Mitch Mustain received the original email and forward the contents to his mother (Beck Campbell).
After the email got forwarded to others by his mother (NOTE: one of the names on the forwarding list was Zack Pianalto, a TE Arkansas was recruiting, another Springdale HS kid and now a North Carolina commit), there was a followup reply sent to Wally Hall at Arkansas Online (this was posted on an Arkansas board):

Subject: Today's article
Wally:
I've decided to write to you today regarding your article, and even though you can't hear my voice, please know that I am screaming – loud!! It's amazing that you continue to stir the pot, but I guess you're going to tell me that it's just your job. Bull crap. The large amount of "dysfunction" appears to be in the media, the journalist, and some north west AR self-proclaimed "Big Boys."
Houston Nutt – You are correct – there are schools interested in him – schools have been interested in him for the last nine years. Other schools were interested in him during two 4-7 seasons. I specifically remember him warning us that it would be a tough two seasons after being under investigation and probation for THREE years, which cost us a ton of scholarships, and we have Frank to thank for that. Like any good business man, he took the time to listen to Nebraska and LSU, but he always thought home was better. Now, after a 10-3 season, SEC Western Division Championship, SEC Coach of the Year, Region Coach of the year, Doak Walker award candidate, Heisman Trophy candidate, he continues to be blasted, questioned, and disrespected by people like you. Did I mention that he did this in the toughest conference in the country? Did I mention that the Hogs had been to Atlanta twice since Florida had been once in 2006? Did I mention that the Hogs were picked fourth in their division pre-season? Did I mention that after USC won 50-14 in Fayetteville, Houston pulled a very young team off the turf and won 10 straight. Did I mention that the Hogs were 15 points, and 3 special teams mistakes away from being where Florida is? Did I mention all of this after having to change QB's twice? I also hope I mentioned that Houston has assisted in raising more money for the "Ever So Mighty Foundation" than anyone in Razorback history. Did you happen to notice that high school football was brought back to life after Houston stepped on campus due to his reaching out to form relationships with high school coach's. I hope you remember Danny Ford and the wonderful bond he had formed with everyone in this state, and please don't forget about Jack Crow and Joe Kines – those were some fun times weren't they?! Do I need to remind you that Houston's Hog's are graduating if they aren't leaving for the NFL early? Houston III is a freshman at the University of Arkansas, Hannah and Hailey are seniors at Fayetteville High School, and Haven is a sophomore at Fayetteville High School. These kids have spent all of their adolescence in Fayetteville being a Hog, being wonderful productive kids, and they too have suffered because of the way their father has been treated over the years in their home state. Do you know how that disgusts me? You say that it "comes with the job," but once again, bull crap. Having your family subjected to different forms of abuse is not part of any job – no matter how much money someone makes. You say it is like this "everywhere," but when it happens at HOME, everything changes, and those bridges come tumbling down. By the way, you stated that Houston "really didn't look happy" about being the so-called "chief executive" – what, are you sitting up in the press box watching his facial expressions, do you have him bugged on the sideline, or what. I'm just trying to figure out how YOU KNOW what he's feeling and/or thinking. That really is a unique talent you have in knowing what people think and feel. Also, I might add, while you may call him chief executive, his title as of today is: Coach Houston Nutt – Head Football Coach of the University of Arkansas. The head coach that has the second longest tenure in the SEC. Respect the coach, respect the man, respect the family.
