Updating from the presser
- Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt says he belives the emotion surrounding his departure as Arkansas coach has mostly "died down" but acknowledged that "a few" are probably still over there would really like to see the Hogs beat Houston.
- Tailback Brandon Bolden said the atmosphere was "crazy" the last time Ole Miss visited Arkansas. He remembers a chaotic scene in trying to get off the field after the Rebels' 23-21 win. Nutt is 2-0 against his old team. The Rebels won 30-17 in Oxford last year. Says Bolden: "I'm pretty sure they still don't like coach Nutt, just like we don't like them."
- Nutt said A.J. Hawkins, who was the regular center until last week at Alabama when he did not play because of injury, will start at right guard in place of the injured Logan Clair. Nutt praised the job freshman center Evan Swindall did against Alabama.
- Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino says QB Ryan Mallett, who sustained a concussion in the Razorbacks' 65-43 loss at Auburn, is on course to practice Tuesday if he continues to exhibit no lingering symptoms.
- Petrino says he notices big changes in the Ole Miss offense with Jeremiah Masoli at QB. Masoli took a quick visit to Arkanas when he was leaving junior college before ultimately signing with Oregon.
Today, our country is being led down the road into socialism, and much worse to come, if we don't make a change, AND NOW

That is great, I just hope you voted anything other than Republican. Their plan is to abolish social security, take away our healthcare, and allow corporations to enslave us all. I'm not giving you a big bang on being a democrat because they are no better. Obama was a reformer, but when the corporations saw he was going to win the election they began pouring on the money. We have got to change the way we allow elections to be bought by these corporations. This time, it's foreign companies buying elections through the chamber of commerce. Our country is gone. The only thing that might save it is a complete over-throw of the government and a new beginning. We must have laws that limit corporate influence. Out of roughly, 305 cases concerning the 19th Amendment, 277 of them have been corporations using the judicial branch to gain the same rights as the individual. We must stop worrying about stupid stuff like where the Mosque is going to be built or whether Obama is a Muslim. The important thing is stopping all these goof-balls from undermining our country. They keep issues at the forefront that are worthless while they all sell us to Goldman-Sachs. We need FDR's 2nd bill of rights. He died to soon to see them implemented but someone has got to protect the middle and lower class people. Every politician is Washington and at the state level are owned by big business, all of them. We see the judicial system is not honest with bribed judges and a supreme court justice's wife leading a political movement. In my opinion justices are not supposed to be political, especially the supreme court. There is no longer an avenue for the common working man to be made heard. It's a sad day for all the men and women who have given their lives for this country only to watch as it is exploited and killed by the enemy within.
*The most famous player on that Florida team was Emmitt Smith, now an NFL Hall of Famer and the league's all-time leading rusher. He was a sophomore.
*Galen Hall was the Florida's head coach. Steve Spurrier wouldn't become head coach for another two seasons.
* Ronald Reagan was president.
The most important about the above is that I WISH RONALD REAGAN WAS PRESIDENT NOW!!!!
The Gators will survive but our country is in having a tought econicial go and we need some one in the WH that can run this country.
Election day staring today in Florida and me and the Sgt Maj did our part at the voting place.
