LAS CRONICAS DE BOSS HAWG: WE'RE SPEECHLESS.

I’m so glad that Joe Paterno still uses carrier pigeons.

That aside, will someone please tell me how the fuck Houston Nutt still has a job?

+1, RUTS. We’ll be attempting to intercept a few on their way in the coop.

Just a couple pages in……..

They have a season ticket holder and close friend of the head coach forwarding emails to the quarterback titled “Mr. Interception King”???

Mitch Mustain’s mom is named Beck?

Weird

it’s a good thing the texting secrets of the coaching staff at UF is safe from these insane prying eyes, seeing as we’ve just formally requisitioned tOSU’s communication devices to use as our own. phones, along with the tOSU athletic department’s office supplies, furniture and even the carpet are currently being sent from columbus to gainesville. this is one of the perks of completely owning another college’s athletic program….

so i just spent a half hour reading that thing and here’s my synopsis. Teresa Pruette can write some funny shit, albeit a little mean-spirited, it’s funny nonetheless. Houston Nutt has an eye for wry commentary, and it’s probable that houston and danny knew about/agitated for the e-mails the Ms. Pruette sent out…. the one thing I cant figure out is, has the Interception King officially left Arkansas for Tulsa yet, or is he still thinking about it. i guess I’ll have to wait til next time on LAS CRONICAS LOCAS DE BOSS HAWG……

Geez, and if you actually read the email on page 32 and 33 of the document… Some people need to take a step back with their sports obsession. I’m not saying I’ve never cussed Chris Capps in a bar or my living room, but I’ve never felt the need to email the guy how much he sucks.

also we need to add a female love interest for some of the characters, any of the Nutt’s banging Ms. Pruette? If only there was a way to bring Mike Price into this equation.

C’mon, you gotta admire the tenacity of a ‘fan’ who pores through phone records to prove the head coach is a liar, in an attempt to besmirch his character and hopefully get him fired.

  This guy deserves points for creativity.

We do…but it’s a bit scary, too.

1. Agreed. there’s no need for us to pile on chris capps, in a way, he helped bring Saban to town. But, “Mr Interception King” was funny the first time I read it, and it will continue to be. Also, i dont know if you heard the clip of the Michigan St radio dude, his meltdown after the ND game was one of the mor ememorable moments from 06’…. (my football related memories cease with time running out in the fouth quarter of a tie game, with bama having a first and goal, and shula decides to put er in the deep freeze, run three in row up the middle and let a guy named Tiffin finish the hogs off…)

Orson, as a Razorback fan, I think we’ve officially jumped the shark as a sports-fan base.

Dana Altman? He couldn’t help but see that public opinion polls were destroying the Athletic Department for his hire, with less than 45% of people ‘supporting the new coach’ the day he was hired. When is a coach’s popularity supposed to be any higher than the day he’s hired?

Then we’ve got the Nutt-watchers. These people have elevated paranoia and obsession to ‘The Fan’ like levels; they file FOI requests for the documents in the garbage of the Deputy Athletic Director’s office, are obsessed with the personal lives and associations of assistant coaches, and are clinging to a vain hope that a coach who won the SEC W, and was likely a boneheaded punt play away from winning the SEC CG will somehow be fired before next season.

Its a disease. I think we’re the world’s first Helicopter Fan Base.

seriously though, is Mustain still technically a Razorback or has he gone somewhere else, cause I remmeber reading that he “might” go to Tulsa, but that it wasn’t offical. (then the AD got canned a week or two later)

He’s still enrolled at Arkansas. He plans, by all accounts, to finish the Spring semester in good academic standing, and to spend the early part of the summer looking at his transfer options.

There are still a delusional few who think he’ll come back, or who think Malzahn will ride in like a conquering hero when the Nutt-dragon is slain, but they’re living in a dream land.

Mustain hasn’t signed anywhere… He’s still attending school at Arkansas to the best of my knowledge… he’s visited Tulsa and USC.

I somehow believe Dana Bragg looks better than Destiny. If Mike Price had been fucking a model, he’d still be the coach. Not even a super model, a regular plain-Jane model would’ve done.

