn State and Minnesota.

a bukdow warning has been issued

How does that title fit with the body below it?

Should have had a question mark, no doubt

Bullshit. He's going to Arkansas, man.

Manningham is returning...per Lansing Journal..


Even though many have assumed Manningham will turn pro, he insisted that 1sn't true.

"I'm going back," he said. "I want to get my degree."

When a reporter told the receiver he seemed to be joking, Manningham didn't back down.

"I'm being for real," Manningham said.

The Mallett news may just wake those sulking Sparties out of their New Year's Day stupor.

Possible incoming visitors in 3...2...1...

I just caught Artermis giving the WVU leg humpers some shit. They are off and running with the "Mallet to UCLA" stuff. Art says it's probably only if Loeffler ends up there, and that ain;t official yet.
What the fuck: If the fucking Gorgon doesn;t want to be here, let him go.

Absolutely nothing about this on UCLA's Scout free boards.

Here's my take. Pryor gave RR the nod that he's coming to La Casa Grande. RR calls the Hammer,excuse me, Mallett and says, "You know kid, maybe it'd be better if you transfer. I'm looking out for you by the way"

You gotta find the silver linings in these clouds

Apparently, sources "VERY close to the team" confirm that Mallett and Loeffler are just about gone to UCLA. There also appears to be a domino effect, with Cone and Threet's vagina's also hurting, and tranfer talk from them.
Also, the reveivers are said to be having a hissyfit.

You know what I'm thinking? If ANYTHING is going on, it is just 11th hour panic. A bunch of people running around saying one thing to one person, one thing to another. RR needs to solidify his staff PRONTO so all these prima donna pussies settle down.
No fucking wonder Michigan football has been getting its ass kicked lately. Lloyd Carr, a puttz, and all these fucking cuntwhacks running around in the winged helmet.

New twists coming by the minute guys.
Loeffler to TENNESSEE!!!
UCLA: Mallet not coming here.

I know i should care but I'm not going to have coniptions over who leaves, if anyone. I want to know but feel confident that RR will field the best team possible and recruit the best he can after that.

If we have to lose a couple of guys, so be it. The future is bright.

Carry on, Zip, I'm reading.

Zip is right on about Tennessee.

Listening to Carr's press conference, it definitely doesnt sound as if Mallett is staying.

If Mallett stays for spring practice to see what happens, he stays in my opinion. If he doesnt give that a chance than he never was going to stay.

MM and AA are going to see who the QB is and talk to RR before they make a decision, but if RM is not around I dont see either of them coming back.

Wait, are Threet and Cone really both talking transfer too???

Malletts mom said no decision has been made at all. She said any reports had not come from the Malletts at all.

Wait, are Threet and Cone really both talking transfer too???
Threet is not going anywhere

I just can't believe Mallett would want to transfer after watching what Henne did. However, it sounds to me like RR is a bit magnanious about it. Maybe RR hasn't made a huge pitch to Mallet yet, and maybe RR feels strongly about Pryor, or the next recruiting class.
I know I'm in the minority here, but from what I saw of Mallet this past year, I think he'd be a great fit in the offense, especially if it will look like what UM ran in the Cap 1 bowl.
Mallet is a big target for defensive linemen and linebackers back there, and if he is more mobile than Henne, he'd be a great fit. If he goes anywhere else, what type of offense would they run? Straight pro set dropback? That is almost non existent anymore. Not that a QB has to be a running back, but the way of things now is to have a guy back there doing mulitple reads, moving the pocekt (at least), and not being afraid to run the ball when needed.
A transfer by Mallet, at least to me on the surface, looks as though his main concern is numbers, and setting himself up for the NFL. I just think it's extremely short sighted for him to not at least give UM and RR a solid shot to show him what they can do with him.

Let me also add that if Lloyd was such a "Michigan Man", and had so much "class", he'd have spent the last month selling Mallet on staying, and also talking to the other guys on the team about it. I think the players have a tremendous amount of love and respect for Carr, and his opinions would carry alot of weight.
I don;t know that he HASN'T been trying to do that, just that he SHOULD.

