Billboard thanking Petrino

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

It's located on I40 west bound, just west of the Plumerville exit #112.

[A Hogwork Orange]

Any pics?

[Wildhog]

Crap.  I just drove past it last night on my way to the liquor store.  Didn't notice it, though.

[DEVICEHIGH]

Well what does it read and where are the pics?

[RazorZach]

I saw that too on the way back from Greer's Ferry but just thought it was an ad for a Razorback Club meeting or the like. Pretty cool, but still not as cool as the Razorback sign in Atkins, IMO.

[Breems]

Someone get on Google Earth and get a pic, dang it!

[Arkansasbeaux]

My Girlfriend and I saw it as well on the way to the spring game yesterday. It said something to the extent of "Thank you Coach Petrino for bringing back Arkansas Football".  I am sure I got the quote wrong but it was something like that. Very nicely done billboard.

[HogCzar1]

Sounds great. Can't wait to see it. Get that pic!

[Ugly Uncle]

I kind of thought 3mil a year was a nice "thank you."

[batman15]

OP, pics or smites.

The choice is yours.

[YoMama]

Pics or it didn't happen

[DEVIL DOG HOG]

Went to Google Earth,saw the billboard but I don't have enough computer knowledge to get in front of the sign. It is in front of the Hixson Lumber company.

Nothing can replace the words "thank you"...

So is everyone of the impression that Google Earth is updated in real time?  Like if I stepped outside and waved, you would see me on Google Earth?

[Ugly Uncle]

This was more than just a "Thank you" by some Arkansas fan.  This will be a reminder to all recruits, coaches, future recruits and future high school coaches that Arkansas is a legitimate national power.  A state united behind our University.  This is a huge recruiting tool for Petrino with out BP ever having to say anything to the hundreds of people that will drive by that sign.

This was probably meant as a simple "thank you" by some Arkansas fan, but its impact will be much bigger than that, and will help BP out.  I like it.

Wonder if Hixson or some of his employees paid for it?

They usta have a big Razorback on the lumber company didn't they?

That little car with the ball on top will drive by soon enough.

Make sure your blinds are closed.

In you first post, you were basically saying $$$ was a "thank you", then in your second post, you finally get it (and add some odd out of context  rebuttal to my post)... 

[YodaHog]

Saw this too.

It says 'thank you for bringing winning and excitement back to Razorback football' -- Razorback Nation

Mind=blown.

I was home when they drove past my house. Now when I look at the street view I wonder what I was doing that day.

I'm sorry.  I should have been more clear.  I wasn't writing a rebuttal to your post.  I thought everyone knew that I think BP is the best coach in America and we should do everything we can to keep him.  I don't think that BP cares about "thank you" to what he does.  But the billboard is a good way to say "thank you" because it helps BP and the program recruit.

I know I wasn't clear on either of my post or the connection of the two. 

[NWARazor]

Really would like to see a picture of it! Can we get some put up in Miss. around Oxford!?!

[Piglet Dispersion Syndrome]

The billboard is close to me as well, and looks great.  I'll get a pic of it tomorrow afternoon on my way home on my iphone. Someone PM me an email address and I'll send it and you guys can post it on here.

No worries - both you and I think CBP is an excellent coach.  Additionally, I'd agree with you that he probably doesn't care about anyone saying thank you via billboard.

Everyone likes a pat on the back from time to time.........

[The Great Hambino]

I can't believe no one took a picture of the billboard today. Surely someone here goes by this thing every day and can get a pic.

[Arkapigdiesel]

I'll continue to bump this thread until I see a pic.

[31to6]

I don't make 3Mill, but I do make a nice living. It's still nice when someone in upper mgmt says 'thanks'.

As anyone sent this guy a PM so he can send them the pic?

I drove by it today.  I was going east, but looked back to see it.  It is two billboars high.  Couldn't read  all of it because that wouldn't be safe, but it is very well done and attractive.

Tomorrow I will be headed west and I will stop and get a picture of it if no one has posted one by then.

Thanks UU

[ADAM_713]

I think for continuity purposes we should fly a banner saying thank you.

[Pig in the Pokey]

i will begin smiting all who claim they will put up a pic but didn't (& the OP) @ noon today until the pic is up. ghg

[ChitownHawg]

Adding to this we should fly one over Ole Miss' stadium thanking their school for taking HDN off our hands, and allowing us to kick his butt every year. It wouldn't have been as much fun if he had went to another conference. 

[Pike1347]

Saw this too.

It says 'thank you for bringing winning and excitement back to Razorback football' -- Razorback Nation

This ^^  And I could have swore it showed what appeared to be a quote from Petrino saying "Make no mistake.... it is our turn" towards the bottom.  And it did appear to be 2 billboards high.  I was so excited to see it I didn't have time to get my camera ready.

[Pike1347]

While trying to do a google search to see if anyone posted pics anywhere I came across a bunch of links where Petrino bought billboard space in Arizona to attract recruits.

[The Great Hambino]

So CAN you.

[hogfanforever]

I will be headed that way in less than an hour, so I will STOP and take a picture of the billboard and post it.

Also, Hixson does have a Razorback on their sign.