Donna, not Dana.

… and DAMN!!! You go, Big Nutt.

http://www.4029tv.com/newsteam/612751/detail.html#

She went to SMU. Think HDN is giving her “The Death Penalty”?

well CBC, if you would have cared to read all 300 pages (specifically the response letter from Nutt’s attorny) you would know that HDN and DB are just close friends and that HDN was consoling her about some terible medical news she received. (consoling, between midnight and 2 am… 29 times)

Mike P any pics of thei “destiny” i never did read the SI article where they interveiwed her.. there was one of those right?

Ask and you shall recieve. Warning: May cause permanent blindness.

I…that sound? That’s my mind blowing.

#11: Maybe the other 55% of that poll were the people who thought he looked a little bit less than enthusiastic at the press conference in Fayetteville announcing his hiring. If I saw a coach come in here looking like that I’d be wondering where his head was too. Who knows.

You know you\’ve crossed a line when even fans of SEC schools are saying \“Whoa guys, you may need to relax a bit about this whole football thing.\”

After viewing the Destiny photos, all I could think of was the line Jeffrey Ross used at a Friars Club roast about Sandra Bernhard…..

“I wouldn’t #$%& her with Bea Arthur’s d***……..”

This is “Deliverance” meets “All the President’s Men”

I like to think I’m a pretty jaded individual (as do my ex-girlfriends- did anyone know girls aren’t looking for people who are completely sarcastic and emotionally unavailable?), and there’s not much that surprises me. So while this doesn’t necessarily go under surprise, it does go under What.The.Fuck.

I can’t understand all of this stuff, but I am glad that Phil Fulmer is above reproach! I’ve used FOIA to check up on him, and he pretty much makes a few calls for recruiting at the appropriate times, calls his family, consults his pastor as any good Tennesseean would do, etc. I guess not every SEC coach can set such an example.

So he has his assistants make the payments?

(ducks)

RE #28

If you look at page 17 of the Arkansas brief, you’ll note Fulmer also loans his cellphone out to a GA who sends texts like, “What’s up playmaker? Do I have a chance to get you wearing orange and white?”

I’d love for one of these guys to ask Fulmer “send me a text” while he’s conducting the in-home. The only better target I can picture for that trick is Llloyd Carr.

That is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen. That Teresa Prewett is a crzy bitch.

crazy

With this much passion, how has there not been a stabbing?

I’m starting to think that Will and myself are the last two sane Razorback fans on the eBays.

I know where Houston Nutt can land after next season: Houston!

It’ll be great. First off, the University of Houston’s not exactly the pinnacle of college football anymore, so Nutt can regroup there before heading on to the ACC or wherever.

Secondly, Houston’s current coach is probably going to get bought on the human slave trade by Boone Pickens sometime this fall, so UH will need another football coach.

And lastly, for crying out loud, the man’s name is Houston! He’s a little older than Chris Houston, so he was named for either Sam Houston or Houston Street in New York. If it’s the latter, what’s funnier than a New Yorker having to be in Houston for a year? It’s glorious!

You rat bastards. I had to ask for info, but only got the PDF courtesy of a fellow journalist this afternoon. and couldn’t post about it until covering yet another blowout high school game.

I did break it down, though, at journorock.blogspot.com, if you like that sort of Cliff’s Notes football punditry.

Hey, Bama fans seem a little less wacko after reading that.

Apparently Coach Nutt isn’t familiar with Neil McCauley’s crew….“call me back on a land line”

Las Chronicas De Boss Hawg sounds like the perfect Oliver Stone movie. It’s basically Any Given Sunday meets JFK. I could totally see Kathy Bates as the fiery Ms. Prewett.

4 things that I find myself zoning in on…
1)Arrelious Benn and Fulmer wireless relationship (Fat Phil = Jamie Kennedy)
2)Major Applewhite as a role model (Roll Damn Tide)
3)The Hogs treat their recruits to the “Catfish Hole”? (didn’t the CDC conclude that all VD’s began there?)
 
and lastly,

4)cellphone contact 19 min. before kickoff… oh, yeah he’s hitting it…

I always wondered what those crazy, smelly fucks in my law library were researching and writing for hours on end. Now I know. But why are there Hogs fans in San Diego?

