Looks like it's going to be a week long thing.
Tuesday: Nutt house of departures, attacks, innuendo
After coaching Arkansas to a 10-win season and SEC West championship, Houston Nutt should feel great about his career. The reality is something else entirely, writes Ivan Maisel.
Wednesday: Pelphrey hopes to end tumult
Arkansas didn't find out how diminished its basketball product was until the rejections started flowing in. The Hogs' seventh choice faces the task of changing that, writes Pat Forde.
Thursday: The Broyle-ing point
A thoroughly modern melodrama has helped push old-school icon Frank Broyles out the door, and threatens to smudge his sterling legacy on the way out, writes Pat Forde.
Friday: Hog futures
After all the turmoil, departures, firings and hirings, what's next for Arkansas as the school makes the transition to a new era in Razorback athletics? Ivan Maisel canvassed the state to find out.

Can the No. 7 choice turn Arkansas hoops around? "I practice calling 'em twice a day," Pelphrey says dryly. "I will not be chastised for not knowing how.""I wasn't my wife's first choice," Pelphrey says, smiling. "I certainly wasn't Kentucky's first choice [as a player]. Life isn't like that. Opportunities come. I don't need to be first. "It's interesting how we got here. It's interesting how I got to Kentucky, too. That's OK. This is a dream environment for me, it really is." Broyles says. "You can say, 'We got to the NCAA [Tournament], we've been successful.' Baloney. I'm not paying you to get to the NCAA."

That's encouraging to read. Pelphrey has a good attitude about everything. I really really want to be good in basketball again.

Legendary Arkansas icon's run nears finish lineThere is no computer. That's the one thing missing from Frank Broyles' office... He is from a time when Razorback Nation was among the most unified border-to-border fan bases in all of college sports, not a place fractured by a vigilante fan revolt engulfing the football coach and the hotshot ex-quarterback.