It also seems to me that (pardon me while I do something different and go off the deep end for a moment) Lloyd has a bit of an attitude with this whole thing. I think he doesn;t feel "appreciated" by the UM fan base, and it grates on him.
I think he feels that his retirement hasn't exactly cause alot of people to lose any sleep. And, UM seems to have gone in a completely opposite direction from him. Also, he might be a little PO'd about his assistants not being retained. I have always thought that UM's assistants need an asterisk by their name for the last decade; the overall Shadow of Lloyd may have made them look incompetent. I'm even willing to concede that Debord wasn't that horrible. I believe that no matter how much input you have as an assistant, the Head Coach determines much of the direction, and playing, and preparation of the team. I certainly feel that Ron English is one guy I might want to see unleashed from Lloyd. I guess we'll see what happens at Louisville.
I've also been paying attention to the Detroit Media throughout this saga. I'd have to say that the two "newspapers" in Detroit, especially the Free Press with the sappy preacher Albom, and the jocksniffing Rosenberg, have an agenda that is all about the Lloyd. In fact, the WVU rumors on Scout were based on some stupid shit article that ran in the Free Press speculating on whether coaches on WVU's staff might want to stay now that Stewart got the job.
Funny thing is, if you read the WVU boards, most of them were not exactly celebrating the hiring of Stewart, and some even raised the cogent point that why would other assistants want to stay on with Stewart, a guy they rubbed elbows with for 7 years, and then all the sudden he's your BOSS? Especially if you feel more qualified. But stuff like that escapes the so called sophisticated (or, that they should be more sophisticated than West Virginia, right?) Detroit media, who seem to staking some of their credibility on the ridiculous premise that Michigan fans will regret Lloyd retiring.
How provincial can you be? Hey, anyone in Detroit ever listen to a NATIONAL radio show, or watch a NATIONAL television show? Read papers that aren;t based in Detroit? DUDE: Michigan football is about as feared as, well, Illinois football. Right now, Michigan football is all about "tradition", The Helmet, and Thee Fight Song. It sure isn't about winning big games and being in the hunt for the national championship. It's all about under achieving and being embarrassed on the national stage.
One win in some bullshit bowl that meant nothing over a team full of freshmen and sophomores isn't going to go a long way in reversing that trend, or reversing the image you have worked hard to create in the last 8 years.

Thank you.

if MM and AA stick around, i think he'd be a moron to transfer.

arington was a revelation in the bowl game, and suddenly that pro talk made sense.

his numbers could be huge next year. with our potential recieving corp next year, UM would be stupid to do anything but a high flying offense. why a qb like mallet wouldnt want to be a part of that, i have no idea.

now if AA and MM leave, mallet transfering might be best for everyone. however, i kinda think it makes more sense for them to leave now.

It'd be hard to convince those two to stay. For one, the $$$$$ will never be better, uless they are showcased next year and have better years (not too hard, since UM sucked this year).
Also, both have had injury problems. Manningham has had a couple knee scopes, hurt his arm, and Arrington has a metal plate in his leg from breaking his ankle as a freshman. If I were those two, I'd go, in spite of the fact that UM receivers seem to peter out in the pros of late (jury still out on Edwards).

I've been saying Mallet can excell in the spread as well. I think if he does transfer, it will be because RR doesn't try to sell him hard on it (because he wants Pryor).

I think AA and MM will base their decisions 99% on what they hear back about their draft prospects.

This bothers me.

I'm not sure who runs this or how they get their info, but how often do we hear about guys that were given info that they would be a 1st or 2nd round pick, only to have them slip to the 2nd DAY or UFA status? I mean, do they tell 115 kids that they are prospects for the 1st or 2nd round? Do they realize that those two rounds only equal 64 picks (63 this year)?

I can never blame a kid for leaving early - though it hurts me as a fan - because I would do the exact same thing. If I had some special ability and a legit, legal, proven corporation came to me and said, "Hey kid, forget college because due to your skill we're going to give you a contract worth more on 1-2 years than your degree would get you over 10-20", I would be out of college in a heartbeat, even if I didn't feel completely qualified or if I thought I could get a marginally better offer the next year - MAYBE.

Even if MM and AA leave, we have plenty of depth to make up for the loss, maybe we won't get as many big plays as those guys made, but we'll have enough to make up for their receptions and yards numbers...

