Finished in third place after being picked last. Made the trip to Denton with LamarEagle and his wife.tiring but had a great time. I love their campus and facilities,all first class.cudos UNT for. A well run tourney.

For his little league team. Won the last game with a home run. Now pitching in the 9th inning for his team. Turk is the grandson of M.K. Turk. He is 9 years old.

I imagine Southern Miss will have to do something similar:

If we get (2) wins from FIU we win championship with 22 wins. Rice and Marshall can win no more than 22 and we have the tiebreaker with each of them. FAU can win no more than 21.

D1 ranks us #17.

JCJC will be hosting a Travel Camp for South Carolina and your favorite former Eagle Coach Ellis Johonson.

As rare as Southern Miss home games vs SEC opponents are, true road games by Kentucky vs anyone other than Louisville or Indiana are even more rare.

whew !!!!!!!

Three-star OL prospect Hunter Brannon from Cullman (AL) High has long one been one of Southern Miss' top priorities on the offensive line. Recently the offers have been piling up for Brannon and the competition getting even stiffer for the Eagles.

Are the Eagles still in good shape with Brannon? That's the question we asked on Sunday afternoon.

They have bounced back all year and did again this weekend, down a game and 3-0 on Saturday, it looked bleak. But they kept grinding.

Getting close to reaching a lot of goals.

FAU-4
Rice-1

Completing last night's game.

If I researched the right kid, 6'2" 225lb transfer from Hinds CC.

Had over a 4 era there and was mostly a reliever.

Has moved into starting rotation at Tech and thrown 2 complete games.
55 innings, 40 something Ks, 40 something hits, about 15 BBs, couple of hit batters, only 8 earned runs.

Their pitching coach (former PRCC coach I think) obviously recognized a diamond in the rough and has done a great job of developing him.

We need to make him throw a lot of pitches and get him out of game early. Doesn't appear to be a strike out pitcher but doesn't give out many free passes.
Probably as good as most Friday guys we have faced. May have a chip on his shoulder if we did not offer him.

Huge game for lots of reasons.

Just joined BGN...Originally from Delta area...Graduated SMiss in '75 and then grad school 79-80..Season tic holder in football and baseball.. Upper level Eagle Club donor.. Live in Moselle area..Know Greenwood well..Looking forward to stirring it up with ya'll...Gotta win today!!!

Ok lets speculate for a moment that the Big 12 raids the AAC and takes two of their big market teams.

For the sake of this conversation lets say that they take Memphis and Cincinnati.

I think that there some logic that a newly formed league of the teams from the AAC and C-USA that are the most geographically clumped together to form a league.

There is only a matter of time before the ACC comes for UConn.

Would this be a better arrangement be a new league that looks something like this?

East Division

East Carolina
Charlotte
UCF
USF
FAU
MTSU
WKU

West Division

Houston
SMU
La Tech
Southern Miss
ULL
Tulane
Rice

Take into account travel costs, ability to build real rivalries and gain some real traction.

Betting lines for week one. We are a 7.5 pt dog to the cats

I saw this story about TV money and how it's going to lead to another round of conference realignment and thought it was pretty interesting, if long. It predicts a bunch more shuffling and consolidation with a several programs getting the boot from major conferences in favor of schools in bigger TV markets (like Cincinnati, Memphis, maybe San Diego State). Has some crazy predictions too, but a lot of it does make sense and it's the offseason so I thought I'd share it.

If so send me an email at BigGoldNation@yahoo.com. I need a back glass for my truck and I want to do business with someone who does business with me before I call anyone else.

At least for the moment, Warren Nolan has our RPI at 15. Started the day at 18.

Southern Miss recently extended an offer to Mobile (AL) Christian ATH Troy Young. In this exclusive interview with BigGoldNation.com he updates his recruitment and talks about his interest in the Golden Eagles.

Young, who plays both defensive back and running back for Mobile Christian is piling up the offers holding just short of a dozen FBS bids.