You know, this whole thing does get ultra crazy when you toss in the Altman thing. Players failing drugs tests, and failing classes? Rumors of Bomaring amongst the players? What a cesspool. Altman stepping back should be a big old red flag to the Ark. State GAO or Oversight committee or town meeting or whatever it is they do democratically to control spending and whatnot.

But hey, ever since Dawson’s Creek went off the air, I’ve been jonesing for some good drama. Thanks, R- Kansas.

I thought that disturbingly comical scene with the Bama fans swarming Saban was the creepiest fan-realted cfb episode ever. I stand corrected.

The inmates have been running this asylum for decades, it’s just now getting national pub.

As an outsider now living in this _______ _______ (fill in the blanks) place, I take great pleasure in poking “Real Razorback Fans” with sharp sticks and listen to them rant and carry on. Cheap entertainment.

This backwater shithole is SO fucked up.

Nice expo Orson.

Destiny = Joe Namath with a wig.

Thanks for the Boss Hawg pic, Orson. You made my morning.

Maskedavenger #33, is the following passionate enough for you?

http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,2050849,00.html

Dear Mr. Text Message King: You’re not the only one who does more with less! Call me!

Interestingly, Nutt sent his little lady friend a "What’s up playmaker? Do I have a chance to get you wearing orange and white?" message as well during one of their 1am texting orgies.

Who knew he had an orange creamsicle fetish?

Read it, every word. I need a shower. Feeling dirty. Crazy people. TV News chick has all her teeth. Strange doings in R-Can-Saw. Mind numbing view of complete lunacy.

“She’s also a member of Immaculate Conception Church.”

Perfect! Donna’s tubes are tied!

Remind me when my wife goes to her mom’s funeral to “console” my hot “friend” after 12:30 am at a local hotel.

Come on now,

Fayetteville and NW Arkansas are no more or less backwater shitholes than most of the towns in the south. Hell, F’vill/Springdale area have made a few “best places to live” lists. It’s just a little more remote than most, which enhances the “experience” of backwater shithole for some.

And overall, there is ONE guy on academic probation right now, TWO guys tested for weed (so, its not like we are slinging crack rocks at Walton) and if anyone paid the basketball team, I want a damn refund. Our overall situation is no worse than that of many other programs in that regard – what’s killing Arkansas is the fact that a segment of the “fanbase” has lost their damn mind in their assault of Houston Nutt and are apparently willing to bring everything down with it. This is what you get in the age of the interwebs. I was ready to send him packing after 2 straight losing seasons, but we kept him and he won 10 games and the West last year – I wonder if some of these people realize the type of coach you get if you get Nutt removed in the middle of the spring.

Fayetteville and NW Arkansas are no more or less backwater shitholes than most of the towns in the south.

And that right there is why we in Big Ten country still feel pretty good about ourselves.

Tom, so what if you have 40,458,210 friends?

I lived in Big Ten country for a healthy portion of my life – rural Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana are the south without the characters

The 48 page article just takes parts to make Coach Nutt look bad and gives the impression he is playing around on his cell phone. My suggestion is to read the whole cell phone records and you can see how much he loves to recruit and loves the hogs.

There’s rednecks everywhere, they just talk differently.

Apparently JIm Delaney’s posting alias is Tom.

As everyone knows, the internets is a series of tubes and these tubes were just installed here in Arkansaw a week ago. That explains why this is all happening now, in the spring.

As for those who do not understand this in Arkansas, or Jerkwheat, imagine if this Nutt was your alumnus coach or even your boss?

Maskedavenger #33, is the following passionate enough for you?

Effing Italian fans. Every time there’s an incident with foreign fans getting stabbed by Lazio (Nazio) and Roma ultras, the majority of the stab wounds are in the back and the ass – even with overwhelming odds, they only attack people who are running away. Sort of like Abyssinia in the 30s – I suppose the lesson for the Man U fans is that they had shown up with spears, they would have won too.

