Arkansas Football: Wednesday Evening Hodge Podge

• Maybe He and Sonny Can Share a Place.  Peyton Hillis has signed a contract with the Denver Broncos, although terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

 • The Bad News Hogs.  Jeff Alexander of Point-Spreads.com has peered into his crystal ball, and you won’t like what he sees for Bobby Petrino’s first Razorback team: a dead-last finish in the SEC West.

Says Alexander: “Two years ago the Razorbacks were among the best teams in the nation.  Last year, they were still explosive offensively and very competitive.  This year, the rebuilding project begins under a new head man.  With players asked to learn such a different offensive system and with so many new players being asked to step into expanded rolls, growing pains are inevitable.”

Question: Is any player capable of being our Kelly Leak and saving us from such a horrible fate?

• We’re Number 26!  Some high-falutin’ number crunchers at SI.com have determined that Arkansas and Western Kentucky tied for the 26th-best athletic program during the 2007-’08 school year.

• Rebel Fans Ready to Get Their Nutt On.  The Clarion-Ledger newspaper has an article on the lovefest currently underway between Houston Nutt and Ole Miss fans.  We can already hardly wait for the Ole Miss-Arkansas matchup in Fayetteville this fall.  Think that will get much coverage in the Arkansas media?

• Sweating the Big Stuff.  Jim Harris of ArkansasSports360.com has an interesting piece on the issues that have college basketball coaches tossing and turning all through the night.
