Editor's Note: a few weeks ago, we hosted an informal John Daly caption contest as a means of shaking off the post-Alabama game blues, with the prize of a front page Arkansas Expats post to whomever wrote our favorite caption. Well, after weeks of careful deliberation we now have a winner...congrats to Hogsbreath, who turned in a couple of quality entries.

As part of his compensation, Hogsbreath requested that his post run the week of the Ole Miss game. And so, without further delay, please enjoy his in-depth look into one possible scenario for Saturday's outcome:

Rebels' (can I still say that?) ball on the Arkansas 2. Nutt elects to punt and go to OT, figuring if he can get it to 7 periods or more, a win is guaranteed.