Gus Malzahn – I am very interested in this man checking out other schools – I am actually begging that he does leave. Do I call him Gus or God? I'm sure you'll give me the correct answer. I'm sure he does deserve some credit for the success of the season, but he and his Springdale Pansies are more of a cancer. Everyone talks, including you, of freshmen needing time to adjust to the speed of the game in the SEC (did you happen to notice the speed of the linebackers, cornerbacks, and defensive ends for Florida), but I haven't heard much about a coach needing to be able to adjust from high school to college ball in the SEC! Are you kidding me? You want to bring the hurry up no huddle to the Hogs when you have McFadden and Jones?! This isn't Springdale vs. Fayetteville, Rogers, Central, Northside, Southside, etc… This IS Hogs vs. Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, LSU, Auburn, etc… Most of those schools have more depth than we do at most positions, so ball control is important game in and game out. You want to run the hurry up no huddle offense when you have a freshman QB that had difficulty reading defenses game in and game out? Yes, I'm sure he did help with the offense, but all that has occurred since they all arrived on campus is a great deal of crying to mommies and daddies. – grow up damn it. This is the SEC. Frank may give him a big raise, but if Frank is such a great judge of talent for assistants, somebody should be reminding him of an assistant named Coach Danny Nutt. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what this man has done since he walked on campus, and I'm not even talking about the part where he fought thru a close call with death and severe permanent disability. Danny is the one that has recruited one outstanding back after another, and will now be sitting on stage for the Doak Walker Award and the Heisman Trophy Award, and in an interview with McFadden yesterday, McFadden was quoted as saying "None of this would have been possible without Coach Danny Nutt." Someone needs to be giving this Nutt a raise, but I guess because he is the head coach's brother, that his work and success doesn't count for anything. While we're talking about assistants that need a raise and recognition – lets talk about Coach Markuson and Coach Rocker. Lets talk about the offensive line blowing holes open for two 1000 yd. rushers (first time in Arkansas history), and lets talk about the progress the defensive line made – those men from the Rock were the rock. The only recruits that Gus could get on campus are his Springdale pansies. Wake up people. Gus may one day be great, but what happened this year was not because of his greatness. He is in the process of learning – just like his freshmen.
Mitch Mustain – does this young man still suck on a pacifier? Just wondering. I have his transfer papers ready. He can go throw interceptions for UCA for all I care. I take that back, I went to school at UCA, so lets send him to Arkansas Tech. I think we should have all had our eyes open when he played on national T.V. in the all-star game last year and stunk it up because he was finally playing against the Big Boys from other states from around the country. Maybe this young man needs to learn that if he's the starting QB, that he needs to bring it to practice each and every day, act like he gives a damn, and become a leader. When he plays an awful game (Alabama), he needs to admit he made mistakes, and leave the excuses in his jock strap. Mitch didn't really want to be a Hog in the first place, and he and his mom can go elsewhere. Is he afraid of competition? If he thinks he can't beat out Casey Dick with hard work in the spring and summer, then please go. I despise athletes that are afraid of competition – they are an embarrassment to their sport. He has the potential to be big time, but he has to get his head right, and his mother really needs to invest in duct tape. Shut The Hell Up You Pompass Cow. This is the SEC. Leave your high school letter jacket at home. Once again, grow up. Hey Mitch, leave if you want, but if you stay, get your crap together and compete. Try to get better and stop pouting. There is no "I" in team, and Houston demands team work!!!!!!!
Other Springdale Players – just please catch the damn ball – it's awful when your drop ratio is greater than your catch ratio. Did you happen to watch the Florida receivers? If so, and if you have one working brain cell, you would know that those two men, Cleveland and Williams, would not have stepped on the field their freshman year at Florida. They had a difficult enough time getting off the line of scrimmage against the SEC big boys consistently, and Cleveland has to get bigger if he's going to be a true tight end in the SEC, and he has to be able to learn his blocking schemes. Once again, freshmen, learning curve, and need a year to get bigger, stronger, and hopefully faster. Wouldn't hurt to do a little work on catching the ball consistently in the big games. Doing it every once in a blue moon won't cut it. They need to be excited that they played as much as they did. If they want to be in the hurry up no huddle offense they need to do their best to assist in recruiting big time receivers to Arkansas. Thank God for Marcus Monk, his work ethic, his team first attitude, and his character. The Springdale pansies should take heed.
Darren McFadden – you almost got this one right Wally. This young man is unbelievable. Aren't we glad Danny Nutt recruited him? Aren't we glad he really wanted to be a Hog? Aren't we glad he didn't pout his freshmen year after he didn't get a ton of carries early on? Aren't we glad he's a team player? Maybe you should be the one to meet him face to face to tell him we should be running the no huddle hurry up offense so the Springdale pansies will be happy. While you're at it, why don't you tell those offensive linemen (3 first team all SEC) the same thing, and tell them how they should have had to change their entire blocking schemes to pacify the Springdale pansies? I wanna be there for that face to face meeting. I wouldn't wear glasses if I were you. I'm excited that we get him back, and hopefully, another year under Danny and Houston. This guy loves being a Hog.
Felix Jones – you got this one right, but you may want to tell him about the hurry up no huddle offense. Once again, don't wear the glasses. He is a stud. I'm so happy that Danny Nutt recruited him so hard. He told me this kid was gonna be special. Danny seems to have a pretty good eye for talent. Maybe someday he'll be a great assistant. Damn.
