Mixed Nutts

It's Friday and the night in the fall normally reserved for the High Schoolers. (So why isn't Houston Nutt coaching tonight?) Anyway, Tulsa is hosting OU on the deuce, hanging with them fairly well, although the Sooners' superior athletes and massive size difference is starting to tell from the middle of the 2nd quarter on.

Gus Malzahn's offense looks pretty good, but can't run a lick. You know, the problem I had with his tenure at UA was not the fact that we didn't run his offense. You don't throw, throw and throw some more with that #5 back there. No, my objection to the whole mess was the lies that were told to get Gus and 4 of the Springdale 5 on board. Lies and deception.

Every time rumors would surface about dissension on the staff, Nuttcase would trot out his favorite cliche "nuthin' could be further from the truth". When he says that, keep both hands on your wallet and check for missing silverware, 'cause that's one of the surefire ways to tell when HDN's lying.

When John White appointed Nuttsack to investigate himself over that email that White said made him want to take a shower, let's just say the Three Stooges of the UA administration should have been fired. Houston has told at least 2 different stories on that deal, claiming in one that it had been handled before White stepped in. In the other version he had the gall to say he didn't know about the email even though he had talked to "Mother" Teresa Prewitt many times in the interim and his wife Diana had forwarded the email to many people , including most of the other coaches' wives.

Nutt should have nipped other coaches calling Gus "High School" in the bud, but did nothing. I know this is all old news, but when you can tell someone is lying whenever their lips are moving, any respect I ever had for the man was destroyed. It's kind of ironic, Nutt and his cronies calling a coach "High School". That, or something similar is how our staff is regarded by most opposing coaches.

It has been said that "victory has many Fathers, while defeat is an orphan". Houston Nutt has always been at the head of the line, claiming credit for wins while pointing the finger at players or alibiing about injuries in defeat. The probation of a few years ago was used as an excuse for what, 7 years?
