Number one, you’ve got two ballgames left and a lot of these guys have done a lot of good things these last two years. And it’s easy to dwell on the negative. It’s easy to sit up on the 50-yard line, it’s easy to sit there and say ‘Bad, bad, bad, bad, embarrassing.’ And hey, I was the first one to say it after Saturday. Man, I don’t want to do that. If you think you’re hurting, you oughta just look at the tip of my itsy-bitsy little finger and then go all the way up through my body. I’m sick to my stomach. The Tennessee game, because we planned on winning that game.
Assholes from Arkansas will proudly thump their wimpy chests and gloat about how they “told us so” or “warned” us (Oh, gee, thanks for the neighborly “warning,” dipshits. Don’t play your semantic games with me, damnit, I’m above that.), but we all knew this would happen all along. We all knew the other shoe would drop at some point at some time because, at Ole Miss, it always does.

A More Measured Response, or “Let’s See Other People” - Red Cup Rebellion
In which Ole Miss fans sound like Mets fans.
And honestly I don’t hate Ole Miss fans anymore than I did before the Houston Nutt saga. I hated how the media put him on some pedestal that he didn’t earn. Rebel fans ate it up just as any other team would but the media were the ones to blame.
(OK, this might be a lie. I really do hate them more than I did before. Sorry, I tried.)

It didn’t take too long for you guys to come around.

Believe it… he’s there!
*Sorry for the SD pic… ESPN3 is streaming really crappy quality on this game
I’m sure Nutt is quite giggity about this.

“I go back with coach Nutt a long ways, but he knows I’m like him. We’re both competitive,” Mallett said. “So on Saturday it’s going to be no holds barred. Let’s go.”
ESPN: The 40 greatest villains in college football, past and present.
25. Houston Nutt — Ole Miss coach, 2008-present
Hated by: Arkansas.
Claim to Infamy: Benched adored true freshman quarterback Mitch Mustain in 2006 despite his 8-0 record as Arkansas’ starter. Engaged in hissy in-fighting with Mustain’s mother, Beck Campbell, provoking statewide dissension between Nutt backers and those championing Mustain and other members of the so-called “Springdale Mafia.” (Springdale High School is where Mustain, coach Gus Malzahn and several other players achieved glory before matriculating to misery in Fayetteville.) Text messages to TV anchor scrutinized and program atmosphere poisoned, Nutt jumped out and landed at SEC West rival Ole Miss. Defeated Razorbacks last season on the way to surprising 9-4 record and Cotton Bowl victory, while Arkansas struggled to 5-7 record.
34. Tim Tebow — Florida quarterback, 2006-present
Hated by: All non-Gators in SEC, plus sizeable pockets of resistance elsewhere.
Claim to Infamy: Too virtuous and too celebrated for many rivals’ tastes. Scripture on eye black construed as religious grandstanding in some corners. Willingness to run over opposing linebackers and/or sever a limb to win does not help his standing with opposing fans. Mainly because he does win with tiresome regularity and irksome wholesomeness.
