Around SBN: The Pros and Cons of an 18-game NFL Schedule

Rebel Roundup - 10/21/09

Philosophical Questions: Ole Miss Edition | ArkansasExpats.com
Get 'em while they're stale!  Houston Nutt jokes!  Houuuuuuuuuuuuuston Nutt jokes!  Right here!  Get 'cha jokes, old, unoriginal and stale!  Houston Nutt jokes!  Amongst their "philosophical questions" is (paraphrased) "will any wood be brought to this game, and by whom?"   I find it a bit odd that Arkansas fans would make fun of something uttered by their greatest offensive player ever upon one of their programs greatest victories ever, but whatever.  I'll let them have their fun.  HOUUUUUUUUUUSTON NUTT JOKES!

Midseason Review: Ole Miss | ESPN
Chris Low says Ole Miss is a disappointment.  Well, sorta.  I see Snead as being the major disappointment, with the team suffering as a result.  I will say though, our losses came against the teams we Rebels were most certain we would lose to in the first place, so sitting at 4-2 right now isn't terribly surprising or disappointing.  How we do over the next two weeks will really determine the disappointment factor.

McCluster Flustered? | Brandt?
Are defenses keying in on Dex, or have our coaches tried a bit too hard to get the ball to other players.  It's likely a little of both, and Brandt writes about the subsequent drop in production from da Lil' Bastit.

Ole Miss' Houston Nutt: Arkansas Emotions Cool Now | CommercialAppeal.com
Knowing Houston Nutt's style, I doubt "cool," "emotions," and "Arkansas" can truly all be together in a sentence about Count Giggity--especially if that sentence doesn't contain the phrases "aren't at all" or "nowhere close to."

Turnabout's fair play, no?

The writers who make up the Cup are genuine connoiseurs of Bobby Petrino jokes (well, a single BP joke). Why can’t the guys at Expats have their fun with someone who was actually our former coach?
Besides, Darren McFadden didn’t start the “bring the wood” thing. Houston Nutt used that as his motif for his pre-game speech at LSU, complete with every player receiving a miniature baseball with the phrase “bring the wood” on it. Why he chose baseball bats for a football team, I’ll never know. We were all too happy with the win to question Nutt mixing his metaphors.

They picked on us for it, we picked on them for it.

There’s an amicable relationship there that during HATE WEEK may become a bit strained, but hardly broken. We’re fine with it so long as they are.

Also, I didn’t know the whole “bring dat wood” story. I will say, I did laugh out loud at DMac shouting it into the microphone for no apparent reazon.

Ah, I see what you did there.

I certainly don’t speak for the rest of the fanbase, but DMac shouting “got that wood” over and over after that when wasn’t necessarily a motivational moment. He and HDN happened to be “hugging” at the time, and with DMac making it very clear that he “had wood”, I swear, I thought Ole Hooty was going to kiss him.

dxf04, thanks for having our back.

Thanks to years of anger management therapy and various over- and under-the counter medications, we’re able to take snarky comments like this in good stride.

We’ll continue to assert that our joke was funnier, though. And Hate Week continues…

Look!! They make Ole Miss Snuggies. Now you can, Getch’u 1!!

So you could say...

Diana Nutt was the one who started the phrase.

That's the

story I heard from an Arky fan. Kind of strange to me to celebrate the beating of a person.

by BrianWalker'sElbow on Oct 21, 2009 7:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

I deleted that comment that made accusations about Diana Nutt.

We’re not very serious around here, but it was propagating an unsubstantiated rumor about her that I thought went too far.

It was actually a rumor I've hard before

and it’s not like Ole Miss fans don’t spread unfounded rumors, as well. We have, however, been in the practice around here of not propagating rumors about coaches’ families of any school

Observation

I’ve been reading both Arkansas Expats and Red Cup Rebellion for some time now and it seems that the RCR blog drops far more insults against the other than Ark Expats does. If that observation is off, then Red Cup Rebillion’s attacks are definitely sharper and more pointed than the friendly folks from Arkansas. So I think your assessment of our “obsession” with Ole Miss is way off…at least in the blogosphere.

I thought the same thing when I first started here. These guys, on the surface, are assholes. But, they’re also consistent, as they talk shit about anyone. It’s just their style, it’s all in good fun, and at the end of the day, they seem like good guys.

Listen to our podcast from last night.

JohnExpat from Arkansas Expats comes on and chats with us for about 15 minutes about the game and the differences in our blogs. He basically says his is an attempt to create internet refuge from all of the craziness that surrounds SEC football, whereas we openly admit for our site being operated more for entertainment value than anything else.

On the main page, there’s a disclaimer on the bottom left-hand side. Read it. It basically says what I just wrote in that we’re doing this to entertain. We don’t legitimately hate any Arkansas blogs or bloggers.

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Oct 22, 2009 7:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

I also think one of the reasons for this is that

Ole Miss fans haven’t been frequenting Arkansas Expats for the past two years, attacking their coach unmercilessly, and just raining on their parade in general.

On the flip side, ever since we hired Houston Nutt, we have experienced unyielding criticism as a “warning” about how badly we were going to suck in two years.

I can tell you this… until two years ago, I had no problem whatsoever with Arkansas or its fans. Then came Gonzo and 20 other ridiculous woopiggers and hogvillians. Now you’re way… way up on my list of hate.