Or, to get back on topic, Italian soccer makes Arkansas football fans look a little bush-league.

Now that Dana Altman has jilted Arkansas, will you sue the pig?

See, DC Trojan is an example of why I love playing USC.

Whipping out a reference to the only failed European colonization attempt on the Dark Continent will be any “Here Pig, Soooooo-weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” taunt.

Lol. Those Arkansas people are psychopath’s.

#52, pot…kettle…black…thing.

Last time I checked, the thriving metropoli of Champaign-Urbana, Bloomington, East Lansing, Lafayette, and Iowa City (to name a few) don’t have much to boast about. Oh yeah, and don’t forget who pwns C-bus.

Sometimes it’s better to live in a backwater shithole with some excitement, than a …well… just a plain, stagnant shithole.

“The 48 page article just takes parts to make Coach Nutt look bad and gives the impression he is playing around on his cell phone. My suggestion is to read the whole cell phone records and you can see how much he loves to recruit and loves the hogs.”

Bigdeal I would love to see those records. Can you post me some sort of link where I can see them? Or can you tell me about them since apparently you’ve seen them yourself?

Arkaloidal cops- you can’t make this stuff up.

http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=44060

RE #55, BigDeal

you are a freaking moron you know that?

do you walk with a stick or a dog, or does someone just lead you around?

See, DC Trojan is an example of why I love playing USC.

Many thanks, sir.

Arkaloidal cops- you can’t make this stuff up.

Well, if he gets fired, I bet the DC police will take him on. They didn’t fire the woman who used her service revolver to shoot her neighbor’s dog because said dog wouldn’t stop barking, and that was deliberate.

On the other hand, I’m not aware of any IHOPs in our fair city, so maybe he won’t be interested.

He might get downgraded to Waffle House duty.

No. 65: Here’s the site with all records.

Enjoy.

Did Teresa Prewett retain animation rights to Mr. Interception King? What about Mrs. Interception King and Mr. Interception King, Jr.?

If your headcoach was complicit in sending harrassing emails to your school’s biggest football recruit ever, would you be a little bit upset?

Every Arkansas fan knows that Nutt was forced to hire Gus Malzahn to get Mitch Mustain.

Every Arkansas fan felt like Nutt resented Malzahn and by proxy, Mustain.

Every Arkansas fan felt that Mustain was treated unfairly during the 2006 season.

Finding out that we weren’t crazy, and that our head coach actually DID have it in for Mustain, and even most likely HELPED send harrassing emails to our star player has most Arkansas fans a little bit angry right now.

Everything else is just icing on the Hate Nutt Cake.

He should be long gone, but the good ole boy network keeps him alive.

If Arkansas fans are insane, its only because they are subjected to an incredibly inept, corrupt athletic department which shelters its own inspite of unacceptable, unethical behavior and malice directed at 18 year old kids.

Carney Man:

You don’t speak for every Arkansas fan; not by a long shot.

Mustain wasn’t treated unfairly; he was treated like a true freshman QB who was regressing rather than progressing, despite increasing exposure to SEC play. I would have been upset with Nutt if he’d left Mustain in, and they’d botched an opportunity to play for the SEC title.

The problem is that the fanatic base (not the fan base) has ready-made conclusions that are Anti-Nutt; everything revolves around the Nutt-paranoia. Basketball coach fired? Must be Nutt. New basketball coach flees after less than 24 hours? Nutt again. It rained tuesday? Houston is the Debil!

I want Nutt fired for a multitude of my own reasons. I don’t want the Arkansas program to be a laughing stock because of it’s fans, instead of it’s coach, which it has long since passed.

70 comments and counting— and if you think that is only Houston Dale Nutt’s fault, you need to take a long, sobering look in the mirror.

here here Will

couldn’t have said it better

What are 3-17 and 29 yards?

Answer: Casey Dick’s stats against LSU.

Good thing we took out that 7-0 starter Mitch Mustain so we’d have a better chance to get to the SEC Championship game.

