Bobby Petrino faces his polarizing past in return to Arkansas

Ten years ago, he went from highly successful coach to punchline amid a sensational scandal. Now Bobby Petrino returns to Fayetteville for the first time, as coach of FCS Missouri State.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- Bobby Petrino knows what's coming.

He has been called many things over the years, but he is not naive.

The job he's done in resurrecting a moribund Missouri State program and turning the Bears into FCS title contenders speaks for itself. But this week, Petrino's past, and not his present, will be the focus when his team, ranked No. 5 in the latest FCS poll, makes the 120-mile trip to Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

Petrino is well aware the first thing that pops up when doing a Google search of his name is the picture of him with a battered red face and neck brace after the motorcycle wreck that set off a chain of events leading to his dismissal at Arkansas and turning him into a punchline.

I'd still like to hear the straight poop on that debacle. Something tells me it had something to do with a pissed off boyfriend. Petrino turns up looking like a Walking Dead extra and Dorrell with not a scratch?

Short ride from Missouri State... Maybe he'll ride over on that motorcycle just to rid himself of that demon.

You said it! What clarity of vision a few years give. Many on this bored we’re clamoring for that jerk over CMS back in late 2012. That murmur turned into a howl after Stoops lost his first game to Petrino at WKU. Thank god things turned out like they did.🙏

For a wreck his girlfriend and motorcycle turned out in good shape. Now the boyfriend of the girl had bruised knuckles and a sore foot from beating on an idiot. I hope this trip goes better for Bobby!

Hope they fly the boyfriend in for the game. Honor him at halftime

Dude can catch...He's just a just not a model human relatively speaking. He reaps what he sows. He's had more changes than most. He's thrown those chances back in faces of those who trusted him. Hope he gets the laces beat off him. Of course, his players don't deserve that. He sure does. Razorbacks by 35+. Would be more if Sam P. were a scumbag, but he's not. Sam is a good guy, a respectable man. Go Hogs in this one.
