David Kellum didn't like Mullen's speech at the end of the game and said so on the radio.

to say that crap but if we respond, we are classless or have overstepped our bounds. We need to be prepared for what is coming down the pike. If it looks like we are gaining any traction at all, they will be on our asses at every turn. They will not stand for MSU being of any significance in football. Get ready for the great Mullin hunt to begin.

everybody "swimming to the boat" and "we are at a level now where we can pick and choose who we want." Bottom line is the head coach has to be a PR guy and do whatever it takes to recruit and put their program in the spotlight. As far as Kellum, everything stings when you lose. It's a hypocritical statement when you combine it with Nutt's statements earlier in the week. But he is David Kellum. Most Ole Miss fans I know are embarrassed of him but I think he's locked into that spot from what they tell me.

I don't understand the fuss being made over Mullen's comments. Nutt started the week by basically accusing MSU of negative recruiting. Nutt proceeded to talk about how recruits are swimming to the boat and them being the one program getting stronger.

I like that Mullen called him on it. I like that Mullen is putting priority on the game. I like that Mullen is not scared to compete. I like how Mullen emphasizes competing in every way, every day.

Nutt has never been involved in an instate rivalry, unless you count Boise and Idaho. I think it is as new to him as if he were a rookie coach. He is having trouble deciding whether the game is important or not, play it up or de-emphasize it......

What's wrong is OM (and the OM press club)is spinning it like it's Mullen starting ****. I agree had it been accurately freported as OM starting it and Mullen responding is good.

Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt had taken refuge in the locker room when someone handed Mississippi State's Dan Mullen a microphone on the field Saturday at MSU's Scott Field.
from the Sun Herald story.

If they don't like him now, they're really not going to like him a year from now.

It was in reference to a question about other programs using the KKK rally against us.

"Without a doubt (they're using it). And that's fine. It's not going to help them. This is one program in the state that's getting very strong."

He didn't say anything about other programs. He referenced his own program. I could see how it could be taken as a jab if you try to read into it that he's saying others aren't getting strong, but he didn't come out and say it that way. You really have to read between the lines to find smack talk there, but that's what Mullen was looking for. He's obviously seeking out smack talk and has been since he got to MSU. That's his way of going about it, and I understand it because he's making Mississippi recruiting his primary priority. If he's going to do that, he's going to spend a lot of his focus in trying to run down his primary in state competition for that talent.

That's his perrogative, but if there is one thing I've learned, if you open your mouth to run smack, you're going to eventually end up eating your words.

..."in this state." If he leaves that out, it's a throwaway comment. He could be talking about anybody. However, that phrase is the kicker. We all know who he was talking about.

All Mullen did was repeat those words. He didn't reference any other programs.

If you're going to play off Nutt's comments as not talking smack, by your same logic you have to also say that Mullen's comments weren't talking smack.

"One program IN THIS STATE" essentially references the other two programs in the state and especially the one you are playing that week. Otherwise he would have just said "This is one program that's getting very strong." What the 17 is the point of saying "in this state" otherwise?

True and Nutt definitely left that door open for Mullen. Mullen is going to look for chances to reference us in a negative light as possible because like I said, it's the biggest part of his recruiting strategy to do well in state, and we're his biggest competition in state for most players.

Well Bruiser, any thoughts on Nutt's use of the term "on the rise" in light of the recent TSSRA controvery. Quite ironic-No?

It's on paper. He took the jab at MSU first. He's also referencing MSU in recruiting. See Vincent Sanders article - written by yours truly Yancy Porter.

You are done. Your spin just doesn't fly anymore. You have nothing left to say.

By going out of their way to run up the score last year. They were throwing the bomb up 35 points. They posted many happy returns on the scoreboard. Then Nutt starts talking smack. We took our *** whipping last year and waited til this year to respond and did so by running over your *** and the Capital One reps at the same time. Rebs, suck it up and deal with the fact the Ninja and Mullen are not going to let this crap go any more. To the victors go the spoils and if your coach wants to talk smack, be prepared to be called on it. I for one am glad to see a little fire comming back to this game.

I've heard him and his ship of asspirates refer to MSU as "Bullpups" and crap like that before, and call our players thugs on the air.

If they don't like having **** thrown back in their face, they shouldn't talk **** in the first place. Especially if they can't back it up.

Those were Mullen's words. Nutt's words were that he knew we were one program that was getting very strong, but nice try.
