Mixed Nutts

Reggie "Red" Herring made an ass of himself with his little tirade responding to queries about the Hogs' pillow-soft schedule. Knowledgable fans realize that the coaches do not have much input in the games their teams' play, which is more than the players have. None.

That does not change the fact that this in one of the easiest slates in the country, at least for D1A schools. It is one of the easiest ever played by the Hogs, without a doubt. With a sweep of Trojan State, the North Texas Green Weenies, and the Florida School for the Blind or whoever the third tomato can is, the Hogs can just about claim the Sun Belt title.

Problem is, this program should be above that. If we're going to play everybody else in that conference, why not Arkansas State? Might as well. At least it would hold the fans interest.

As for Herring's red herring, he went on to complain about NTSU's offense not prepping the Hogs for the SEC. You can't have it both ways Reggeroo. Don't bitch about people's perception of the sked and then whine about it being too easy on the other hand. That's what happens when you play creampuffs and directional schools.We are the only SEC school not playing at least one BCS conference team in the non-conference.

Spread offenses, the wishbone or some such offense is all that gives them any sort of sporting chance. I couldn't help but think part of it was a shot at "Mala-zahn", or "High School" as Reggie called Gus. It is what it is as coaches say, and we can't very well tell opponents what offense to run to prepare us for tougher competition, can we?
