Ole Miss named great school to work for | Oxford News
While not sports related, it is interesting to see that the Chronicle of Higher Education has, for the third straight year, listed Ole Miss as one of the top ten universities in America to work for. I can't lie; I'd love to work for Ole Miss (DID YOU HEAR THAT, DAN?) and I think I'd do quite well in whatever capacity they'd have me, including janitor.

In Jackson, Nutt stirs up more Egg Bowl drama | More Clarion Ledger

For now, click this. Later this morning, I will recap last night's event in Jackson. Like Jacob in the most important parts of the Losties' lives, I was there.

Reports: Masoli, Cornell agree to NFL deals | Clarion Ledger

Jeremiah Masoli, Jonathan Cornell, and LaMark Armour all signed deals as undrafted free agents after the NFL ended their lockout. As Ghost posted yesterday, Masoli's headed to San Francisco. Cornell will be a Titan, and Armour will join America's team. Congrats, gentlemen.

Chat: Derek Dooley, Houston Nutt | SportsNation - ESPN

Get caught up on the chat session Houston Nutt had with ESPN and ESPN viewers earlier this week by clicking this link. See where the poor schmuck typing out Nuttspeak for ESPN mentions "Brian Bennet," "Gilber Pena," "Joe Kite," and other Ole Miss Rebels of mention and misinterpretation. It's nice to see that Houston doesn't know the actual first names of defensive starters.

RE: CJ Johnson and PhoneGate

My take on the situation was Pogue offered a phone number, and CJ accepted, nothing more. If there was any more to it, Nutt wouldn’t have shared the story.

Of course, State fans believe it is just another example of how OM has SP in its hip pocket.

Just another "good for nothing law school grad".

It's 25 miles from our university

I would hope we have it in our hip pocket.

That's actually pretty clever.

I’ll give a rec for it.

Sports are chaotic and stupid; and we're bad at them.

I would happily accept this rec but...

I fear it would only reinforce the stereotype.

BTW, I am not trolln’ over here. I actually enjoy the writing, for the most part.

State can't complain about steering players.

Think about it, they graduate pretty much every future high school coach in the state. They have more alumni coaching Ms hs ball than OM could dream of having right now. I know a few people that HAD to go to State just for that degree. And to adress having coaches in the hip pocket, think about west point, tupelo, Columbus, eupora, and pretty much the whole delta. OM just has more access to better programs to cherry pick from, IMO. Not to mention OM can actually recruit out of state.
