Who actually is in the GOBN?

[mj4president]

The good ol boy network, who is actually considered to be part of it?

[3dawghawg]

Good Question. Is it HDN backers or is it GM backers? Or is it somewhere in the middle. I don't really know.

[jjfmetal11]

I think if it were Nutt backers they would be hiring Tommy Bowden                

[mj4president]

Actual names though, not just backers? I've never seen anyone mention the booster who are in it.

[Ex-Trumpet]

I'm not at liberty to tell who they are, but I'm being rushed pretty hard to join.

you must be a legacy...I hear it's hard to get a bid if you're an outsider

For a nice donation to my private fund, I can put in a good word for you to the rest of the guys.

[IronHog]

GOBN was the doners that controlled the BAC once JFB was a lame duck......most notably Jim Lindsey

[woodrow hog call]

One thing about it, "someday the mountain might get us but the law never will".

But Jim has severe Alzheimer's, correct? I was thinking he wasn't in the picture at all anymore.

These days, it's the NWA powerbrokers. I think the Little Rock guys continue to donate but have pretty much conceded in the fight for control of the meddlin'.

[Michael D Huff AIA]

I can say for 100% certainty that I am in no way a part of, nor ever have been a part of, the GOBN.  Scratch my name off the list.

[Ex-Trumpet]

I am, but more in the realm of Flounder.  I have you down as a reference, however!

Here's a pic taken recently at their last tailgate.

Apparently people like the Stephens don't care much anymore....

If Gus comes back you know the NWA boosters made it happen.


Given the current situation Gus would be a top choice

[Hawginj]

Elvis, big foot, Santa Claus, Ernest P. Worrall, Vern, Mr. T, George Jefferson, The ghost of Christmas Future , and Colonel Sanders!

Still lots of money coming in from the Lindsey organization.  John David has a lot of influence.

[razorcash2]

Is Bobby Allen still in that group?

The Stephens are interested in making money. They want someone who'll bring games back to WMS and justify a big bond to upgrade it.

[Hawginj]

Col. Sanders is a Wildcat.

he sits on every major board. With his beadie little eyes staring at me...oh your going to buy my chicken...he puts an addictive chemical in it that makes you crave it daily and nightly.

cool! we need the dues!

[lakecityhog]

GOBN is simply another way for people to complain about not getting their own way. Keep HDN = GOBN,
Fire JL = return of GOBN

[ipigsooie]

What GOBN?

Otter joined that group yesterday.

[riccoar]

The good ol boy network, who is actually considered to be part of it?

People who last year, spent more money on spilt liquor than you make.

They are known to sport Rolex's on one hand and diamond rings on the other.  Done a little kid stealing and whole lot of wheeling and dealing.  They ride in limousines and fly in jets.  And been known to have a hard time to hold down the expensive alligator shoes they sport.

That, is who the GOBN is.

[OtterHog]

My bank account disqualifies me from the GOBN

If the Stephens cared they'd just buy Bama and move it to LR.

He the one that him and his Dad bankrupted some banks?

[Kamkaizen]

I'm not at liberty to tell who they are, but I'm being rushed pretty hard to join.

Just curious, as far as you know, are there any people of color in the GOBN?

Maybe that's why they are rushing me...never thought about that!

[Cotton]

Same, If I had that kind of money I would invite all of Hogville to visit me in Costa Rica.

[Coach Obvious]

One thing about it, "someday the mountain might get us but the law never will".

I hear they're making their way the only way they know how.

You mean, like interior designers? House painters?

[riccoar]

I hear they're making their way the only way they know how.

And, the law is none too happy that they are exceeding those limits

[Coach Obvious]

And, the law is none too happy that they are exceeding those limits

Yeah, but their mommas love 'em though.

[Seebs]

Festus, Cleatus, Buck and Roy, Grannie, Minnie Pearl, Grandpa Jones, Freddy Fender (diversity), haystacks Calhoun, jimmy from Grapevine.

Stringbean. He originated saggin'.

[Deep Shoat]

Look at what Irwin is reporting about how we are going to make Gus tell us no.  That will tell you a lot about who the GOBN is.

But ultimately, it is the people, boosters, ex-players, and alumni, who want ACCESS for their dollars.  Who want some modicum of CONTROL.  Theyvet that when they pick the new AD and/or me coach.

Watch.  The new AD will be someone with Arkansas ties who is beholden to one or more of those power broker boosters. 

And the new HC will be Gus.  Or Mike Norvell, if they think they can control him.  If not, look for Lashlee or Horton or some other Arkansas retread.

[Grizzlyfan]

He the one that him and his Dad bankrupted some banks?

Unless you know something I don't, I think the Lindsey's came through the real estate bust smelling pretty good.

You are probably thinking of Brandon Barber, the son-in-law of John Ed Chambers.  Brandon is doing time for his misdeeds.

[CiriusPorker]

Co-worker this morning used the GOBN mentality to try to make an illuminati connection.  So, ..just saying.

[SPAL]

THE GOBN is a network we hated when we needed a reason to fire nutt and the thing we love when we need to fire long. Basically, it's just whatever we need it to be.

[ricepig]

He the one that him and his Dad bankrupted some banks?

I'm not 100% sure he bankrupt any banks, but he filed bankruptcy.

Well, not exactly.

Only one of those is remotely plausible... can't say who, but it isn't delta or prj (being an employee of the club doesn't mean you're in the club).

It ain't the other one, lol.

I know... just laughable that you got lumped into the same sentence w/ them.

I'm sure the Lindsey's came out great


The people they didn't pay back took a beating
