Nutt Out In Oxford, Jack Magoo's, Tamales

It is being widely reported that Houston Nutt will announce his resignation effective at the end of the season at Mississippi at a 2pm presser. The big question is why did it take so long? Nutt should have been let go last year. It appears that athletic director Pete Boone will also be a casualty. Here's the short list of names I'm hearing to replace Nutt...Terry Bowden (HC at North Alabama), Hugh Freeze (HC at Arkansas State), Skip Holtz (HC at South Florida), Mike Leach (former HC at Texas Tech), Gus Malzahn (OC at Auburn), Kirby Smart (DC at Alabama) and Kevin Sumlin (HC at Houston).

Memphis fans and boosters should get the same ball rolling, especially if Memphis loses to UAB this weekend.

I had the opportunity to go to Jack Magoo's over the weekend to watch football games. Located on Broad Avenue, Jack Magoo's is a great place to gather for drinks, grab a bite to eat and to watch sports. There isn't a bad view in the place.

Speaking of Jack Magoo's food, I noticed there were tamales on the menu, so I gave them a try. They were a little spicy, but overall were very good. I'd definitely get them again, but Bosco's still has the lead.
