Post-Game Report: Samford (seriously??)

by Whiskey Wednesday on Sep 14, 2008 2:07 AM EDT

A well distributed factoid around the Ole Miss camp this week was that the last time Samford played a BCS opponent, a mediocre Georgia Tech team with a soon-to-be unemployed coach hung 69 points on them. So we, being the good little sports god-fearing Ole Miss fans we are, optimistically hoped for a 50-spot on our side of the box score and a few passing attempts by Billy Tapp, as well as some kids from the Make-a-Wish Foundation getting late snaps at wide receiver (did I just make that joke? What is wrong with me?). Well, guess who scored the first touchdown of the game, to take a first quarter lead? That would be the Bulldogs of Samford. Guess who had to pass downfield to have a decent chance at a first down, because running up the middle garnered mixed results at best? That would be the Rebels of Ole Miss. What went wrong here? I've got an idea or three:

Jevan Snead: please tell me you got plastered and slept with four different sorority girls last night. Please? Honestly, the pass rush was in his face all night (and how embarrassing is that, Michael Oher and co.?), but Snead didn't do a great job of making checks at the line to adjust for blitzes. Hopefully, this was just a result of vanilla playcalling and lack of motivation. And seriously, Jevan, Lionel Breaux is STILL hung out to dry on that five-yard hook. Bring that shit down.

Running backs: Really? We have five backs on our team that would, in theory, start for Samford. None were impressive tonight. Eason hits the hole with all the tenacity and timing of a 16 year old in the back of his mom's borrowed minivan on prom night (last Dennis Miller-esque joke of the night, promise). Bolden appeared to be limited, and his primary vehicle, the Wild Rebel, was left in the garage. And as a note to all 5 backs: shoestring tackles need to be broken, folks. This is the SEC you're playing in.

Offensive line: as it stands, probably the most overrated unit in the SEC. 'Soft' would be a compliment, a goal to strive for, at this point. Almost 1600 pounds of bulk spread out amongst five men with over 100 starts between them in the SEC, and we can't beat down Samford's defensive line? Markuson isn't sleeping well right now, and neither is Michael Oher.

The offensive playcalling was extremely boring, and that shouldn't have mattered. Just execute. Execute against a team with less talent than the scout team that impersonated them all week.

Defense... Where do you start here? For most of the second half, Samford held a 5-minute advantage over UM in time of possession. Blame this on a defense that was unable to stay on assignment all night. Sure, we busted a few plays in the backfield, but where were the turnovers? There wasn't a play that seemed close to a Samford turnover. The desire to actually hit someone seemed a tertiary goal, at best. Houston Nutt can't be happy with Tyrone Nix, can he?

Special teams: glad to see Marshay take a punt to the house, and in impressive fashion. I still haven't decided if that makes up for the punt he should've taken back earlier. Let me set up this scenario for those who missed it: Green takes the punt, finds that his blockers have completely sealed off their slower, more Baptist counterparts, and the only thing between him and the endzone is a portly little fellow in white and a speedy blocker in blue. What happens? An awkward, three man collision, you say? Well, how did you guess? Seriously, folks, I'd have taken that punt back in my flip flops without losing my Aviators or getting my polo sweaty.

Enough with the detailed statistical analysis, though. What all this boils down to, scientifically, is that this game was a load of HORESESHIT! Defense, don't come waving your arms around trying to pump the fans up in the face of this all-male pillow fight. Entertain me. Hit someone so hard that they regret the day they first touched a football. And offense? This was supposed to be an All-You-Can-Score Buffet, and once again, I left hungry, and pissed off at my townie waiter. Did Nutt do this to the team on purpose, so he could yell at them all week in preparation for Vanderbilt? Did he take off all week to help his least-attractive daughter make a diorama of the solar system for school? Here I am, wracking my brain, thinking of ways NOT to score 40 against Samford, and I got nothin'.

On a brighter note:

Narrowly edging out rH0d3$+@r, a bow-tie-clad fratter named Vince gets the weekly 'Awesomest Drunk Guy in My General Vicinity' award. Thanks for your light-hearted yet caustic display of profanities; it made me want to gouge my eyes out a little bit less. Congrats, Vince, and thanks to all of those who played.

fUcK yOu oHiO sTaTe, and Fight On, USC. That is all. I'm really dying to see USC take on Florida or Mizzou in the BCS championship.

Dear MSU: I have to admit it. I don't trust you to lose games in the fashion to which we all became accustomed. You played a hell of a defensive game against Auburn, apparently, and I had to see the body to really believe you were dead. Still: HA HA HA... HA.

