Rebel Roundup - 7/27 (Slow News Day)

Ole Miss Week
Over at TeamSpeedKills.  All week.  Seriously, check it out for coverage that is as objective as SEC coverage can be.

Darth Brandt's Countdown is Over
Thanks a lot, idea snatcher.  Oh really, Jevan Snead is the most crucial person to the Rebels' success this upcoming football season?  Way to go out on a limb there.

Wild Turkey
No, not this Wild Turkey, unfortunately.  The above linkage deals with the continued spread of the Wild[NOUN] formation and Virginia Tech's potential use of it this fall.  Why is this of note, you may ask?  Well, while most teams use the most elusive, laterally-mobile athlete in the formation, the Hokies plan on using--I shit you not--a 6'3" 280lb tight end.  This could be very, very fun. (HT: Swindle)

BS!!!1  Ole PI$$ Hooten DALE MORON!!1
</Hogville> You've gotta admit that, for all of his shortcomings, Houston Nutt is a real players coach.  At Arkansas, just as today at Ole Miss, he could motivate his players to run through a damned brick wall if need be.  Current Razorback stars DJ Williams and Malcolm Sheppard even had this to say when asked which SEC coach besides their own they would most like to play for:

That was an easy question for Arkansas tight end D.J. Williams and defensive tackle Malcolm Sheppard. Both said Ole Miss' Houston Nutt.

"I speak to him from time to time and people on the staff," Sheppard said Thursday. "One thing about Coach Houston Nutt: when he recruits you, he's not just recruiting you to play ball for him. He's recruiting you because he likes you as a person. He's a great man."

SHUN THE NONBELIEVER!
Steve Spurrier explains his vote "against" Tim Tebow in the coaches' All-SEC poll.  I have mixed feelings on this.  While I don't think it really matters that much in that it's not like it's going to cause Tebow to play with less heart and effort, I do find it a bit odd that coaches are oftentimes not the ones filling out their ballots.  This is especially bothersome when considering the substantial weight placed on polls with regards to bowl seedings and BCS standings.  As for this individual incident, I find the whole ado surrounding it to be a tempest in a teapot.  I mean, is it reallythat big of a deal that Tebow wasn't a unanimous first pick in a preseason All-SEC poll?  People acted as if this was some sort of blasphemy, making sure to unleash an inquisition on every coach at SEC Media Days.  Are we really that bored with our Summers/enamored with a 20-something-year-old man-rhino who doesn't use his penis?

You should do your own countdown.

But any countdown that doesn’t have Z Mason #1 is a farce!

regarding voting...

this is something i’ve always thought was silly too

bittle me this…

if you are a head coach of div 1 top 25 football program, your obligations and responsibilities are endless…from the actual “football” related tasks such as watching tape, running practice, playbook, etc. to mildly football related tasks (recruiting, conferences, PR spots)…..do you really think these men have time every saturday to watch EVERY OTHER TEAM PLAY and then sit down for a spell and rank said teams? theres no way in hell

i have heard, and would imagine, that most ranking voting gets assigned to some asst coach gopher and (god forbid), coaches’ personal assts/knob slobbers/interns….do you think urban meyer and his coaching staff had a slumber party saturday night after we beat them in the wee hours of his eastern time zone in order to watch oregon state play so they could be sure to rank them correctly against teams such as BYU, Mizzou, or Cincy? all he has to do is tell some slack jawed monkey to put his gators #1 and then watch sportscenter the next morning and generally follow the crowd (and then go home and cry into his pillow after replaying in his mind what greg hardy did to his son from another bun tebow)

regarding the All SEC team….granted i know that not everyone here is as big a Colin Cowherd fan as i am, but i listen to his show almost every day for almost the complete 4 hours…i think it was on thursday that he brought up the whole controversy and went on to talk about ole miss/snead….he didnt see what all the hoopla was either….not that i completely agree, but he brought up the point that considering its an ALL SEC team, you could just look at it head 2 head…..on the day ole miss upset FL, snead flat out outplayed tebow….tebow had 2 fumbles, interception, and got sacked numerous times from just staying in the pocket too long….snead made plays when it mattered

does this make snead better than tebow like it made appy state better than michigan? well of course not, but it doesnt rule out that snead (if you choose to look at it that way, head 2 head regarding an all conference voting) could beat out tebow

i herd u liek mudkipz?

Do you really believe....

That this was done by accident? This is the same coach who, until recently, voted Duke as #1 every year in the pre-season.

Preseason voting...

is complete bullshit to begin with. This Tebow non-vote hunt was just fucking ludicrous to begin with not only because a vote for Jevan Snead is completely understandable, but also because Christ’s first child not getting all 11 votes wasn’t the biggest crime committed.

That one probably goes to DJ Williams, who was shafted down to the 2nd team behind Richard Dickson of LSU.

How did that happen, you ask?
No fucking clue.

2008 Statistics.
Dickson – 31 rec, 324 yds, 5 TD (‘08 2nd team All-SEC)
Williams – 58 rec, 699 yds, 3 TD (’08 1st team All-SEC)

Dickson didn’t touch DJ’s numbers. And DJ had a quarterback that was, at best, performing at the level to be expected of a 2nd string Mississippi Valley Tech College A&M State Delta Devil quarterback.

With two quarterbacks now, that are individually ten times the quarterback Casey Dick was, if not 18 times, Dickson won’t touch Williams numbers again.

And per the comment on Williams and Sheppard saying Nutt was the other coach they’d play for…. OF COURSE IT IS. HE RECRUITED THEM. You can go to Hogville and get some e-vitriolic 13-year-old’s diarrheal blather on that, or you can use some god damn common sense and expect that.

Otherwise, I’m diseased and in poor health — but mostly a little drunk — in dire need of some football again.

And I’m really disappointed I did not get the smoochy invite on the post with the new link at the old place. That burned like the second time I got gonorrhea.

I agree.

DJ Williams getting shafted was a travesty.

I’m glad you didn’t suggest some sort of conspiracy in which Houston Nutt fans paid Williams and Sheppard to say that. I guess that kind of thought stays at hogville.

We'll be sure to invite you to our birthday parties and such.

We shant miss out on such an opportunity.

Oh, and to address the Dickson over Williams for first team All-SEC issue, let me remind you that Dickson plays for the LSU Tigers. He, like his quarterback, head coach, and team is likely to be overrated by the media.