Between Hemingway, Mathews, Stonum, and Clemons, we should be fine...

Sounds like AA was all set to stay before the bowl game, but now that he is one of the hot names after "Bowl Season" he has been leaning toward going which will obviously spell bad news for Manningham as well.

I know its a lot of fun to talk about Pryor, but everyone does know that he is nowhere near "ours" yet right? People talk about him like he is coming here for sure and that he will be god and that Mallett is going to be terrible in a system like this. What if Pryor doesn't come? Threet is not a "mobile" QB, nor is the Coner. If we don't get Pryor does that mean our offense goes to hell because a 6'7" QB has to throw to 3, 4 or 5 WR's each play.

I think it would be tight as hell if we had Pryor, but there is no guarantee he comes here and no guarantee he is great just yet. I personally would love to watch Mallett sit back there and sling the ball around and hand it off to Carlos Brown.

I'm with you Filly. Mallett could easily run the "Capital One" offense and it would be super tight. I'm not banking on Pryor coming either. Especially after seeing him hype up that buckeye sticker on his helmet today. Yuck!

According to Scout, Mallet is enrolled in a full spring slate of General Studies courses and is attending skool.

Which skool?

ESPN just said he will transfer.

Quarterback Mallett leaves Michigan, is considering transfer to Tennessee

Associated Press
Updated: January 9, 2008, 2:53 PM ET

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Ryan Mallett has left the Michigan football program, and the quarterback might be reunited with his offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

Ryan Mallett, who played in 11 games as a freshman, isn't thought to be suited for new coach Rich Rodriguez's spread offense.

"He's on his way home," Jim Mallett told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "We don't know where he's going to go yet, but we need to do something quick. We're going to visit three, four or five schools."

The former Texas Class 4A offensive player of the year may end up at Tennessee, which is considering hiring former Michigan offensive coordinator Mike DeBord and quarterbacks coach Scott Loeffler.

"If they're hired, that would be a real good possibility," Jim Mallett said. "Ryan really clicked with both coach DeBord and coach Loeffler during the last couple months of the season and during bowl practices, I've never seen Ryan throw the ball or read defenses as well as he did."

Mallett said his son also will consider transferring to Texas A&M, Arkansas and UCLA among other schools. After sitting out next season, he will have three years of eligibility.

"Several schools have called and we're still open-minded about any program that runs a pro-style offense," he said. "He's going to enroll this semester, so we've got to get moving."

Mallett played in 11 games as a freshman, filling in for Chad Henne when he was injured. He was 61-of-141 for 892 yards with seven touchdown passes and five interceptions.

As soon as Lloyd Carr retired and Rich Rodriguez was hired, Mallett's days seemed to be numbered because of Rodriguez's spread offense that has featured mobile quarterbacks.

"It just wasn't a fit and yet, it was a hard decision," Jim Mallett said. "When he came home for Christmas, he told me and my wife that he really was falling in love with being at Michigan.

"Ryan wants to thank coach Carr, his staff and all the players for helping him have a great experience the past year."

YOU FORGOT TO BOLD ARKANSAS

"Ryan wants to thank coach Carr, his staff and all the players for helping him have a great experience the past year."

And we all want to thank Ryan for his invaluable contribution to the University of Michigan. You know, that fumble that he had in his one play during the State game that Hart picked up and ran for the first down.

bring on TP!

happy trails ryan, though i hardly knew ye

Well, Pryor has to be looking here hard now. The door is wide open, he knows he'll have a great OL, great RB's and probably great WR's. Heck, they even got a TE that might excell in the spread.

And he can play basketball, maybe even start.

That RR/Belein history/chemistry could pay off there.

IT FEELS GREAT!

TO BE!


too soon?

if its between us and OSU, which many believe it is, easy sell.

you want to compete against a sr qb who started in the national champiosnhip or be the man here, day 1. done deal.

you want to compete against a sr qb (FROM OHIO) who started in the national champiosnhip or be the man here, day 1. done deal.

plus, there is no evidence that a Tressel offense can make the best use of his ability. The offense Troy Smith ran last year was as close as it's going to get. Meanwhile, Rodriguez wrote the book on dual threat QB's.

