In fact, Faulkner s house is nearby. Meeting them will be King David and his soldiers, divided into groups of eleven. But unlike the Biblical King David, Cutcliffe will not tell his soldiers to deal gently with Absalom .

Ole Miss fans loathe Tuberville. Tuberville was Oxford s fair son, greatly admired for his coaching panache and promise. While he may not have been regarded as without flaw, he was regarded as the best thing to happen to Ole Miss football in an age and, even better, he happened at the moment when Ole Miss football future appeared dimmest. To fully appreciate the Ole Miss fans feelings for Tuberville, you have to imagine how the citizens of Metropolis would have felt if Superman had abandoned them to caretake in, say, Gotham. I figure that the Metropolis-Gotham comparison is helpful in another way, too.
