"I don't care if we win another game this year," Bradley said, "as long as we beat Ole Miss."

Every SEC stadium I've been to (6) boo'd the visiting team on their entry. Ole Miss visiting Arkansas will be no different.

Now, will the boo's be louder and longer than usual? Hard to say. Regardless of my feelings for Coach Nutt, he still has many fans and friends in Arkansas.

The cheers for him may be just as obvious.

Nope...the BOOs were quite impressive, I must say. I've never seen 50,000 people hate one man so much. Very interesting. Even walking back to the truck after the game and listening to the radio on my way home Sunday afternoon all people could talk about was how this game didn't mean anything and that in a few years "Ole Miss will still be Ole Miss" and that we, as Rebel fans, will "find out what we hired" and "regret our decision" and that by then the Hogs will "be winning national championships" because Petrino is obviously the "better coach" and "outcoached Nutt" Saturday night.

Perhaps so, perhaps not, but right now...I couldn't be happier. We just won our second SEC football game. We just equaled the SEC win total of O's best year. We just equaled the overall record of O's best year. Two more conference wins and we're bowl eligible (something that hasn't happened since '03). The last time we beat Arkansas, Cutcliffe was coach and Eli was QB. The last time we beat them in Fayettenam, Deuce was carrying the rock. It don't matter, because when the clock hit 0:00 in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium Saturday night the scoreboard showed a victory for the Rebels, 23-21 no matter how close it was at the end.

Make that 70,000+ people. I must say, Ole Miss traveled well to this game. That is the fullest I have seen the visiting section this year.

There was a lot more at stake here than a W I think. It wasn't pretty, but at least we took the W home with us.

I still say that the game was only close because someone in the booth chose to allow it to be close. There is no way there was irrefutable proof to overturn the call on the on side kick. They showed the play from every angle and you could never see the ball from any one of them. How could you over turn the call of the ref who was standing right over the play? You could see the ref in the replay, standing 2 feet away, right on the out of bounds line with a clear view of the ball and the player. You couldn't even tell if the player ever got control of the ball, because you never saw the ball. No way that play was reversable.

We got the shaft on that call, just like we have umpteen number of times the past few years. I hate the review now, as it's ruining the game and just allows the haves to get one more up on the have nots.
