Update: The Arkansas professor who cursed out Bret Bielema has apologized for his words.

"I embarrassed myself, the college and the university. I hold myself to higher standards and have no excuses for my actions," Lawton Lanier Nalley, an assistant professor of agricultural economics and agribusiness at UA, said in a statement. "I especially want to apologize to Coach (Bret) Bielema."

While the university has said it is "very disappointed" in Nalley's words, the assistant professor will keep his job. "Dr. Nalley is remorseful for what occurred," the statement said. "He is respected for his teaching and research, and has been an asset to the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, and the college."

Original story

It's one thing to have a fan cussing you out from the stands, but it's another to have a co-worker doing it.

An Arkansas fan was arrested on Saturday evening for yelling profanities at coach Bret Bielema from the stands during Arkansas' 49-30 loss to Alabama. The fan reportedly yelled "if I had your record I'd be [expletive] fired. [Expletive] you."

You're smart, you can fill in those blanks.

The fan, Lawton Nalley, was arrested and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct after he was escorted from his seat in the stands by University of Arkansas police. Now, this wouldn't seem like that big of a deal if it were just a regular fan, but it's not.

Nalley is a professor at Arkansas. You can find his bio on the school's website, where he's listed as an assistant professor of agricultural economics and agribusiness. It's there we also learn that Nalley received his bachelor's degree from Ohio State, a master's from Mississippi State, and his PhD from Kansas State.
