Staff Pick’ems: UA vs. Nutt Ole Miss

Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Let’s not talk about how we dominated Kentucky for 3+ quarters last week. Or the fact that Michael Smith had nearly 200 yards rushing. No, let’s just talk about how we SOMEHOW lost that game in Lexington. The Kentucky fans were LEAVING the game, that’s how much we were in control. Then, showing what freshmen are capable of, we get penalty after penalty called on us. The coaches decided to THROW it and not run out the clock. And on top of that, Dick showed us why we can’t wait for him to get married and end his football career with us. Congrats to JTrain, the ONLY person who predicted a Kentucky win. Way to NOT be for the Hogs.

Seriously, losing to Kentucky 21-20 hurt. A lot. It’s one thing to play well on the road in the SEC. It’s another to dominate for most of the game. But you gotta finish that out. Our kids learned that the hard way, and I have a feeling that the next time we’re faced with such a situation, the outcome will be more in our favor. Young kids and rebuilding are hard to swallow sometimes. But so is a chip that’s turned the wrong way in your throat. My advice, just relax and the tortilla chip will go down eventually. Or… have someone punch your throat, as to break the chip in half. Either way.

Now what? Oh yeah, some lame-o is coming back to town. He f’ed around in Arkansas for 10 years, squandered some of the best talent to ever come through our program, NEVER made a BCS appearance and somehow got a super nice bonus for leaving. Then… he went to Ole Miss of all places. That’s fine. In a few years we’ll be the dominate team that’s favored to win most of our games and won’t be the constant underdog. There’s something about being able to rally your kids to win at Florida, nice job. But every week shouldn’t be a rally. Our new system will produce wins, his will foster great hopes that get dashed most of the time. As Steve Lee would say… ah, forget it.

JTrain says: Nutt brings the team out right as the Razorbacks run onto the field in order to avoid the largest booing to ever occur at Donald W. Reynolds stadium. It doesn’t work. The boos cover up the sound of F-18’s flying overheard which just so happen to be carrying banners reading “Booo!!! Hiss!!!” Razorbacks still lose.

Petrino tells Nutt this after the game: Nothing. He simply applies the patented Petrino pile-driver and walks away.

Ted Dancin’ says: Someone sneaks in and plays Steve Lee’s “Houston Nutt” song over the PA. This has no effect on the game. Arkansas just beats Ole Miss with points.

Dern L. says: I picked Ole Miss to win this game at the beginning of the year, and I am sticking to it. No one wants to win this game more than Nutt, and I think he will have his kids ready to take on the whole state of Arkansas. Not to mention, football games are still 4 quarters long, and Arkansas seems to only be able to sustain solid play for 3 quarters. Also, Smith looks like he won’t be 100%, and the other RBs just aren’t ready to really compete in the SEC yet.

sg says: hy would I even try to write something profound on there? No one reads it anyway. Besides, it’s just a game. Nothing I say will change the outcome. And no one likes the Rays or Phillies, unless you like in Tampa or Philly.

the Steve says: Casey Dick passes for 400 yards. Antwain Robinson knocks Snead out in the second quarter. Nutt urinates in his pants.

Farrah says: Houston Nutt runs out in front of the Rebels(as usual). IF and ONLY IF Ole Miss wins Houston Nutt not only rushes the field but also leads the Rebel Band in the fight song.

Petrino tells Nutt this after the game: “What’s Donna Bragg’s phone number?”

Squidge says: Arkansas almost wins, but Dick becomes so in tranced by Nutt’s pacing and head-bobbing anger that he throws the ball to an Ole Miss player. Oops! Ole Miss wins.
