Do NOT look at espn dot com's section of college football today

[Chappeee]

It'll make you 

[elksnort]

Now, I am going to look.

[rogersvillemohog]

Now, I am going to look.

No, trust me, I made the same mistake! Don't do it elksnort!

[G-HOG]

Was just eating a burrito and it almost made me 

[Chappeee]

And he genuinely believes that he did nothing wrong, correct?

[Jborohog09]

as a OM fan told me, preseason rankings don't matter.

[The Hogfather]

I think it is awesome.  The higher the expectations, the better.  We all know what happens when you heap high expectations on his teams...............they get the "injury bug".......every single one of them.  He's just "UNLUCKY".

[elksnort]

I could not read the whole article. I am not concerned for Nutt like so many others. I know the story. I know his MO and tendancies. He does more with less and then does less with more. He certainly is not a terrible coach although he has made some terrible decisions. One thing is for sure, if Nutt is bad as a head coach, what does this make Orgeron? Yeah, Orgeron got the players there, but......

This is Ole Miss' year coming up. We'll see. I think we all agree on what will likely happen. But frankly, it is not a given that we'll be any good. I'm hoping for at least 7-5 from our boys, with 8-4 being really good. I'm a 'show me' kind of person. So, I am ready to see Petrino get it done at Arkansas. Time will tell.

Again, I did not read the whole article. But I can speculate. People with egos often have a hard time admitting fault. Nutt appears to be one of these types.

[Killean]

I think it's fantastic.


It's a transcendent moment for Ole' Miss football.  Do they break through and become relevant or do they succumb to failure and forever resign themselves to losing in the SEC.

We've seen this before at Arkansas in 1999, only we have a stronger fundamental base to draw from.  The extremely high expectations will make the Rebel tears of failure so much sweeter.

[Pigsknuckles]

OK, I won't.

[cosmodrum]

He looks like he's threating Jevon Snead with a purple nurple if he audibles out of the smoke draw...

[hoggeek]

I could have gone all day without seeing that.

[hammerhog]

can't wait to see ole hotty chew them fingernails

[DEVICEHIGH]

"Houston Nutt has brought swagger back to Ole Miss. Now the only question is if Nutt can avoid the sophomore jinx"

Sophmore jinx? I bet he has already written that one down to use someday.

[Kilgor]

Ole Miss is ranked higher than Alabama and LSU.

Why do we continue to give a crap about these rankings when year in and year out a 3rd grader can tell you they are wrong?

[PorkSoda]

DH, you almost made me spit coke out my nose, and I'm not even drinking one.

[usnavyhogfan]

lol we all know what happens when a nutt lead team has high expectations. they will have a decent year and find there way out of the top 25 by the end of the season

[HamHands]

Good! It will look better when we beat 16 Georgia! I wish we played Ole Piss early, No way they will be that high before we get to kick their arse!

[Sivad]

"Houston Nutt has brought swagger back to Ole Miss."

Are they talking about that chicken dance crap he does on the sidelines?

[3kgthog]

As Dale proved against Wake Forest and Vandy last season, he still hasn't lost that ability to completely snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Expect more of that this season now that he has pressure and expectations on him.

[Kevin]

i say rank them number one.  then watch the fall

[no3putts]

lots of post nagging other fans posting about other schools, most said not for here. This is a razorback board. How long ago was he let go. Seems like yesterday to some on here. you guys still mad over sally leaving you in 7th grade

Wake Forest was a ranked (20th) team at the time...Ole Miss was not.  Any objective person who watched that game knows that Ole Miss played one helluva game but came up short in the end...WF had to make a field goal to win it.

But that's Houston Nutt's fault, right?

Vandy won because Dexter McCluster fumbled the ball on Vandy's 3 yd. line (the go-ahead touchdown), a missed field goal, and 4 interceptions.

But that's Houston Nutt's fault, right?

[farmhawg]

Yes.

Not necessarily...But how many times did we hear that argument while he was at Arkansas?

Now go Frank yourself.

[Landshark]

Yes.

No.

[Kenny Dowell Loggains]

I did and I almost broke the computer screen.

[hawgball9401]

I predict Mr. Nutt will have one more good season.  But when Jevan Snead leaves, so will OM's winning ways.

[Razorvet]

He will bench Snead this season. I read in Athlons SEC preview the Snead was gonna have more freedom to change plays this season. They will lose a game they shouldnt and Snead will get thrown under the bus.

It wouldn't surprise me.........

[Big Papa Satan]

Not to mention he'll freely take credit if Snead changes a play and it works.

yup, who was responsible for getting his team ready so the defense didn't let WF get into FG range, or get the offense ready so there's not four interceptions? Poor QB play and a botched special teams play, sounds like classic Nutt to me.

[Big Papa Satan]

After the upset at Florida - which Florida gave to them, Ole Dork followed it up with two losses.

Classic Nutt.

Dude we've already read the Houston Nutt novel.  Trust us it ends in failure.
You'll be back on here next season with the same excuses.  It's one thing after another.

You two deserve each other. How about you two nuttster lovers go snuggle and come up with something better.

Houston Dale Nutt lost because.... he is Houston Dale Nutt..... A horrific loser, not only on the field but off as well.

[Razorvet]

Wake Forrest has not recruited a four star player in the five years prior to the series with Ole Miss.

Yet they swept them in home and home.

Pathetic excuse for an SEC program.

[Dirty]

DAM IT!  I said I wanted the car fax not the car fox. 

[ncnd]

Nutt can't be blamed for those losses like BP can't be blamed for Kentucky.

[ncnd]

He will bench Snead this season. I read in Athlons SEC preview the Snead was gonna have more freedom to change plays this season. They will lose a game they shouldnt and Snead will get thrown under the bus.

Right like Wilson will overtake Mallet this season.

[ncnd]

yup, who was responsible for getting his team ready so the defense didn't let WF get into FG range, or get the offense ready so there's not four interceptions? Poor QB play and a botched special teams play, sounds like classic Nutt to me.

It poor QB coach and OC play. Kent Austin coaches the QB's and Wr's right? He is responsible for Snead. So if Mallett did bad it'd be Paul Petrino's fault, and BP's fault cuz he's known to coach QB's and call the plays.

[FATBACKHAWG]

Vandy won because Dexter McCluster fumbled the ball on Vandy's 3 yd. line (the go-ahead touchdown), a missed field goal, and 4 interceptions.

But that's Houston Nutt's fault, right?

It most certainly is....He didn't teach him the 3 points of pressure on the football!! 

btw idiot

[George S. Pigton]

The man was .500 in conf. play after 10 years.  The author of the article said he wasn't good enough to stay
at Arkansas and that is correct.  .500 in conf. wouldn't be good enough at any top 20 program in the country
but we are supposed to be okay with that.  Then you pile on all the crap with Gus and Mitch, texting and the
tv gal.  It was too much, but for me.  His record is what ultimately did him in.

Again, thank god for Mississippi!

[DeuceHawg]

ESPN does something like this every year.  It gets more attention to put some up and comer in the top of the rankings than it does to put USC and schools that are always there.  We have seen this before almost exactly in 2007 and 2008.  He will not be able to operate with the target on his back.  If he does however, we need to just be able to move on.  The important thing is that he is no longer our coach and we shouldn't really care what he does somewhere else.

Yep...And I'll bet if I tried I could find a connection between the dork and:

Global warming
Economy
The cost of gas and, maybe,
Nancy Pelosi

It's a train wreck in slow-motion and I can't wait to watch it.