Nutt completely lacks integrity. And I said this before it became increasingly likely that he’s an adulterer. Score 1 for me…

Will, the point of the FOI request was NOT to determine who HDN might or might not be allegedly seeing “on the side”.

The point, which is easily ascertained by casually viewing the FOI materials, is that Nutt almost without questions knew and condoned the harrassment of Mitch Mustain by a party close to the athletic department.

At the very LEAST he knew about it and did nothing until confronted by his boss.

His wife receieved copies of the email. His brother, an ASSISTANT coach receieved copies of the email.

NOTHING was done, and Nutt claimed to know nothing about it.

The reason the UA athletic department is involved in this circus is because of the actions of its employees, not because of a bunch of whacko fans.

Its only because of these fans that anybody gives a damn about what a spiteful, pathetic excuse for a coach Houston Nutt is.

You are correct that there are dozens of reasons to dislike Nutt as a coach.

The FOI materials prove that beyond his incompetence, he is a fool, a charlatan and willing participant in harrassment of the best football player to come out of the state of Arkansas ever.

IF the University of Arkansas athletic department would act on these FACTS, crazy fans wouldn’t have to resort to airing all of their filthy laundry on the internet.

The University of Arkansas athletic department deserves to be embarrassed.

Their inaction on this matter is pitiful.

There are REASONS Gus Malzahn (OC of the year, btw) left for equal or lesser pay to go to TULSA after one year at Arkansas.

It ain’t because of “crazy fans”. These “crazy fans” LOVE Malzahn.

Its because the athletic department is corrupt and morally bankrupt.

As for the “Big Ten country” comment, I sincerely wish more of you concurred. I could use a lot less Big Ten “immigration” down here in GA.

The HoF (House of Frank) is crumbling.

What school let’s the retiring, lame duck AD do a solo coach search and hire?

But look on the bright side; since all this recent crap started, the rumors that Nutt was being groomed to be the next AD once Frank retires/dies/forgets how to get to the campus/ have vanished.

Cut your losses, move to the Missouri Valley Conference because it’ll be some time before UA is consistently competitive in the SEC, if ever.

Hey Drogue— Arkansas has more national titles in Men’s Athletics since joining the SEC than any other institution in the conference.

Like it or not, it is one of the premiere athletic institutions in the SEC, and pretty easily the top all around athletic department in the SEC West.

Primarily due to John McDonald and the track team.

With the exception of the run Richardson’s outstanding ‘92-’95 hoops team had, the Hogs haven’t been much more than a blip on the national scene in football or basketball.

Ok, so everybody knows Houston’s a douch bag. It’s out and everyone from EDSBS to ESPN is talking about it. Houston is a bastard.
That doesn’t bother me. Hell Switser was the biggest dick head on the planet during his days at OU. Talk about indiscretions. He was nailing his OC wife!
The thing that bothers me the most is that fact that Houston sent some bimbo 1,100 text messages during prime text message recruting season but yet couldn’t find the time to send one text to the two best players in the state.
At least Switzer did his job. Houston is a lazy selfrightous prick who can’t coach and does not deserve to coach in an elite conference.

Will #79

Way to pad stats with a bunch of fucking Track and Field National Championships. Surely you didn’t think you could slip that through unnoticed.

Its still college athletics— and our best coach still has more national titles than anyone, anywhere, any time.

Bite our Razorback red asses.

If you think T&F national titles actually mean something, you might be an Arkansas fan.

“Like it or not, it is one of the premiere athletic institutions in the SEC, and pretty easily the top all around athletic department in the SEC West.”

That’s not what Frank Broyles said.

Logan- the question was football related, that Broyles answered. Yes, currently, the football program is overachieving. Realistically, Arkansas is much better suited to be a basketball/baseball power in the SEC, than a football power.

Sure thing, Will.

Hey, a Nat’l championship is a Championship. My
fav University has been trying to win a Nat’l title for 15 years. Arkansas has beaten our asses everytime. We managed a second and third place finish.

 If we win one, we’ll celebrate like a mofo. Any body
that discounts that is just jealous their program isn’t
competing for one.

If it makes you feel better, Will, John Pelphrey agrees with you — but Dana Altman does not.