If we can't land Pryor now, I don't know what to tell ya. But if we don't, I know it sounds yucky, but Steven Threet is not that bad of a QB at all. He was a 4 star recruit, he's 6'6", 235 and I watched his video on rivals and came away impressed. Big kid, strong arm, really wings it and was succeeding in the spread offense. He even ran a bit to pick up a few first downs. A little Henson like. Not blazing speed, but mobile and able to make plays on the run.

Not a bad plan C.

um, we should be the most desirable location for a hotshot mobile qb, pretty much in the whole country. if TP goes else where, i would think it would have to be bball related. i would think we could attract atleast a pretty good talent, even if its not TP.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas will ask the NCAA to allow transfer quarterback Ryan Mallett to play immediately for the Razorbacks without sitting out a year.

Mallett transferred from Michigan after Rich Rodriguez replaced retiring coach Lloyd Carr.

"After visiting with Ryan and his parents, we feel that it is appropriate to file a waiver in this case based on extenuating circumstances," Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long said in a release. "While the outcome of the waiver request is uncertain, we feel strongly that as an institution we should offer our full support to Ryan and his family in this process."

When contacted by The Associated Press, a school spokesman would not elaborate on what Long meant by "extenuating circumstances."

Mallett's father, Jim Mallett, told ESPN's Joe Schad he believes his son's pending appeal to the NCAA for immediate eligibility could be a landmark case.

"I know the NCAA has never really ruled on this one before," Jim Mallett said from his Arkansas home on Tuesday night. "But at some time I suppose they would have to."

The Malletts' claim to the NCAA is simple. He should not be punished because an incoming coach runs a system which does not fit his pocket-passing style.

The 6-foot-7 Mallett, who played in 11 games for the Wolverines last year, has three years of eligibility remaining. Mallett appears well suited to a pro-style offense, but Rodriguez's offense works well with a more mobile quarterback.

"We knew as soon as Rodriguez was hired it was obvious there would be a problem," Jim Mallett told Schad. "He would not fit into the coaches' spread offense. Now, is this something Ryan had control over? No. Now for him to sit out 18 months because of it would be tough. So we're asking the NCAA to examine the particulars of this case."

Jim Mallett said he understands that across-board provisions alllowing any athlete to transfer without cause and play immediately would be problematic.

"Then, of course, you do have a circumstance where a player would follow a coach," he told Schad. "But this is different. Lloyd Carr retired and we loved Lloyd Carr. Ryan left not because he wanted to, but because he needed to. He deserves a chance to play. And we're anxious to hear what the NCAA thinks."

Mallett was 61-of-141 for 892 yards with seven touchdown passes and five interceptions last season while filling in for Chad Henne when the senior was injured.

Mallett went to high school on the Texas side of Texarkana, but lived on the Arkansas side.

Information from ESPN college football reporter Joe Schad and The Associated Press was used in this report.

Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press

I think they should let him play. He makes a good point. The coach came in with a history of running offenses for mobile quarterbacks. Heck, the first person he called after taking the Michigan job was a stud recruit that's a mobile QB. Mallet shouldn't be punished for trying to find a better situation for himself, given those circumstances.

He makes a horrible point!

RR clearly told Mallett that they could build an amazing offense around him and gave examples to prove it. Mallett needs to be in a shotgun spread anyhow! He can't handle a snap from center. There is nothing that says RR needs a QB that runs. He's an innovator and will make it work with what he has. It was Mallett who was unwilling to consider it.

I think Mallett would have fit in here perfectly well, but he didn't, which is why he left. I think if you're recruited by one coach and he leaves after your freshman year, then the next coach brings in an ENTIRELY new offensive system, you should have the option of switching to a team that runs the system you like. He obviously came to UM with certain expectations, then they changed through no fault of his own. I think he would have been great in our new offense, but he shouldn't be penalized for searching out what he wanted to begin with.

I think he would have been great in our new offense, but he shouldn't be penalized for searching out what he wanted to begin with.

Tell that to every other kid that has had to sit out a full year. Why does Mallett deserve better treatment than everyone else?

The rule sucks, but it sucks for everyone.

