Arkansas absolutely dominated in its opening game, so it was a nice debut for offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino. Well, it was a return to Arkansas for the OC.
“Bobby, I’m sure he feels pretty good tonight,” Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said postgame “Ten tries and 10 touchdowns, that’s that’s hard to do. I don’t care who you play. So, I’m really happy for him and told the team, I think it’s the first time in history that that’s happened, and it happened when Bobby came back. The legend is going to continue to grow. Good for him, he deserves it.”
The Cowboys rolled too, but head coach Mike Gundy had one of the best quotes of the weekend when he jokingly said he should hire Connor Stalions. Stalions was the alleged mastermind behind the Michigan sign-stealing scandal.
It was in relation to Gundy adjusting seeing iPads on the sideline.
“They have them upstairs and down,” Gundy said about the iPads. “That will be a discussion in the morning, what we got out of it, what changes we need to make. This is all so new. The earpiece.
“It will be interesting when we review it in the morning, you try to learn and make it better… The technology is so different this year. I didn’t use it, I don’t have time to look at that and then also know what’s going on on the field. I need to know what’s going on in the game to make decisions. If I was looking at a tablet, it would be hard for me to do that as a play caller.”
A follow-up question was then asked if Gundy could be in on the conversation between quarterback Alan Bowman and offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn. Gundy replied he was not but did joke about potentially hiring Connor Stalions to get some help with the technology before referencing the Shaggy song “It Wasn’t Me.”
“If anybody is a good IT guy,” Gundy said. “We can get the guy from Michigan here and let him hook me up. Even though he didn’t do it.”

Texas bee swarm hospitalizes 3; Arkansas doctors explain warning signs of severe reactions
LITTLE ROCK (KATV) — A bee swarm attack in Texas sent three people, including a firefighter, to the hospital this week, while Arkansas medical experts said most bee stings are not dangerous but can become life-threatening in certain cases.
Authorities in San Antonio said the three victims were hospitalized after being swarmed and stung by aggressive bees. Officials have not released details on what triggered the attack or the species involved.
Doctors in Arkansas said the biggest risk from a bee sting is not the sting itself, but a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis.
“The concern when you have a bee sting is if you develop a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis,” said Dr. Garrett Lewis, chief medical officer at St. Vincent Infirmary.
Lewis said warning signs include throat swelling, difficulty breathing and feeling faint, which require immediate medical attention.
“If you’re experiencing any throat swelling or severe shortness of breath, you need to seek medical care immediately,” Lewis said.
He added that people who are stung multiple times may also be at risk even without a known allergy, because each sting introduces additional venom into the body.
In the event of a swarm, Lewis said the priority should be escaping the area as quickly as possible and removing any stingers once safe.
“Seek water, seek indoor,” Lewis said. “Once you’re away from the swarm, you want to make sure that you are removing any stingers that might still be in your skin.”
Lewis also said symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and widespread hives can indicate a serious reaction.
While the Texas incident resulted in hospitalizations, a recent swarm outside a Little Rock business ended without injuries after bees briefly gathered on a tree limb before being safely removed by a beekeeper.
Lewis said the best prevention is awareness of surroundings and understanding when medical care is needed after a sting.
