I think Houston Nutt is a pretty good coach, but I think his strong suit is/was motivating his players. I saw him coach in person in the late 90s in the only year he was at Boise State. But Ed Ogeron left him a pretty full cupboard at Ole Miss, especially Jevan Snead. I don't know what Petrino had to work with this year. I also don't know the details behind him leaving Atlanta, but from what I have read, if I were an Atlanta Falcon fan, I don't think I would ever want to see him back. If I were a top college coach, I really don't think I would want to coach the pros. Look at all those who have tried unsuccessfully, like Pete Carroll, Nick Saban, and Lou Holtz. I don't blame them for wanting to move up, and the challenge, but I just don't think I would want to coach "real" professionals. WW

Yeah, there will be some happy Beaver alumni at work tomorrow. Most folks around here are WSU grads, but we have the Oregon schools and UW represented. WW

Growing up in Louisiana, I am all to familiar with SEC football. Not too many rocket scientists coming up through the ranks (except maybe Vandy). But like the saying goes, how many times did you see 90,000 people screaming over science project.

I agree. From what I have read of most of the regular members, the discussions are probably very interesting, minus the insults, and derogatory comments that appear on other sites.

Glad you made it through okay. Can't say that I have ever been through a hurricane. I remember when Camille and Betsy went through north Louisiana in the 60s. We really got a lot of rain and wind from Camille. I have not heard of much organized volunteer work yet, but I am sure when things settle out, there will be some. I spent some time in Bay St. Louis, MS in Dec 2005 after Katrina. So, as a native Texan who grew up in Louisiana, I'll probably look for the right group to go down there when the time is right. WW
