Mixed Nutts

Let The Spin Begin!

With a 3 game winning streak going, never mind that 2 of the games were against Possum Grape U. and FIHOC (Fla. Int. House Of Cupcakes) and an SEC team coming in with a 2 game skid, the Hootinistas are furiously spinning. "This team still could win as many games as last year" they say.

I'm only going to say this once. Not gonna happen. Hootie's SEC record of 40-37 is mediocre, at best. When you consider that he is 22-7 against the Mississippi schools and South Carolina and 18-30 against everyone else in the league, his record falls short even of mediocrity.

Of course the spinners are already squirrelling away their excuses with the Kevin Woods injury and the absence of his backup Walner Leandre who has a funeral of a family member to attend. You mean he can't reschedule the funeral like Hootie asked Wes Murphy to do last year or the year before, forget which?

Hootie preaches all the "no 'i' in team" crap like so many other coaches, but he himself is not a team player. Hootie first. Ask not what Hootie can do for you, ask what you can do for Hootie is his philosophy. Were the Springdale kids treated like "family"? Were they treated like valuable team members? How about Gus "Mal-azahn"?

Hootie never even bothered to pronounce the man's name right. Last season when rumors surfaced of dissension on the team and staff, Hootie said "nothing could be further from the truth". Which is what Hootie often says when he's getting ready to tell a whopper.

In Colton's, Lone Star and some other restaurants, patrons are encouraged to eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor. It's past time on the Hill to sweep out the "Nutts".
