Come on Razorback fans, get over it!

Good Saturday morning.  I decided this morning that I wanted to Blog about something that is really bugging me.  It has to do with a small, or maybe not so small, group of Razorback fans.I am very frustrated by the news reports I am hearing.

I guess I should give a brief background.  11 years ago Arkansas hired a former Razorback, Houston Nutt, as their head coach.  The enthusiasm for Nutt was huge! Over the course of the next ten years, Houston Nutt led the Hogs to 75 Victories and 8 bowl games.  Many big names have came through his program and went on ot play in the NFL.  One player was a runner up in the Heisman. Houston Nutt being the head coach had a part in all these players successes.  I will admit that last year, things got a little sticky.  Many things were said and dont by Houston Nutt, the players, and the media that never hsould ahve happened.  It may have been time for Houston to leave, but the way the fans have and continue to react is sickening.  Razorback fans have always been known as being polite nad having class.  Over the last year we true Razorback fans have been given a bad name nad laughed at by many other organizations.  At the end of the season last year a group of fans banned together to wear black in protest of Nutt.  Once thye got what they wanted, and he resigned you figure that would be the end of the protest.

We now come to today.  Arkansas has a new coach in Bobby Patrino and Houston Nutt is now the head coach of Ole Miss. The former and coach, will return to Donald W. Reynolds Stadium for a game between his new team and his old.  I believe Houston Nutt will always be a Razorback fan no matter how sorry the “Razorback fans” treat him.  There are rumors flying around that the same group that wore black last year will wear black today. They are also planning to Boo Nutt when his new team takes the field.  All I have to say about that is GROW UP! MOVE ON! If you are a true fan of the Hogs you will like them win or lose. You would realize that we aren’t having a great season and our current team and coach need our support.  Lets move on! Show some class. Go to this game and support your team! Be good sports. Houston Nutt is a great coach nad Ole Miss will give Arkansas a huge challenge today. We have already been humilated enough by the media because of your actions.  Lets not fuel the fire! Have a great Saturday, and GO HOGS!!
