KNOCK ON WOOD : Slive takes right action, for wrong reason

Excellent article, Mr. Wood. I hope Commissioner Slive reads this.

I completely agree. However, I just hope that the coaches & players at Arkansas aren't dwelling on this as much as the fans & media are or else were in for a dissappointing game Saturday. It was terrible & unjust, but it's done. Are we going to be content to be victims & feel sorry for ourselves, or are we going to dust ourselves off & win the rest of 'em?

I am also concerned about the players dwelling on this travesty of justice by these incompetent and clearly biased officials instead of focusing all their attention and energy on optimum preparation for Ole Miss.
