Ole Miss fans, get your Houston Nutt fix right here.  (Arkansas fans, you’re getting this as well because just about every story alludes to Nutt’s years with the Hogs.)

Wally Hall of wholehogsports.com says that Nutt is still the same “motivated communicator” that he was when he was in Fayetteville.

Here’s a preview of this year’s Ole Miss team.

Nutt sees similarities between his first Ole Miss team and his first Arkansas team 10 years ago… a team he led to an 8-0 start and a Top 10 ranking.

Nutt admitted that Arkansas still weighs on his mind.  “You can’t help but think about it.  You grew up in Arkansas and you thought at one time you’d be there for life.  We had some great days and great times, so you can’t help but think what it’s going to be like coming from the visitor’s side.”

Nutt said it didn’t feel odd attending Media Days with Ole Miss, rather than Arkansas.  “I don’t feel like it’s that big of a difference as strange as it may sound.  It feels good.  It feels right.”

Michael Oher is glad he came back for his senior year at Ole Miss.

Nutt may see similarities between this Ole Miss team and his first Arkansas team, but can he really turn around a Rebel program that is 3-21 in the SEC since 2005.

Here’s an Ole Miss notes column from David Brandt of The Jackson Clarion-Ledger.

Defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix is drawing plenty of praise from Nutt.
