Houston Nutt must be cool if, when you bring up the most painful thing to happen to him in his professional life, he just keeps chatting along and doesn’t even flinch when you bring up a harebrained fourth and short call.
Listen to the interview here, where Nutt does not say GIGGITY! once or say anything vaguely crazy. He does call Michael Oher “a beautiful guy,” though.
Damn right, coach.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

Rationally, most outsiders would put Arkansas’s football program at probably 7th in the SEC in potential. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, and LSU would all come before Arkansas historically and currently. Can we agree on that? If you’re able to take an objective look at your program, you’d agree with that. You’re no longer in the SWC, where you were one of the top 2-3 programs.
I’ll give you that your program stands slightly above mine, with South Carolina, MSU, Kentucky, and Vandy bringing up the rear in the SEC historically and in terms of potential.
So you’re 7th out of 12 teams. That means that just over half of your games over time are going to be against schools with a better program. Given that, don’t you think that a .500 record in the SEC or close to it is pretty reasonable, or at least about what you should expect over an extended period?
That’s just reality. Given my program’s history and position in the conference (I say it’s the 8th best program), consistently finishing around .500 would be pretty good, especially if it included the occasional season where we competed for a championship.

“Somewhere, a shoe is going unshined because of your time spent badmouthing a program that has owned yours for a very long while.”
I never knew there were so many anger sports douche bags in Arkansas.
shit, the Ole Miss Arkansas series stands at 24-29. Not exactly ownership by any standard.
Plus, the hawgs should be forced to forfeit the Matt Jones era due in part to performance enhancing drugs. ( cocaine + 7 overtimes = victory)

#25 - at least half of your original argument is speculative, and you have your own share of incorrect facts (Danny Ford didn’t have 2 winning conference seasons; he went 3-4 -1 once, — if you give him credit for a game that he lost 43-3 to Alabama but was later given by forfeit, then you are grasping at straws to make Ford look respectable,[albeit 4-3-1 still not being a winning record] and 6-2 once, while winning the divisional tiebreaker over Alabama). The truth of the matter is that Ford was abysmal.
Combined, Ford went 16-24-1 in SEC play, even giving him the benefit of the Alabama Forfeit. That’s absolutely atrocious next to Nutt’s 42-40 in SEC play. The comparison gets even wider when you go outside of conference play.
The plain math is evident; ask any football fan, if they had to endure a down period in their program, would they rather be a .390 program, or a .512 program in Conference Play, and you’ll *never* hear anyone ask for the .390.
The Ford Era was good only in comparison to the Crowe Era.

To 18 -
“Blind Nutt hatred is what kept that scumbag in Fayetteville so long; the inability to martial reasoned arguments, and the willingness to fly off the handle and claim that the Nutt era was some kind of ‘New Dark Age’ on the Hill only lends strength to the mis-perception that Arkansas fans were off their rockers in their anti-Nutt revolt, and why people continue to have skewed visions of the program even now.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I believe I offered numbers and historical fact and corrected YOUR mistakes. That means you can’t come back with “cause I said so” as an argument to counter what I said, and then try to claim I can’t martial a reasoned argument. Pointing out the facts does not lessen your credibility as an able debater, but emboldens it. Please have facts and not feelings the nest time you decide to question my ability to form a rational and cogent argument.

I’ll be the first to tell you there are some hog fans who care way too much about houston nutt. I honestly get really tired of hearing about him and wish some of them would quit being so curious about how life at ole miss will be. That being said, yall do not have a coach that is good enogh to hang with whats around him: Miles, Tubberville, Saban, Fulmer, and Croom. Because of what coach O recruited yall will have a couple midly succussful years, but after that….

A Rebel fan talking smack to Hog fans?
Somewhere, a shoe is going unshined because of your time spent badmouthing a program that has owned yours for a very long while.
This is why Hog fans don’t talk smack at Florida– they’re aware of the need for some humility.

I really get a kick out of all the internet Hog fans that pop up every time a reference is made to the name Houston Nutt. You could create a porn site named dedicated solely to ejaculations in Texas and name it “Houston Nutts”, and you’d get thousands of hits from all parts of Arkansas in seconds.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. All you Hogs with your internet savvy would be better served spending your time stalking your new coach. There is a pretty good chance he’s meeting with Kevin White about the Notre Dame job as we speak. If you don’t keep close tabs on your new guy, you may not even have a coach by October 25.

I think that’s the only drunken error I made.
