Seems like old times (Ole Miss v. LSU)
Neither Les Miles nor Houston Nutt pretends to be well-versed in the long-standing history and tradition of the LSU-Ole Miss rivalry.
“Go to hell, Ole Miss” wasn’t exactly a phrase that made much of an impact in Miles’ native Ohio or Michigan where he played and coached.
Growing up in Arkansas, Nutt was more wrapped up in the Razorbacks and their annual blood feuds with Texas than he was in figuring out what “Hotty toddy, gosh almighty” meant.
As players wrapped up in their own lives and then young assistant coaches focused on climbing an uncertain career ladder, Miles and Nutt had plenty of other opponents and rivalries to occupy their consciousness.
