Got a mention in the Sunday Commercial Appeal

Scott Cacciola had an article today in the paper about Orgeron. Here is the excerpt...

Orgeron has faced obstacles during his tenure in Oxford. Critics questioned his readiness when he was hired-- he had never been a head coach -- and he has been easy fodder for satirists who poke fun at his thick Louisiana accent. To wit, "Colonel Reb Is Crying," the popular product of Memphis-based sports-radio host Chris Vernon, has been viewed 285,434 times on YouTube.com. Orgeron's gruff image has been hard to shake.

That vid has gotten over 2 thousand hits since this was published this morning (up over 287,000 now). Thanks for the pub Scott.