We won. Thats enough for me. We held them to under 200 yards total.. from what they said on the radio... albeit against a weaker team.. but still our best defensive showing of the year.

I guess in some ways it's nice to handily beat someone and then still be able to get pissed because we didn't score enough points.

Well played. However, I thought you law school types favored the khaki pants with a tshirt from some Northeastern school with a better law school than Ole Miss? At least, that's what I've gathered riding the shuttle.

Hey we needed this win BIG TIME after last week. Don't forget, Nutt's trying to shake off that losing streak from the O-face of years past. And IF we can beat Vandy, we just might have ourselves a team. Not to mention tying last years win total....thanks O-face.

by Anonymous on Sep 14, 2008 11:12 AM EDT reply actions

A few other observations:

-There still seems to be a "lack of fundamentals" holdover from last season. If we make our blocks, tighten up our routes, and hone in our coverages we wouldn't look so lost out there.

-Our players must have been concentrating on Vanderbilt and simply overlooked this game. We could have beaten them by 60, but instead we played with the tenacity of hungover lepers (while still winning).

-Jevan, stop overthrowing the ball. I hope he got that out of his system last night.

-That fella's knee isn't gonna be alright for a while. If you weren't at the game, you missed a guy tear at least 2 ligaments in his knee in a move that even a contortionist couldn't achieve. It's a good thing we have a HD Powe Tron to nauseatingly grimace at these kinds of things over and over.

-What in the fuck was with the refs just stopping play for a few minutes at seemingly random intervals? We weren't on TV, and all tings seemed to be running smoothly, but then the refs would set the ball and then just wait around with their thumbs in their asses looking all fancy 'n' shit before starting up the clock a few minutes later. That happened at least 6 or 7 times. Damn, that made this game even more boring.

-Vince certainly deserves the "best" drunk award, while this kid named David from Georgia earned himself the "worst" drunk prize. No, David, for the 6th time, I don't have any damn dip on me. The guy behind me doesn't have any dip on him. The guy next to him doesn't have any dip on him. And stop saying "War Eagle," you ass.

Not surprised we didn't run much wild rebel, especially after the first attempt was stopped for -4 yards. But if you think that this game isn't possibly indicative of a lack of professionalism and focus by the team, then I've got news for you. Bottom line is, there isn't a Samford player with enough talent to earn an Ole Miss scholarship. You've got to be able to go to work and dominate a team like that. I'm still predicting we beat Vandy, but I'm a lot less sure than I was after last weekend.

Actually, Whiskey, you're wrong. Their backup quarterback DID earn a scholarship for our team.

by Anonymous on Sep 14, 2008 6:16 PM EDT reply actions

We did dominate them.

198 yards of offense total.

We had over 400.

Sure it should have been more points. But isn't a little much to cite a lack of professionalism for coming out flat against a weaker opponent?

Bottom line. We didn't play as well as we could and still beat them handily. I'll take it.

You could have returned that punt in your flip flops? Too bad you're busy protektin peoplez ritesz through your legal studies.

I'm not in law school. I was planning on graduating with a business degree in May, but if you've got a better idea for my future, by all means, fire away. And who are you to hold me to standards of 'public service?' We live in a selfish society, and I'll do as I please. Get over it, princess.

I guess ideally, I'd find a profession where people will make excuses for my mediocre performances, like we're currently doing for the football team. I think we have a pretty decent team, could be really good, but don't make me apologize for wanting an ass-whipping this weekend. At the very least, we should have been able to run up the middle more effectively, and able to throw more touchdowns than interceptions.

You're an interesting case though, anon. Do you enjoy these articles, and simply wish to poke fun and discuss? It seems to me that you are genuinely offended and put off, in which case I'd encourage you to find another blog, as I am relatively unlikely to change my content to reflect your desire to fellate the Rebs after a poor effort.

Get use to hand off to the fullback (2 yards) hand off to the running back (no gain) pass to the fullback in the right flat (2 yards) PUNT thats HDN's offence. The most predictable offence in the BCS. Arkansas may not beat ole miss this due to the lazy recruting that has been done the last couple years but get use being the bottom feeders of the sec west you and miss state......FYI the staff plays pick up basketball games instead of recruting.....alway have... always will.

A few things:

-It's spelled "offense."

-You wanted a passing offense, you got one. Casey Dick is leading the conference in yards a game. You know who is second? Jevan Motherfucking "I'm coached by Houston Nutt" Snead. Eat that shit, dumbass.

