Monk calls press conference for 3pm

[phoggy]

The detective?

Yes, they've called in Tony Shahloub for the press conference. Should be hilarious.

lol...Monk up there with Monk

[Karma]

For those of you saying "I hope they leave" .... are you fricken serious??

As I recall wasn't there something bout Monk getting into it with Mustain couple of months ago? I bet he is coming out to say that he feels the team is going to do just fine and for people not to give up on them. Think how he must feel with all this "the program is coming to an end" talk because of 3 people (2 of which didnt even make a big impact last year) leaving. I would much rather lose Mitch AND DW the lose a Monk and Hillis. Dick is more then capable of getting the ball to Monk at least once a game and thats not anything less then what Mitch would be doing

He couldn't catch Mitch's balls...too much zip.  That was in the papers early in the year.

Yep. The zipped about 4 feet over his head. Same with Casey Dick though.

[elkhog]

Wow. You people are unbelievable. Monk WANTED TO DO THIS. I guess it was HDN's idea for the team to call Mitch out to apologize to HDN? You just don't get it. We are talking about a SMALL percentage of unhappy players. The rest are standing behind their coach and the program. I guess you will bash Monk and the others for being "Spin Doctors" or being put up to it by Nutt. I told you guys yesterday that the players were not crying over the moves.

Well now that bad pass in the SC game by Mustain and subsequent benching is making sense to me.  I seem to remember some discussion about wrong routes and ALL the blame getting put on Mustain.

[Karma]

I hope it is to say that they are leaving.  if monk becomes the nutts lapdog then I have lost all respect for the players

You lose respect for a player that is loyal to his coach? How is that any different than the Springdale guys following Malzahn? Maybe we should admire their loyalty, even if we think its misplaced.

if this a rallying of the troops why isnt the number one son mcfadden doing it.  Ive always liked marcus but if houston put marcus up to this he has sank to a new low.

what's monk supposed to do?  say no to nutt?  nutt's still his coach. monk is a year ahead of mcfadden and nutt prefers upperclassmen as we well know

[Karma]

Frankly, I am done with anyone who supports Nutt.  I don't care if it is a player.  I am done with them.  If the players aren't smart enough to see that their coach is a lying piece of crap and that this whole thing is about more than winning and losing and whatever else, then I am done with them.  This whole deal is about integrity and Nutt has none.

Then you are done with virtually every player that runs through the A next season. They all can leave if they want, but the vast majority will chose to stay. I want Nutt gone, but you folks that want to completely dismantle the program to see it done are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[RazorRaider]

U guy always see the bad in things maybe he is being a leader and stepping up to the plateand say we are going to be all right

Maybe that is because there are some bad things going on. And honestly if this is going to be a "Everything is fine let's all get behind Coach Nutt" session then more than likely Nutt put him up to it. Because he would be too cowardly to do this himself.

[Hoot72]

Hey Guys, we are wanting HDN and JFB gone so badly, that everything that happens becomes an opportunity for us to hope that it will happen.  There is a press conference, it has been on the Rivals board, and Marcus Monk called it to talk about the "state of the program".  If you really believe that Monk/Hillis are going to say anything bad about the program, you've been drinking too much, already, today.  They will come out and say that the players that are left really want to be here, and they support the coach, and the assistants that are still here.  It will be all sweet and gooey, which is exactly what the BAC wants.  I hope they mean it, and I hope that David Lee will develop an offense that will survive and flourish after #5 and #25 are gone.  I have heard through the grapevine, that some of the players felt like GM played favorites with the Springdale kids -- and it would not surprise me, I would have if I had been him.  But, I think it is time that we face the facts that Houston will survive this mess, and feel like he is stronger because of it.  After one year, Gus and Mitch just did not possess the stroke to change anything.  The best thing that we can do now, is hope that the Hogs have a good year, that Gus really does well at Tulsa, Damien does well at USC, and Mitch does great wherever he might go.

[Nashville Fan]

Junior high ish     I LOVE IT

Will you ask her if she likes me? 
If she does tell her I kinda like her too.
If not tell her good b/c I don't like her either.

Know what would be really sad, is that Monk and Hillis come out and say, "all is well" and then someone else asks to be released just after.
Wait a minute I thought "only players who wanted to be there" where there after DW left.

I smell another no win situation for HDN and he stepped right into to it. This time he is getting his players to say it instead of him. Truely sad and a low point. Nothing good will come of this.

The people that are saying that they want them to go pro are just making a statement..  All they are wanting is for there to be so much turmoil that HDN and Frank resign... I can see their point.

[NATEHOGG216]

Why don't we all wait and see what he has to say before freaking out and bashing Monk? What has this place came to?

because he is not from Springdale.

No that was in the middle of the season...not early before Mitch's arm wore out.  Even my dad called me from Pennsylvania to ask who the primary receiver was because Monk couldn't catch a cold.  I found that funny at the time.

You are right. He never dropped at least one ball a game (for instance in the bowl or the one in the endzone). Every ball that he did not catch or whed he did not run the right route (which happened several times and caused INTs) were someone else's fault. I guess that he is just going to start emulating his coach.

I firmly believe this is not a Monk and Hillis are leaving thing.  I think it will be a "the players support Coach" meeting.  I just hope it is all for naught if it is.

If I were a betting man, I would bet they'll talk about how excited they are about the new Offensive Coordinator.  Standard/stock stuff for a new hire.  Get a few quotes out there from the Head Coach and key players for the papers.

did they do a presser last year when Gus was hired?  I don't remember one....

I hope you're right...there's no need for those "that want to play for Arkansas" to get caught up in this.  It is history now, nothing will change it. 

Man, I really hope he says "we're sad but we'll survive and move on".  Otherwise, he'll be the same target as everone else.

[hogstuff]

If Marcus Monk or any other players wants to come and show support to his team and coaches, then more power to him.  It sounds like the team is as sick of the drama as I am.  Bashing him makes no sense and shows that you are more concerned about Mitch and Gus than the program.  

If the players on the team are happy with where things are, that is good news.  It means we can move on.

I have no problem if you want to bash Nutt, but please support the players.

Yep, in the papers by both Gus and Houston.  Said that because Mitch wasn't at Spring Practice and had to be thrust into the starting qb job he was practicing so much "to get things down" that his arm was virtually worn out.  I think they cited this around the Alabama game.  I seem to recall it being after.

i don't know if there's a press conf or not.  i kind of doubt it but who knows.  i find it mighty weird that a player would call a conf to say everything's ok and no one should worry.  i can't think of any instance when that happend

what i was trying to point out is that people were saying they would think less of monk if he did and my point is that nutt is still monk's head coach and monk is going to listen to him and do what he asks him to do.  for all we know, nutt asked for volunteers and monk raised him hand. no need to think less of monk IF it is a "kumbaya" moment
