MALLETT NAILED WITH PUBLIC INTOXICATION

Ryan Mallett is making headlines at Arkansas before ever taking a snap. Too bad they’re for getting arrested.The 20-year-old quarterback, who spent last year sitting out after transferring from Michigan, was arrested just before 4:00 a.m. Sunday morning outside a popular nightclub close to campus. The arrest didn’t sit well with Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino."I am very disappointed that Ryan Mallett put himself in a situation that doesn’t reflect positively on him or on our program,” Petrino said. “All members of the Razorback football team have a responsibility to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner on and off the field. While the legal process has not yet taken its course in this matter, Ryan will face internal team disciplinary action for not representing the Razorbacks in a way that is required of our student-athletes."Mallett spent about an hour in jail before being released on bail. There was no word on where Mallett got drunk, and if he was another victim of a bartender slipping alcohol into his Coca-Cola.