-Your totally awesome passing offense, which you wanted sooooo bad averaged fewer points than ours did through two games despite playing lesser competition.

-This whole "well it's HDN's fault because of ReKrOoTiN" talk is the exact same babble Orgeron apologists were spewing a few years back. Congrats!

Nutt went 22 - 15 with a Backfield that had 2 First Round RBs and a descent OL. Ran off the OC of the year by demoting him after his offence won a SEC West Title.

If you come around "these parts" with your seventh grade education exposed, we will mock it.

Also, I think it is well established that we have an inseparable difference of opinion here. We think Nutt is the reason you won 3 West titles, recruited some Heisman calibre backs, beat #1 LSU last year, etc. You think he was the only thing keeping Arkansas from winning 10 straight national titles, and you also seem to blame him for everything from 9/11 to the continued existence of poverty in the third world.

Your opinions are loud, stale, and annoying. Go away, and don't come back until we play you in October.

by Whiskey Wednesday on Sep 16, 2008 6:46 PM EDT reply actions

Nutt didn't recruit any Heisman Clalibre backs. McFadden was going to be a hog despite NUTTJOB. Take a look at this past week in the NFL. McFadden, Jones, and Hillis have been showing out in the pros. Think on this one for a while. If NUTTboy is such a great coach, why couldn't we win with that backfield?? The answer, we couldn't have a balanced offense. There were 11 guys in the box and we couldn't throw the ball. Not because we don't have the talent to. Take a look at our passing stats this year. Our offensive line is still trying to understand BASIC pass blocking techniques.

Nutt is an ass-clown. He is currently working with O's recruits. Wait until he has to go out and recruit. Nutt is a QB killer. Snead will want to slit his wrists by the year's end. Take a look at Damian Williams at USC. Take a look at Cody Burns at Auburn. Take a look at all the talent that left or denied Arkansas all together because they know what you will all know VERY soon. NUTT SUCKS. Thank GOD he left. Mallett comes back home. We are getting 4 and 5 star recruits to commit. We will own you year, AFTER year, AFTER year.

You all can act like he is the second coming all you want. He's nothing but a high priced chearleader that applauds mediocrity.

Take a look at our passing stats this year.

-You run a pass heavy offense. Of course the stats are going to be high. Texas Tech always has high passing stats but they haven't produced an NFL ready quarterback in, oh, I dunno, EVER.

Take a look at Cody Burns at Auburn.

-His name is Kodi and, alright, let's take a look at him:
In two games he is 4 of 12 with one interception. His quarterback rating is 27.2. He was benched in favor of a slower, whiter Chris Todd who, by the way, still couldn't score on Mississippi State....... in a SPREAD OFFENSE! Kodi Burns fucking sucks. You fucking suck. You're an idiot for using him as your example.

by Red Solo Cup Admin on Sep 16, 2008 9:02 PM EDT reply actions

If NUTTboy is such a great coach, why couldn't we win with that backfield??

So, 18 victories in their final two seasons isn't winning? What did you want? A BCS title? An SEC title? That would be akin to Ole Miss fans bitching because we couldn't win a BCS title with Eli (17 victories in his final two seasons) as our quarterback.

You constantly keep saying "oh man, we're gonna WIN now with Petrino" but, get this, you were winning with Houston Nutt! You continue to deny it, but the numbers don't lie. 8 bowls in 10 years is nothing to scoff at. Only three schools in the conference went to more bowls over the last 10 years (UGA, UT, UF) and that's a damn fact. You could win with "NUTTboy." You did win with "NUTTboy."

This ain't the pussy-ass Southwest Conference. It seems you Arkie fools haven't let that sink in yet.

I also like how the moron who pulled the old "look at Damian Williams and Cody (sic) Burns" song and dance failed to mention Mitch Mustain....

Hmmm, I wonder why that may be? But, lemme guess, Mitch Mustain being 3rd string at USC is Nutt's fault, right? Ah, ok, now I'm getting the hang of it.

