FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Bobby Petrino enjoys talking about his childhood love of motorcycles. He has had a thing for them since he was 10, though there have been mishaps along the way.

The latest was perhaps the most serious. The Arkansas coach veered off a two-lane highway in the rolling hills of northern Arkansas on Sunday night, crashing his motorcycle and winding up in the hospital.

State Police spokesman Bill Sadler confirmed details of the accident Monday and that Petrino was taken to a hospital. The coach's family said in a statement released by the school that Petrino was in "stable condition."

"Coach Petrino was involved in a motorcycle accident on Sunday evening that involved no other individuals," the statement said. "He is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery. Our family appreciates respect for our privacy during the recovery and we are grateful for the thoughts of Razorback fans at this time."

Neither Washington Regional Medical Center in Fayetteville or Northwest Medical Center in Springdale would confirm Petrino was a patient. Athletic director Jeff Long said he met with Petrino and his wife, Becky, at a hospital on Monday afternoon, but disclosed no details of any injuries.

"Coach Petrino is resting comfortably and is encouraged by the progress of his recovery," he said. "I know that he is very much looking forward to returning to spring practice at the earliest opportunity. In the course of our visit, the Petrinos expressed their appreciation for all the thoughts and well wishes that have come in from all over the country."

The accident occurred near the small town of Crosses, 20 miles southeast of Fayetteville. Arkansas Highway 16 is a winding road popular with motorcyclists. Sadler said Petrino's motorcycle left the highway and crashed, adding that it take 2-3 days before Petrino's accident report is available....

Truth remains if not for Bobby's chicken shit decisions and character we wouldn't be where we are today... which is way better off IMO.
