Mixed Nutts

Well folks, if the UA, which has come to stand for Under Achievers in athletics, ever decides to form a Horse Shoe Pitching team, sign Houston Nutt on as the coach. If I had a dollar for every time Nutt has used the phrase "we're this close", holding his thumb and index finger less than an inch apart in his 10 season reign of error, I might just be up there with him in the salary department.

Another of his favorite catchphrases is "nothing could be further from the truth". As in: "there's no dissension on the staff, nothing could be further from the truth". When he uses that one, watch his nose grow. If it's not broken from Frank turning a corner too quickly, that is.

Daddy leaving at the end of the year will be a major factor in what Nutt decides to do as far as beating the posse out of town, because if he isn't fired after this season, next year with no DMac, Hillis or Monk will be ugly.

Therefore it just makes sense for Nuttcase to leave on his own with some whiny spiel about how insatiable fans who expect to win every game ruined his "dream job". Love that helmet and all.
