There’s been a lot of discussion in these parts about Houston Nutt coaching against Arkansas next fall when Ole Miss plays in Fayetteville. Nutt can only hope it turns out as well as Tommy Amaker’s first meeting against his former team.

Amaker was shown the door by Michigan earlier this year and then landed the job at Harvard. Yesterday, Michigan traveled east to face the Crimson. It turned out pretty well for Amaker: Harvard 62, Michigan 51.

Harvard scored the last 11 points, holding Michigan scoreless for the final three-and-a-half minutes of the game. Considering the Michigan program is down, it’s not quite the same, but Harvard fans were chanting “Appalachian State” prior to the game. Amaker downplayed the personal aspect of the win, saying it was “a win for our program, not a win for Tommy Amaker.”

Yeah, right, Tommy. That felt great and everybody knows it. No sense in trying to hide it.
