Wal Mart War Memorial Stadium (Reuters) – Arkansas Razorback Head Coach Houston Nutt on Sunday promised hundreds of thousands of supporters he would win a
resounding victory in the December 2nd Southeastern Conference Championship Game he describes as a challenge to Herban Meyer and Nike’s Briscoe High Mafia (pictured below) . Nutt’s supporters (Oddly known as Jock Straps) on their way to Wal Mart Stadium leaned out of windows waving posters of their “Comandante,” and screamed “Viva Nutt.”

Nutt, a former assistant coach under Jimmy Johnson and the spitting cobra, Lou Holtz; brother to Dickey Nutt (no kidding, that is his name); and a self-styled revolutionary is favored by many pundits to beat Briscoe High’s Herban Meyer and the Florida Gators after building a solid home state political base through questionable off-season staff hiring actions that were seen as a blatant recruiting effort to secure Quarterback Mitch Mustain.


Nutt supporters or “Jock Straps” flooded Little Rock thoroughfares waving flags and banners, congregating in different parts of the downtown a day after Meyer sympathizers held a similar march at Briscoe High School collocated with Nike in Beaverton Oregon.
“We are confronting the devil, and we will hit a home run off the devil next Saturday,” said Nutt, who ruffled (chicken) feathers by calling Herban Meyer “the devil” in remarks at the SEC Media Day. “On December 2 we’re going to defeat the most evil college football empire on earth by knockout,” Nutt said.
Donning red like most of his supporters, Nutt delivered a two-hour speech marked by his signature combination of fiery leftist rhetoric and crowd antics typical of pop music concerts. He spent nearly ten minutes trying to see which of four groups of demonstrators could cheer louder — then told them all to be quiet.
“Whoever talks first will turn into a donkey,” he thundered, only to break into his unmistakable giggle.

Following his speech, Nutt drove through the packed Malzahn Avenue standing atop a Tyson Chicken Truck replete with chicken wire and feathers, dancing to political jingles and occasionally reaching into the crowd to shake hands with supporters.
