Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Rebel Roundup - 08/04/10

OMG Rick Cleveland Actually Understands Something Before Some Other People Do | ClarionLedger.com

Wouldn't the backlash of the media and fans be worse if we DIDN'T take Masoli and went 5-7? I still don't understand how people are so pissed about this. Sure, the guy has a somewhat checkered past, but he has committed no violent crimes. For those of you who are still stuck on the "but we kicked Patterson off the team" meme, let me spell this out for you. Pat Patterson smokes cigarettes. Because of that he has conditioning problems. He has problems committing to work and was an issue for the team. That's totally different than Masoli, who has been described as a good teammate. We don't know much more than that other than the fact that Patterson was given at least three chances (having been suspended twice and ultimately kicked off).

Ex-Gator and Sort of Ex-Rebel Jamar Hornsby Pleads Guilty to Assault | SportsIllustrated.com

Jamar, or as I liked to call him "Oh JAM-ar", Horsby plead guilty to the whole brass knuckles thing. Does this mean we can have him back after he serves for six months? I mean, he was already suspended for a year...

A Few Legitimate Questions for Dave Rader | NEMS360.com

This appeared to be the same played-out article when I looked at the title. Upon diving a little deeper, I remembered that Parrish Alford isn't a lazy journalist. He gets answers to questions about Randall Mackey's role and the general approach to how quarterback abilities are incorporated. Among the two things i liked the most in the brief article are:

One question facing the offensive staff is how much receiver Mackey will play?

"Boy, we’ve gone round and round with that one," says Dave Rader, beginning his first season as co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. "We see the very real possibility of him lining up at more than one position."

How many might that be?

"Oh, I don’t know, but its safe to say more than one."

and...

"Over the years our playbook has been quite comprehensive, and coach Nutt has adapted to many varying styles of the quarterbacks he’s had," Rader said. "Whoever is our quarterback, the playbook will for sure bring out their abilities and talents."


Is that the zone-read option I hear faintly in the background? Yeah.... Jeremiah Masoli isn't too bad at that.

I love how you guys are trying to paint this little lovefest of yours. Very cute.

Nice shot of carnival rides ’n shit. People actually have a good time doing this kind of stuff? Who would a thunk it? People smiling?
Oh lord, how could we have judged him so harshly?

It’s been long enough, just go.

Yeah, I read it.

Mandel also fucking roasted Arkansas for hiring Bobby Petrino. Was he y’all’s little BFF back then too?

You fuckers are desparate for people to be on your side right now. Three years later, and you, the Arkansas Razorback faithful, have enough egg on your face to make a fucking GonzoHog omlette.

What difference does 1/2 a year make

It still makes the fringe of Razorback fans such as yourself look patently obsessed and insane. I can understand being pissed for a year maybe two, but beyond that is unhealthy to say the least.

by Jalakin on Aug 5, 2010 10:56 AM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not pissed, really,

just realistic when it comes to coaches, football, decision making, etc…

You are my absolute favorite...

In 2010, calling people “retards” just two words after misspelling “piece,” Gonzo you are the bomb.com.

by the ghost of traditions past on Aug 4, 2010 2:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, it's a lot like some of the retards on this blog do.

Blasting someone for typing grammatical errors, while doing so in many of their own post.

The difference between me and some of you self-titled geniuses who post here, is that I never put pressure on myself to be perfect with spelling by posting with a dictionary in hand.
In other words, like some of you like to post on my opinions, I DON"T GIVE A FUCK!

Christopher Martin Gonzalez

by GonzoHog on Aug 5, 2010 10:57 AM EDT up reply actions  

You shouldn't need a dictionary to spell.

Unless you never learned how to spell pieces in the first place. Plus unless it has escaped your notice there is this newfangled invention called “spell check” that can prevent these little errors. But I can understand if that is too much technology for you to comprehend.

Seriously man...

If you ever get a chance to use a rusty needle, you should take it.

Blah blah blah…. Same ole Gonzo. Hey did it ever occur to hog fans that we just don’t give a shit what they think?

by Newport Rebel on Aug 4, 2010 12:51 PM EDT reply actions  

They

can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t think their opinion was not taken as the gospel. Gonzo should have been a tide or mistake fan. He would fit right in. They all have choir boys on their football teams.

by GeorgiaReb on Aug 4, 2010 2:16 PM EDT reply actions  

We used to have a "choir boy" on our football team named Houston Nutt.

