Mixed Nutts

With a rather uninspiring win over what has to be one of the weakest Hog opponents in years, UTC was coming off a 25 point thumping by The Citadel, the Razorbacks head back into SEC play next week vs. Auburn. The same Auburn who throttled Vandy today 35-7. The same Auburn that beat Florida in Gainesville a week ago.

If the Tigers or War Eagles or whatever they are calling themselves this week, are not intimidated by the Swamp, do you really think RRS in Fayetteville will? I didn't think so.

Back to the Hogs. The offense passed for a pathetic 116 yards, with 257 rushing for less than 400 total yards vs a team that gave up 41 to The Citadel. You can feel sorry for the players or coaches if you want. I feel sorry for the fans who paid top dollar for tickets, drove from all corners of the state, fought the ridiculous traffic in the Rock, etc. to see that fiasco.

I know what the Nutt-Huggers will say. Before St. Houston came along, "we were losing games like this". That was then, this is now. While it is nice to be able to count on wins against the cupcakes like UTC and The Citadel, 10 seasons is more than enough to get some wins vs. SEC teams besides Ole Miss and Misstake.

Mr. Mediocrity, Houston D. Nutt will never be able to win consistently enough in the SEC to get to that elusive "next level", in my opinion. He has become so divisive as to be a distraction. It is time for him to move on at the end of the season. Past time, actually, but nothing we can do about that now. Broyles had to be out of the picture before Nutt could be sent packing.

I don't think he will be, I think Nutt will take another job ala Hatfield. The writing is on the wall, and it's getting clearer all the time. There were boos for the Hogs, even in Little Rock tonight following the 65 yard touchdown run for UTC.

Note to Reggie Herring: If you're going to be mouthing off about your defense or the schedule, you look like a fool when your unit plays like that.
