It Never Ceases To Amaze

A couple of wins over cupcakes combined with a win over Ole Miss, a team that may go winless in the SEC, and South Carolina have Hootie back in the good graces with a lot of fans. Sickening. SC now has a 3 game losing streak, by the way and has had trouble stopping the run all season.

Even if the Hogs win out, which I doubt and only the Rick Schaeffer's of the world think will happen, Hootie needs to go! He has had his chance for 10 years to build a top shelf program and has settled for mediocrity.

The last 2 SEC games bring on a few questions: where was this team in September? Why do Nutt's UA teams have to lose 2, 3 or 4 games before the man makes any adjustments?

If you're going to win championships in college football, you can't write off the month of September, or any month for that matter. Hootie has all the vision of Mr. Magoo. Why does he never get players in the right positions, etc until after a few losses? There are 4 former Hogs in the NFL playing different positions than they played at UA.

The Nutt spin is always "we're this close" or "ain't no stopping us now" after we've lost a few games. In today's papers Hootie tries to hog credit by saying he and his crony David Lee "challenged" DMac and Felix this past week. Like that's the reason they performed so well. Why didn't the coaching staff "challenge" them before 3 losses?
