Is incest surprising in SEC country? Seems not by these changes? :wink2:

Checked the roster. Mississippi does not have a Dick.

They do have a Johnson - and he is only a Freshman.

Don't worry, help is on the way.

Next year brings Willie Packer onto the squad, curiously, he is not slated to play at Tight End.

Oh, yeah Nutt got a big clap when introduced today.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) -- In Mississippi, Houston Nutt is adored.
Nutt was introduced to 1,500 cheering fans during a news conference less than 48 hours after resigning at Arkansas and the day after Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone announced he'd hired Nutt to resurrect a football program that has lost its way.
"It gives me chills when you clap and applaud because it means you're hungry," Nutt said.
No doubt Nutt is wanted in Mississippi, where they embrace his winning record and have seen up close how good his Arkansas teams have been. Just five weeks ago the Razorbacks came to Oxford and beat the Rebels 44-8.

does anyone else clap when Nutt arrives?

I'm more likely to just sit there.

Really I blame myself.

I joked to the lady sitting next to me that Nutt got the clap when he put Dick in to find a wide open receiver.

So she laughed and applauded - then the joke just went around the room, peaking at the same time the ousted Arkansas coach reached the podium.

Last time I tell a joke in mixed company, I swear.

You mean R-Kansas? :wink2:

Truth be told, when I learned of Nutt's hire in Oxford, I went scrambling for their roster hoping the humor could continue. Sadly, there's no sign of a Dick, Johnson, or Ball at present. Maybe they can recruit a Wang or a Pecker so we may preserve the streak.

We could get a "Deacons beat Nutt at home" headline next year, though.

Now (the) Nutt is sore at Ole Miss....

Apology no longer all Houston Nutt will settle for from Ole Miss

It seemingly could’ve been so simple for Ole Miss.

In the midst of an NCAA investigation into allegations levied against the football program, the university, in what its former head coach and its lawyer said was a concerted and organized effort, laid the lion’s share of the blame for the potential violations at the feet of Houston Nutt. Nutt wasn’t pleased with the portrayal at the time the Notice of Allegations was issued in May of last year, and stated in May of this year that, if a public apology wasn’t forthcoming, he would file a defamation lawsuit against the university.

That apology never came, leading Nutt to file a lawsuit in mid-July alleging that Hugh Freeze and other Ole Miss officials engaged in a clandestine smear campaign to pin the allegations of NCAA violations on their former coach. The lawsuit levied some rather serious accusations, including Freeze allegedly conducting off-the-record conversations with prominent journalists and recruits to falsely spread the narrative that most of the recruiting violations occurred under Nutt’s watch. It also, ultimately, led to the discovery of phone records that triggered Freeze’s ouster as head coach.

As it stands in the here and now, Nutt would still accept a public apology from all involved. However, he won’t simply settle for a mea culpa as Nutt’s attorney has dug his heels in for what could prove to be a protracted and even nastier — and public — battle royale between the two sides.
