Houston Nutt, Radio Host (Times 2)? Are you Sirius?

Posted by Adam Butler on May 17, 2012

Reports out of the 50th State (wait for it….) indicate the former Mississippi Rebel Black Bear head coach is taking his malapropisms to the SiriusXM Satellite Radio airwaves.

There are lots of FMs, and AMs, but there’s only one Sirius (pronounced serrous by the former Mississippi Coach) XM. It’s special.

This should be a Hoot(ie).

Nolan Richardson’s Son, Nolan Richardson III, Found Dead

Posted by Adam Butler on May 14, 2012

in his Tulsa home Sunday afternoon by his wife. Early reports indicate Nolan “Notes” III died of natural causes.

“Notes”, as he was nicknamed, died at 47. He was an assistant to his father at Arkansas and later, for a brief, controversial stint, was the head coach at Tennessee State.

Our thoughts are with Nolan and Rose Richardson. I cannot fathom the pain of burying not one, but two children.

Hogs’ Turbulent Offseason Continues; 3 More Arrested

Posted by Adam Butler on May 12, 2012

Bobby Petrino ended up in a roadside ditch and several of his former players seem to want to join him there.

Wide receivers Marquel Wade and Maudrecus Humphrey and tight end Andrew Peterson were arrested today in Fayetteville for an alleged residential burgary. All three have been suspended indefinitely.

They join senior offensive tackle Jason Peacock (felony theft), defensive end Tyler Gilbert (aggravated residential burglary)  and wide receiver Kane Whitehurst (possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia) on the Hogs’ ever-growing offseason rap sheet.

The next 10 months will be pivotal in determining whether the UA program remains a borderline elite one or slips back to its previous middle-of-the-road national standing.

If the disciplinary issues aren’t addressed strongly, the team doesn’t win on the field and the UA doesn’t hire the right head coach moving forward, the program will be in a roadside ditch along with Petrino.

Don’t end up in a roadside ditch.
