Bobby's back, 10 years after abrupt exit

FAYETTEVILLE — The last image of Missouri State coach Bobby Petrino in Fayetteville is one Arkansans would like to forget.

Neck in a brace and face bruised fresh off a motorcycle accident, Petrino sat in front of reporters one final time in Northwest Arkansas back in 2012. It was the onset of a well-documented scandal, which led to his firing and years of struggles for the Razorbacks.

Petrino returns when his Bears visit the No. 10 Razorbacks on Saturday. He's not sure how the trip will affect him.

“I think we’ll see when I get there,” he said.
