Anyone See the Arkansas - Carolina Game Last Night?

A college football genius who shall remain unnamed emailed the following observations to me this morning. How true, how true.

A promising young quarterback seemingly trying to run plays that were foreign to him, not suitable for his style.

A very high national ranking, lots riding on the game.

The usual assistant coaches in the box and on the sidelines.

The brothers-Nutt on the sideline biting nails.

Trick plays at the damnedest times -- times when they were not needed.

Strange penalties at crucial times.

Mindless timeouts called, also at crucial times.

An over-abundance of draw plays up the middle for the first 3 1/2 quarters, followed by some promising play in the last half of the 4th quarter that proved to be too little too late.

Strange post-game comments and analogies that seemed unrelated to the game just played.

The beginnings of a disgruntled fan base -- not because of the loss, but how the loss the occurred.

The only strange thing: Arkansas was wearing Ole Miss uniforms last night.

Last night was hilarious to watch. Every mistake Nutt was roasted for while he was in Fayetteville was replayed with Ole Miss players.

Today was even funnier.
