The University of Arkansas released the records of Bobby Petrino’s school-issued cell phone Wednesday afternoon.
The records date back to 8:12 a.m. on Sept. 12, and prove the relationship between Petrino and Jessica Dorrell dates back at least that far. Dorrell’s number first appears at 11:33 a.m. on Sept. 12.
There is daily contact between the two, including on Razorback game days. On Sept. 17, when Arkansas hosted Troy in the third game of the year, Petrino called Dorrell at 8:21 a.m. She texted him at 9:06 a.m. and he replied at 9:28 a.m. Dorrell then called Petrino at 1:26 p.m., just over four and a half hours before kickoff.
Petrino either sent or received a message to or from Dorrell every game day, including Sept. 24, the day of the Alabama game. Dorrell sent Petrino a text at 1:48 p.m., less than an hour before the 2:30 p.m. kickoff of a game Arkansas would lose, 38-14.
On Nov. 19, after the game against Mississippi State—a 44-17 Arkansas win in Little Rock—Petrino sent Dorrell a text at 9:20 p.m., which started a 26-message conversation between the two.
On April 1, the day Petrino wrecked his motorcycle, he called Dorrell at 3:24 p.m., speaking for 10 minutes. She called him back minutes later at 3:39 and they spoke for six minutes.
Immediately after the crash, from 6:41 p.m. to 7:06 p.m., Petrino made seven phone calls, none to Dorrell, and at least one to Arkansas State Trooper Lance King, as well as Becky Petrino, the coach’s wife.
Petrino and Dorrell talked three times the next day, once for 22 minutes at 4:06 p.m.
The next day was Tuesday, April 3, when Petrino held his news conference and returned to practice. The pair talked three times before 8:30 a.m., then once at 3:55 p.m. The police interview concluded roughly 6:30 p.m. that night, and Petrino called Dorrell at 8:55 p.m., and again at 9:05 p.m.
On April 5, the police report became public, and it was learned Petrino had a passenger. He and Dorrell exchanged 10 phone calls that day, the first at 1:50 p.m. and continuing, multiple times per hour, until Petrino tried—and failed—to reach Dorrell at 5:42 p.m.
The records also indicate several picture messages were exchanged between Petrino and Dorrell.
