Mr. Over Conservative, Egotistical Football Coach

Remember the other day when we told you about the newest addition to the ultra exclusive Real Men of Genius club? No, not Mr. Overweight Model Molester and Verbal Abuser Point Guard Guy. We’re talking about Mr. Delusional, Irrational, Hopelessly Pathetic Notre Dame Football Fan. Well, move over Mr. Really Stinky Breath Breather Outer because there’s a new member of the guild. And try not to breath in his direction.

Does anybody else’s Gus Light taste a little Nutty?

Houston Nutt denies affair with television anchor


Things are getting so out of hand for Houston Nutt down in Arkansas that he issued a letter to the press concerning internet rumors that he was having an affair and that he was actively seeking higher profile jobs.

First, a little background:

– In December of 2006, disparaging comments previously made by Arkansas QB Mitch Mustain in 2005 about coach Nutt were published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
– Family friend Teresa Prewett then sends an email to Mustain addressing him as the “Interception King” and calling him a “little boy” and a “fag”. (You can read the timeline and entire email at Hog Blogger.)

– Mitch Mustain uses the Freedom of Information Act to request the telephone records of Houston Nutt.
– Everyone gets suspicious when it’s revealed Nutt text messaged a cute blonde television anchor over 1,000 times.

First, Nutt asserts that he remains “committed to our players, our fans, and the Razorback program’s tradition of excellence and success.” Well, that’s fine but we have heard that one before. No one trusts coaches after what Nick Saban did at Miami. Second, Nutt also addresses the rumors that he was having an affair:


The speculation and rumors that I have had an inappropriate relationship with Donna Bragg are unfounded and false. Let me be unequivocally clear that the relationship between Ms. Bragg and me is that of a friend and colleague in the community. Any allegation or suggestion that our professional and personal friendship or involvement goes beyond that is false, careless, and purposefully vindictive.


My communications with Ms. Bragg have concerned her work as a professional fundraiser for a non-profit organization dedicated to providing services to the developmentally disabled, her insights regarding the media, words of condolence and support regarding the loss of my mother-in-law after her battle with cancer, and information relating to her close friend who was diagnosed with cancer.

Translation: “Look, dickheads, my mother in law died of cancer and I was supporting a friend who had a friend with cancer. So back off.” You see what Nutt did there? Well played.
