It's a small world, after allWhat if some recently 'relocated' coaches met up?Posted: Wednesday November 28, 2007 5:19PM; Updated: Wednesday November 28, 2007 5:31PM
If some of college football's recently "relocated" coaches ran into each other at the airport: Houston Nutt: Ed, is that you? Ed Orgeron? What on earth are you doing in handcuffs? [To TSA agent:] Why is this man in custody? Agent: He became belligerent when one of the flight attendants offered him a pillow -- started shouting "Everyone's a comedian!" when the poor man was only trying to do his job. He seems to have cooled off, so we're going to release him. [To Orgeron:] Here's your shirt back, sir. Nutt: Fancy meeting you here, Ed. Wow, this is really awkward, but I'm actually headed to Oxford. Would you mind if I park in your space? Orgeron: Not at all, Houston. [Rubbing his wrists:] Ahh, that feels better. You know, that whole mess with the missing pillows and clock radios -- it never woulda gone public if some of those newspaper snoops didn't request a bunch of e-mails between the hotel and Ole Miss. Turns out they're allowed to do that under something called the FOIA. That's the Freedom of Inform--" Nutt: I'm familiar with it, Ed. [Changing the subject:] So, what's next for you? You think they may take you back at USC? Team hasn't been the same since you left, has it? It's a little sad, actually. Orgeron: I'll tell you what's sad, Coach Nutt -- them beatin' y'all by a combined score of 120-31 in 2005 and '06. Anyway, if I pay 'em a visit, I'll be sure to tell Mitch Mustain you said hello. Nutt: No need to get angry, Coach O. I'm just trying to make small talk here. Anyway, I'm sorry they had to let you go. I know those fans were a little rough on you. Orgeron: They had a field day with my emotional swings, and the way I enunciate. What can I say? I'm an emotional guy. Gotta be ya'self, right? What player wants to go to battle for some coach with all the fire of that mannequin over there? Nutt: That's not a mannequin, you imbecile, it's Chan Gailey. [To Gailey:] Chan! What a coincidence! I was just consoling Coach O, so let me do the same for you. I'm sure you won't be looking for work long.