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Sep 16, 2008 9:28 PM EDT reply actions

First, I should have noticed the errors corrected in the posts above mine before misspelling Kodi Burns' name. My bad. Actually, Kodi is injured and I believe this has played a role in this year's ineffectiveness. I believe he will show to be a fine quarterback for Auburn. Truth is, whether it is he, or Mustain, or Casey Dick, it wouldn't have mattered. Nutt is a QB killer. I didn't intentionally leave Mitch out. I would include him in that conversation. I'm certain he would be our starter right now if Nutt hadn't run him off. I think it is now fact to the other 49 states that a backup at USC has a better chance than a starter for Houston Nutt. You see, the NFL isn't as excited about handeroffers. My wife and I came to Oxford to the game last year and I had "Nutt, you're fired" written on my back window. After we kicked your ass, I inserted a /\, to say "Nutt, you're still fired". Every Ole Miss fan in the parking lot were all saying the same things. "At least Nutt's not our coach". Nine months later, you'd think Bear Bryant was your coach. You people will love Nutt. He will go .500 including the cupcake games and that is .400 better than you are accustomed to. Then he will start sleeping with and texting your wives and you'll know what we know. He's a loser and looks like he'll fit in just fine in Oxford. By the way. Petrino and his bare cupboard will wax your ass. We've always needed to move on from the SWC days and Texass. Now we have a true SEC rival. I have been saying that I felt sorry for Ole Miss because I have good friends who are alumni and all. No more. You bitches deserve it.

Now you're openly admitting to hating/antagonizing us just so you can be considered a "rival." If you'll refer back to my ranking of the SEC fanbases, you'll see that I made my thoughts on this quite clear.

You come over here and talk shit because you Razorbacks want so very, very badly for somebody to give a shit about you. Even in the SWC, you claimed Texas was your big rival. Sadly, in their minds, you were third fiddle behind OU and aTm. Once you get into the SEC, you made some bullshit "boot" trophy to call LSU your rival when, really, you're 2nd or 3rd fiddle to them as well. Nobody. Fucking. Cares. About. Arkansas. I imagine it sucks being in a conference full of teams that oftentimes forget you're actually in the conference.

It's like a buddy of mine from Alabama said: "there's nothing 'South' or 'East' about Fayetteville."

Funny that your handle has a VU player in the name. Don't get it. You think you know about the SWC? You don't have a clue. You think people don't give a bleep about Arkansas? People haven't cared about ole piss. I visited your stadium last year. I pass by 3 high school stadiums in Nashville on my way to work every day that are nicer than that dump your team plays in. The only reason people even talk about ole miss is the grove. On the grove, aren't there supposed to be pretty girls at ole miss? They must have been hung over the entire weekend we were there. I saw nothing but fat girls in skinny dresses. Wanted to puke. If that stadium holds 40k, there were 22k Arkansas fans. Your school sucks. Your program sucks and its going to get worse believe it or not. Your fan base is nothing but a bunch of people who only care what they look like on game days and need to cut their hair. Your fan base is just smarter than Vanderbilt's when it comes to the game of football. You are about to be DUPED. Houston Nutt is a loser. I can't wait to come back to this website after Bobby Johnson and the Dores come into your ghetto and beat the crap out of the rebs. In three years you will be going to websites of the school that nuttso snakes off to and pull the same thing Arkansas fans are doing. You see, your fan base keeps saying he is a God and Arkansas never should have won anything anyway. Well, with the talent you have on campus, you should beat Vandy by 40 and go .900 in the league. That winning percentage will go down every year back to what you clowns have been used to.

Allow me to try to explain the perspective of Hog fans, of which I am one.

Imagine you are married for 10 years and although things started out great, they are not good after 10 years. She is cheating on you, draining the bank account, and recently she has been trying to turn the kids against you.

After a long wait, you get the divorce finalized and although it cost you financially to get rid of her, you are glad to see her packing. You help her load her stuff in the car and you say "goodbye" only to see her drive across the street and start moving in.

Could you resist the temptation to tell your neighbor "this is how it goes?"

I wish Arkansas fans didn't go to Mississippi message boards, but I certainly understand the temptation. I don't think it would be going on if Nutt were coaching at Baylor or SMU (both of which were rumored destinations for him.)

You Arkansas fans really are good at convincing yourselves of things which aren't necessarily true. Nobody is saying HDN is "God" and nobody has said "Arkansas should never have won." Find where someone has said that. Seriously.
Furthermore, you Arkie fans keep talking about the talent we've got at Ole Miss. This is some grand myth you've all convinced yourselves to be true in order to further justify your hatred of Coach Nutt. Yes, O brought in highly rated recruiting classes, but many of them weren't ranked much higher than Nutt's at Arkansas (for example, our 2007 recruiting class was #27, yours was #31; our 2005 recruiting class was ranked #30, yours was #24 etc etc) and a lot of those players were grade risks who never made their way into the classroom!

And whatever. Keep saying things about Ole Miss girls being ugly, Oxford being a ghetto, and our stadium only holding only 40K. None of those things are true but, if you wanna believe them, go ahead. Just remember, believing bullshit makes you look like an idiot.

