When you're 2-9 and winless in your conference, I guess you've gotta find ways to make better use of your Saturdays because football just ain't working.

That seems to be what's happening down in Arkansas, where two players were suspended for socializing and taking pictures with members of the Mississippi State dance team before a 52-6 loss.

From NWAOnline.com:

"They will not be here today or yesterday or any part of this week for unacceptable behavior - actions that are completely unacceptable to anything we're about," Arkansas coach Chad Morris said Monday without specifically referencing the event at Mississippi State.

...

Asked about the incident following the game, Arkansas senior linebacker Dre Greenlaw said he was not aware of players talking with cheerleaders, but added, "That's not something I would do. I surely wasn't doing it.

"Some people have got different focuses. Obviously, you could see this game we weren't in the right mindset."

I mean, I can only knock it to a point, because it sounds like their trip was at least a bit more productive than everyone else's.
