Mr. Mallett vs. The Mississippi Coach
Posted by Adam Butler on October 22, 2009
Who do you believe?
Mustain transferred after one season, and Nutt never really regained the support of the Arkansas fan base. Nutt left the Razorbacks after the 2007 regular season and took over at Ole Miss. Less than two months later, Petrino was at Arkansas and Mallett was a Razorback.
Nutt says the move wasn’t a surprise.
“He tried to talk to me a lot while he was at Michigan, and I talked to (Michigan coach Lloyd) Carr and let him know the situation. He’s just a good person, good quarterback, excellent football player. He was just unhappy at the time,” Nutt said. “There’s no doubt that he was going to transfer and he was ready to get back to Arkansas.”
Mallett has said Carr’s retirement—announced just before Nutt left Arkansas—was what led him to transfer. His father, Jim Mallett, questioned the idea that the quarterback wanted to leave Michigan all along.
“That’s the first I’ve heard of that,” Jim Mallett said.

Future CEO
Posted by Brett Kincaid on October 22, 2009
This kid, 19-year-old Charley Cooper, already understands the CEO life. I only wish I had considered this while I was in school.
Cooper, 19, logged on to the university’s student employment Web site last week and posted an ad for someone to tackle “some of my everyday tasks,” such as organizing his closet, dropping him off and picking him up from work, scheduling haircuts, putting gas in the car and taking it in for service, managing his electronic accounts and doing laundry (although the assistant will be paid only for the time spent loading, unloading and folding clothes, not the entire laundry cycle).
