Mallett out for the spring with injury

FAYETTEVILLE ? Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino isn?t a fan of making his quarterbacks wear jerseys that are a different color than other players.
So it was a bad sign when sophomore Ryan Mallett showed up to Tuesday?s practice in a bright yellow jersey to go along with the prominent cast covering his injured right thumb.

Petrino confirmed earlier in the afternoon what has been known for several days: Mallett will miss the remaining two weeks of spring practice because of a thumb injury suffered midway through last Friday?s scrimmage.

?He was making some improvement and feeling more comfortable, and (I) actually thought (he) was throwing the ball better,? Petrino said during a 20-minute interview with The Morning News on Tuesday. ?And then all of a sudden he?s done for the spring.?

Mallett?s injury opens the door for backups Alex Mortensen and Nathan Dick to get more snaps in practice. And for at least the time being, senior Casey Dick won?t have to worry about looking over his shoulder, wondering if his place as Arkansas? starting quarterback is secure.

Arkansas doesn't have any sophisticated sounding euphemisms for their team colors? How pathetic. Even IU has the "crimson and cream".

FIFY

put this in the "no [censored] sherlock" category. The NCAA denied his petition for immediate eligibility.

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.

What an assclown.

wtf?

[Dryden]

Oh well. At least Mallett transferred out of UM and got into a stable program with good family values and a coach that has been lauded for his loyalty to his program, so there's no risk of the HC bolting on him for greener pastures there.

Casey Dick will start this year for Arkansas.

I wonder if Dick is still sore even without Nutt around.

I can see the article now. "Nutt's gone but Dick still sore".

Or perhaps..."Dick Healthy Now With Nutt Gone".

[Dryden]

Well, you've got Casey Dick and now little brother Nathan both on the roster, so the Razorbacks have a couple of Dicks getting reps under center this year. Next year when "Big Tex" is eligible though, look out, Dick will probably get beat by Mallett.

Oh man, don't even start with the Dick headlines. When Casey got hurt, it was a comedy in the papers.

Ah, what the heck...fire away, I like it when Mountain Dew blows out my nose.
