The year 2007 is in its final days and my traditional period of reflection has begun. The drama that consumed the last few years of Houston Dale is over — traded in like a 10 year-old car that ran okay…but had an interior that smelled like old gym socks.

“The Rest Of It”
August 12, 2005 By
Pat Forde of ESPN.com includes Houston Nutt in his column today: Coaches have different styles, same goals. “From 6 o’clock to 11:30 every day, I’m totally devoted in the offensive film room,” Nutt said. “From 12 o’clock until it’s time to go to practice, that time is for the rest of it.” “The rest of [...]
Like A Pro

After only moving to defensive end at the very end of spring practice, former wideout Anthony Brown appears to be one of the defensive highlights so far of fall camp. Nate Allen quotes Coach Herring: “I don’t think there is any doubt the tempo-setter is Anthony Brown,” Herring said of the wide receiver he moved [...]

Reggie Herring quoted on tonight’s Razorback Nation: “We’re starting from bare…naked…scratch. From the basics on up. From learning how to stand…how to buckle your chin strap.

Robbie Neiswanger writes about something Reggie Herring has done in his first eight months that Don Decker wasn’t able to do for years…get the defensive line to lay off the fried chicken and pizza. And if you’re Houston Nutt [...]
Tuesdaze — Last Open Practice
August 9, 2005 By
Tuesday’s open practice was well attended by fans and media types alike, with appropriate set-ups for live shots, an extended cell phone call into a talk show, and the water girls staying busy due to the heat. The black tarp around the fence and the sunken nature of the West side of the practice field [...]
Is Closing Practices Enough?
August 9, 2005 By
This closed practice thing has gotten a bit silly. If the media proper and the postings by various media types on message boards can be believed, we’ve learned that: Houston didn’t like cell phone calls into radio shows, Reggie Herring screaming at players should be a secret, parents are not aware that football is a [...]
