Bobby Petrino was involved in a motorcycle accident Sunday evening according to Robbie Neiswanger of the Arkansas News. Petrino, the 51-year old football coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks, went to the hospital where he stayed overnight. There’s no word yet on the extent of his injuries.
Petrino has coached Arkansas for the last four years, taking the Razorbacks to three straight bowl games. The Razorbacks, who finished last season ranked 5th, figure to be one of the best teams in the country in 2012.

You can expect a 4 sentence note explaining what happened soon.

just another reason to never own a motorcycle.
Godspeed Coach Petrino.

Bobby Petrino, the Arkansas Football Coach
As opposed to Bobby Petrino, short order line cook.

I bet he had a giant hock of ham riding with him in the sidecar.
April 2nd, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Hope he’s alright. You never want to really see a coach get hurt, unless it’s Brian Kelly.

Donor-cycles as they are known in the ER. My ex-gf got into a pretty back wreck 1 month after we stated dating… Next to her in intensive care was an 18 year old in a coma from a motorcycle wreck.

Did he hit something or inexplicably jump off his bike as he was cruising down the highway?
April 2nd, 2012 at 10:14 AM
it’s a pretty curvey road out towards where he had the wreck and pretty heavily wooded, I would have to think he was getting out the way of something, but no telling.

Someone needs to get BMFP a Kenny Powers-esque Spyder 3 wheeler. Gotta be safer than the 2 wheelers, right?
April 2nd, 2012 at 10:49 AM
so he broke some ribs…it’s all good. that’s why he signed four extra ribs.

knowing the area he wrecked in, I think it’s safe to assume the ambulance he rode is was not all that sexy.
April 2nd, 2012 at 11:18 AM
and knowing petrino, there was a second ambulance on standby incase the first one wasn’t up to snuff.

//have nothing to contribute to mad men

Awesome.
April 2nd, 2012 at 11:50 AM
I think it’s safe to assume the ambulance he rode is was not all that sexyWith all due respect, this is a given, right? We are talking about Arkansas now, aren’t we?