I think the NCAA should allow trades.

The NCAA should get someone on the board under the age of 92. Maybe its changed but the last time I checked they almost looked fossilized.

Tell that to every other kid that has had to sit out a full year. Why does Mallett deserve better treatment than everyone else?

The rule sucks, but it sucks for everyone.

Addition by subtraction with this spoiled brat.

Tell that to every other kid that has had to sit out a full year. Why does Mallett deserve better treatment than everyone else?

The rule sucks, but it sucks for everyone.
That's my point. Maybe if they let him do it, it will revolutionize things a bit, and that will become the standard. As long as kids have a good reason to change schools, i.e. a new coach comes in with an entirely new system, they should be able to transfer without punishment.

I know there were many rumblings from AA this year that the Mallett experiment wasn't working. Too cocky, run ins with coaches, players, and students, but last night I was on The Wolverine and a mod posted that there were rumors that midway through the year Lloyd had a 1 on 1 with Ryan and told him "The only thing I like about you is your potential." Another poster said there was a rumor that Lloyd printed up the transfer papers and had them on his desk during the meeting. The mod didn't endorse that fact, but clearly there was trouble with Mallett from the beginning.

Lloyd has done that a number of times with people hoping to inspire them. Examples include Chris Perry and Shawn Crable. Of course, there were certainly guys that took him up on the offer. We don't often hear about them. Examples - I have no clue what Max Martin, Cobrani Mixon or Mister Simpson have accomplished or will accomplish.

Mister Simpson went on to Cincinnati and flunked out of school.

He should change his name to Orenthal

It looks like Max Martin ended up at that powerhouse, Alabama A&M. He originally transfered to Alabama but Shula cut him early for violating rules. So the former 4 star tailback was likely to be the #2 back for the SWAC team, but that was pending academic eligibility.

Wow.

There is nothing after Michigan.

Source: Mallett to sit out '08 season after transferring from Michigan

Updated: May 2, 2008, 3:35 PM ET

The NCAA has denied a request by Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett for immediate eligibility, a person close to the player told ESPN's Joe Schad on Friday.

Mallett will sit out this season after transferring from Michigan.

Mallett's claim in his petition to the NCAA was that he had no choice but to transfer because his style of play did not fit new Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez's system.

Casey Dick will start this year for Arkansas.

Mallett will have three years of eligibility with the Razorbacks and new coach Bobby Petrino after sitting out the 2008 season. The 6-foot-7 Mallett played in 11 games for the Wolverines before leaving after Rodriguez replaced retiring coach Lloyd Carr.

Mallett was 61-of-141 for 892 yards with seven touchdown passes and five interceptions last season at Michigan.

I fell so bad for him. But oh, wait, I really don't.

Jethro, you fell for Mallett? Seems a bit personal.

Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett arrested

19 hours ago

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Fayetteville police arrested Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett on a public intoxication charge outside of a nightspot near campus.

The 20-year-old Mallett was booked into the Washington County Jail at 3:47 a.m. Sunday after being arrested on Dickson Street. Mallett was released on bond about an hour later.

Coach Bobby Petrino said in a statement that he was very disappointed in Mallett's judgment and that Mallett will be subject to team discipline.

Mallett is seen as the likely starter for the Razorbacks in 2009. He sat out 2008 after transferring from Michigan.

Spring practice starts on March 24.

That kid always just seemed like trouble. No wonder he never really fit in at MICHIGAN.

This Mallett kid is actually fun to watch.

BLAME DICKROD

Well, at least he was on a team that beat Florida. Amirite?

He still seems like a dick to me.

BET YOU WEREN'T SAYING THAT BEFORE HE DECIDED TO LEAVE "YOUR" SCHOOL

^Spin. But you're correct. Before he decided to leave, I was saying "WHY THE FUCK IS MALLETT IN THE GAME?!?!? HIS BEST PLAY IN A MICHIGAN UNIFORM WAS WHEN HE FUMBLED THE BALL AND MIKE HART PICKED IT UP AND RAN FOR A FIRST DOWN!"

Didn't Mike pick that fumble up with his mouth?

It was during the MSU game, if I'm not mistaken...

Heisman?
