I have a question for all of those in the know and all that have picked us to lose to them. Arkansas St has been horrible the last few years, yet all are picking us to lose to them. Have they signed a ton of 4* and 5* players either from high school or from the portal. Butch Jones hasn't done well in coaching in the last stops where he has been. So what makes everyone think they are going to be so good?

Nine and Three was my post-spring training prediction. Now I will give a mid-year prediction as the roster is nearly settled for the year. I will make a final prediction following the Fall practice.

Defense: One big problem last year was our secondary, which gave up too many deep passes. Hall has concentrated on this problem and obtained several good players to remedy the situation. Provided the new editions can gel, this will be a strong point in the defense. The DL appears to be the strong point. The Linebacker position took a couple of big hits, but Hall has brought in some suitable replacements. I believe the defense will be in good shape.

Offense: How many years now has there been a mysterious QB situation? Well, this is another. Hall has two transfers Edwards and Wiles as well as two freshmen Crawford and Gonzalez. Other than transferring from good football programs Houston and Clemson, we know nothing about Edwards and Wiles (the latter was injured during the spring). One might think some light would be shed since they were both here for spring football but think again. The only thing we learned was “they are coming along” or some other trite phrase. Of course, the freshmen are freshmen and have a lot to learn. Thus, the mystery continues. It is most challenging to predict wins and losses not knowing anything about your QB.

The OL may be as good as it has been in years. Several returning starters and some newcomers could prove to be a huge asset.

“It’s hard to say what you’ve got ‘til you hit people and move people,” said Gregg. “The game is won in the trenches, and there ain’t no one-on-one pass rush in the trenches.”

just sayin

be satisfied with a 7-5 football season this year? The season will be a scheduled rough one but will we finish 7-5 or perhaps 8-4? We will face an almost-sure 2-game loss, making the 2 Alabama teams a must-win. Something we have not been victorious over in the past few years. I will be somewhat satisfied with a 7-5 because it is an improvement.

My wife and I went to lunch ydy at a small local restaurant in Vestavia Hills. I had a Southern Miss shirt on and a lady with her two children said to her son you don’t see that everyday. When ordering at the counter the guy who took our order said he attends MS College and loves Southern Miss. The lady with two children told me she was from Mobile and attended Southern Miss from 2003 - 2007 and loved it. An older man at another table told me he lived in Oak Grove for 10 years.

The Eagle Nation is everywhere!
