Mixed Nutts

Oh, boy. Whether it's the NCAA probation which Houston Nutt used as an excuse for about 5 years, or a banner flying over War Memorial Stadium, Nutt loves to be the martyr. In case you missed it, there was a banner from a plane flying over WMS last night reading: "Nuttin' like being 0-2 in the SEC", which the Hogs have been 5 times in Nutt's 10 year reign of error.

I don't condone that, however, if someone feels that strongly to spend $700, which is the reported cost of such a thing, so be it. If that what it takes for an out of touch AD and administration to wake up and smell the napalm....

And that's in Nutt's hometown, no less. The man is being booed in both Fayette Nam and The Rock. In a recent online poll done by KTHV Channel 11 in Little Rock, the question was: "Do the Razorbacks need to make a coaching change?", yes or no. The last I checked, the numbers were astounding. 2748 votes yes, 115 no. That's 95.9 pct. in favor of Nutt taking his soap opera act elsewhere.

In his inimitable, whiny way, Nutt got that fart-smelling look on his face when asked today and whined " They couldn't find that banner last year when we were 7-0 in the conference". Well, isn't that special? But Nuttcase didn't want to talk about '04 and '05 last year, did he?

Like any good con man or used car salesman (you mean they're not one and the same?) Nutt tells people what they think the listener wants to hear and constantly tries to have everything both ways. They also are good at figuring out what it is people want to hear, and far too many Razorback fans want to hear excuses about injuries or probations or bad calls after losses.

I know. This was not a loss, but as far as the pundits and pollsters are concerned, it may as well have been. Auburn has to be salivating at the prospect of facing the weak rush "D" they will see on film, giving up 160+ yards to Tennessee Chattanooga.
