Crap, I owe my brother a couple of bucks. :) He had it head on. I wonder if anyone in Mississippi wants to ask Nutt about his texting married reporters....

Yeah, it'll be three in and three out for him too. They'll get bored when he can't win them the BCS championship next year.

In some ways, I'm surprised and not surprised by this move. I personally thought he was going to Baylor or somewhere else outside the SEC.

I have a feeling this one's here for a while, Ironghost. After putting up with the big Zero for three years, we're ready. Sometimes you feel like a Nutt, sometimes you don't (but Ole Miss definately feels like a Nutt right now). He's our Nutty Buddy, bring him on!

Of course, Ole Miss has been stealing Arkansas' best basketball players for years! Especially under Rob Evans in the 90's, who coincidently is an asst. coach for Arkansas Men's Basketball Program.

Still do love him, Iron. Never agreed with firing Cut, and a lot of other fans felt the same way. Folks got mad about Boone's quick trigger finger, I think that's the only reason the big 0 lasted this long.