We upgraded our quality of football food in the church and sent our leftovers to Ole Miss. The leftovers are becoming stale now, (year 3) and won’t be eatable for much longer.

How's that

worked out for you the last two years?

by GeorgiaReb on Aug 5, 2010 10:55 AM EDT up reply actions  

Mother fucking “eatable” you guys. Mother. Fucking. Eatable.

by 7thYearJunior on Aug 5, 2010 8:54 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   1 recs

Pretty much according to plan.

Like I said, this is year 3. Nutt and Petrino both have their own players now.
Some people are smart enough to see those facts, some aren’t.

Christopher Martin Gonzalez

by GonzoHog on Aug 5, 2010 10:59 AM EDT reply actions  

So what do we get if Nutt has a successful season?

Do we get you admitting that Arkansas was the common factor in his recruiting woes? Or admitting that Nutt is actually a good coach? And as this is characterized as a rebuilding year for Ole Miss I think that anything over 6 wins is a success, with all the offensive experience and production we lost from last year. What say you Gonzo?

by Jalakin on Aug 5, 2010 11:07 AM EDT up reply actions  

They also have some players from the previous administration.

You know, like your ENTIRE starting OL and how it’s made up of guys Nutt recruited…

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Aug 5, 2010 11:23 AM EDT up reply actions  

Funny you mention this.

Are you talking about the same O-line Nutt and Markuson never got to coach up?

Christopher Martin Gonzalez

by GonzoHog on Aug 5, 2010 11:27 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, that's it.

Nutt’s never had good offensive lines…

First you say “well look who has whose players,” then you say “well look at who is doing the coaching.”

You’re not even subtle about tailoring your argument to fit a point you’re trying to make.

by The Ghost of Jay Cutler on Aug 5, 2010 11:53 AM EDT up reply actions  

He's looking

in the dictionary for a response.

by GeorgiaReb on Aug 5, 2010 11:21 AM EDT reply actions  

I'm not sure how to answer that question, Jalakin.

Nutt isn’t capable of developing a consistant offensive passing attack, (QBs and WRs)
There’s a reason he can’t keep those guys.
The reason I bring this up is because he will be exposed there once again, which is the only reason we are even discussing a guy like Masoli.
Do you honestly believe this would be happening if Nutt hadn’t put himself in yet another desperate situation with QBs?
Look, this is clearly what some of you just don’t get. From here on out, life with Nutt will become more and more like a giant rollar coster ride. This is just the beginning.
The only reason you like him now is because he does great coaching someone elses players for a couple of seasons, right before his own redicules system takes hold for the grand finale.

I think you can classify almost any coaches tenure as a rollercoaster ride.

Most of the the coaches in the SEC besides Saban, Meyer, and Richt have not been overall consistent to a high level of success. This is just how football is, sometimes you have the players and experience for a great season, sometimes its just a mediocre or bad season. Trying to pin that as a staple of Houston Nutt solely is patently wrong, and show a lack of the way college football and the SEC works.

by Jalakin on Aug 5, 2010 11:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

The last sentence should read

*Trying to pin that as a staple of Houston Nutt solely is patently wrong, and show a lack of knowledge for the way college football and the SEC works.

by Jalakin on Aug 5, 2010 11:31 AM EDT up reply actions  

Oh, let me guess,

those things just happen. Fate ’n shit like that, right?

Christopher Martin Gonzalez

by GonzoHog on Aug 5, 2010 12:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's kind of like Masoli.

He got his ass caught smoking/possesing weed, after already putting himself in the doghouse with the law twice, because “he’s a college kid, that’s what they do”, or “his situation is like a lot of others around the SEC”, or “he just made some bad decisions.”

Yeah Stewart Mandel is great, just as long as he isn’t talking about Ole Miss.

I'm new here

but Gonzo cracks me the f*&$ up. A giant fountain of shit, but still interesting to see.

by Olemissreb on Aug 6, 2010 10:56 AM EDT up reply actions  

Am I harrasing you?

Damn, and here all this time, I thought I was the guy who made this board unique and interesting. Maybe you should see a lawyer about this.