You know, I've been thinking about an old saying someone once told me. It goes something like this: "Don't waste your time teaching a pig to sing; the pig won't learn and it only gets annoyed." For people, you're sure a lot like farm animals.

@ razorsedge,

I get the analogy. Trust me, I've heard it before. Let's continue its use. Let's say you do tell your neighbor "this is how it goes." Would it then be shocking for him to then say "I don't fucking care what you think, now get off of my property?"

Now we've got our respective perspectives out there using easy-to-understand analogies. Isn't that great?

You are already learning the NUTT way. You see, you are already making excuses for future losses. All I have heard for 4 years is how incredible the talent on OM campus is. Not what your recruiting rakings are, what is there. Isn't that the reason you let O go? Well, if you think Nutt is a better coach, then you believe your own bullshit. We'll see who the idiots are. Recruiting rankings don't matter only when you can't get a high one. USC fans will tell you recruiting rankings mean something. Nutt will tell you "it's not about stars, it's about heart. These guys will fly around. These guys love the helmet." Whatever. The neighbor doesn't care the lady's a whore because she's screwing him. Wait until it's his neighbor. You guys will learn and I'm going to enjoy watching it. The gameday stunts he pulls will look similar to Wake Forest week after week after week.

You guys have twice the talent we have on the sidelines. Problem is, the guy wearing the headset doesn't have anything between the ears. We will beat you this year and every year he is on your sidelines. Keep believe the bull idiot.

I believe your comments were directed to VandyBobby, who appears to be a Vanderbilt fan instead of a Hog fan.

As to your comments about our analogies, no I wouldn't be offended if I was told to leave the premises. I would sit across the street and enjoy the show. Then again, prior to my post above, I have never posted anything on a Mississippi site and I don't consider my comments here to be of the "I told you so" variety.

The same thing happened when Nutt left Boise State to come to Arkansas. He was called a used car salesman by his former players and we scoffed at the notion. I understand exactly where you are coming from, isn't that great?

Out of curiosity, how do you guys feel about Auburn's coach? I'm sure you guys host an annual party honoring Tommy Tuberville, right? He won 55% of his games at Oxford and used that as a springboard to an undefeated (People's National Championship) season at Auburn. I'm sure everyone in Mississippi was pulling for him every Saturday except one.

Man, this is better than watching rasslin on TV.

Hey, we tried to warn you about the used car salesman. Once again, Arkansas can say "Thank God for Mississippi!" You will continue to have "special wins" in this "two-chinstrap league" with players "bouncing all over the place" with such "heart" and "precious" players.

@ RazorsEdge,

You're reasonably sensible, so I'm going to respond to you. The other posters actually believe Eddie O is a better coach than HDN thus completely ruining their credibility.

As far as the Tommy Tuberville comparison is concerned, you're leaving out one crucial point: we wanted him to stay. He even promised us that he wouldn't leave Oxford unless it was "in a pine box"** and then he left anyway. In hindsight, I understand why he did (the administration wasn't willing to work with him as well as Auburn's) so I don't really hold it against him. Does it sting a little, you bet. The Nutt situation is different in that you Hawgs wanted him gone. Now Nutt is gone yet you still bitch and moan about it.

**to you thick skulled oinkers out there posing under "anonymous," that means that he claimed he would coach Ole Miss until he was dead

You old miss folks are clueless. Nutt couldn't win at arkansas, and arkansas is head and shoulders above old miss. You guys haven't won a damn thing since integration! But maybe every 3 or 4 seasons houston can beat croom, and you guys can be 5th in the west. All of you defending nutt is just icing on the cake.

I'm from Arkansas. I've never been on this site. I realize you want us to leave. But before I go I just want to say that I find the comments of "Ghost of Jay Cutler" and "Whiskey Wednesday" to be some of the most insightful, clever and humourous postings I've seen on any team's website. Great work - keep it up. This makes college football great...

You obvious do not know a Houton Nutt coached team. When the SEC games roll around, the teams WILL be ready to fight & claw their way to victory. Hey, we are 2 - 1 and will be 3 -1 after Saturday. Be Happy.

I thank you.

Bigdeal-

You haven't learned a thing at hogville have you? 3-1 huh? Nutt sux. When he goes over to Baylor next year after getting fired at old piss, you gonna become a baylor fan? I'm beginning to think you are a Nutt yourself. Maybe Theresa Pruitt. Give it up man. Every saturday this fall you can watch Nutts handywork on 2 programs. He left us with nothing and is doing less with more at old piss. What an idiot. Long live the Murray State Mafia!!
