We hadn’t heard or seen much from Sonny Weems since he left Arkansas for the NBA two seasons ago. Outside of the offseason when he was shipped from Denver to Milwaukee to Toronto, Weems hasn’t been in the news much. That changed a bit Tuesday night when he got a career-high minutes and made the most of it. Weems scored 12 points with 2 assists and 2 rebounds in 27 minutes. Not bad for a guy who has played just 6.3 minutes per game in a 16-game career. Here’s hoping this isn’t the end of the good news for Weems, the 6-foot-6 guard/forward from West Memphis.

A Woopig.net poster nailed it on the head last week: "[Arkansas has] had problems but we never had a season that started with a number 4 ranking and ended with the klan marching through campus." And so it goes for the Ole Miss Rebels as they prepare for a CBS-televised game against No. 10 LSU. With the red-hot tension simmering between some fans after a marching song was banned from being performed at games because it sparked chants of "The South will rise again!" and a racist Ole Miss frat boy (Michael Hudec) caught on tape saying some very, very bad things, the freakin' Ku Klux Klan has planned a big ol' rally tomorrow morning in Oxford. Say what we have about Houston Nutt, but the Ole Miss football coach has consistently shown that he's the furthest thing from being a racist. As much as we'd like to see his recruiting slack a little, we certainly wouldn't wish hard times on him because his on-campus recruits couldn't find a parking space because of the KKK rally going on down the street. It'd be funny if it weren't so sad. It says a lot about Oxford, Miss., these days.
