I have a bunch of stuff to do this evening so I won't be doing a game blog just updates.

Jaquelle Green was arrested for armed robbery! We are lucky on that miss

The first five weeks of CUSA play really set up for a quick start before a brutal couple of weeks where we play Rice and FAU back to back.

at Marshall (8-6, RPI 171)
vs UTSA (8-7, RPI 94)
at Charlotte (8-8, RPI 239)
vs MTSU (10-6, RPI 104)
at UAB (6-9, RPI 185)

When does it start?

Tancey Richardson of South Carolina has verbally committed to the Golden Eagles. 3 star athlete. Welcome aboard.

Southern Miss and Samford are moments away from first pitch on what may be the most beautiful day we have had for baseball so far this season.

split double header. Lose first game 6-5. Win second game 12-6 against Middle Tennessee.

My 2 cents,probably only worth 1 cent. When I have that problem, i check my internet speed & normally its slow, a problem with my server. Don't know why, but this happens more on Sunday than any other day. By the why I am not a computer expert.

Mostly about everyone anxious to get started. Zac Woodfin said that everyone was doing really well and he was excited to see some of the JC wide receivers. "Those guys have come in here and done things the right way. Ito Smith has had an unbelievable six or seven weeks of training and he's up to about 200 pounds where last year he played about 185 or 188."
I am also anxious to see what 2016 has in store for the Golden Eagles.

Southern Miss and Samford are getting ready to play a sort of soggy game at PTP:

I just saw where Hwy 589 toward has been crumbled up like a cookie from Munz's twittter. I also see were the water is nearly at Hwy 49 bridge. I can only assume that there have been people impacted, and replacing the roads can't be cheap. I knew it was bad when the NWS used purple in their graphics to describe the flooding where I had never seen that color in any of their graphics to describe a weather event.

We all heard these rumors pop up a few weeks back...

Last night I had a chance to talk with someone very close to Sadler and this is what I learned. Sadler was contacted by someone representing ASU (my source didn't give a name) to gauge his interest in the job. My source tells me that Sadler decline to discuss the opportunity.

My source, not Sadler, thinks that ASU may have some unknowns with their basketball situation similar to what Sadler walked into at Southern Miss.

So it looks like there wasn't any fire with that smoke.

Hope to make at least one.

I want to take a moment to apologize to Gulf Coast Eagle Fans.

I was scheduled to be the speaker for today's Eagle Club Luncheon in Gulfport. I completely forgot about it and did not make the trip to the coast.

I have no excuses, I have no reason for not making the trip, this is 100% on me as I just did not write it down or put it on my calendar.

I am very sorry and if given the opportunity I will make it up to ya'll in the future.

Southern Miss continues to extend their recruiting footprint under newly hired head coach Jay Hopson.

This past week the Eagles extended an offer to North Schuylkill (Ashland, PA) High standout linebacker Major Jordan.

Has the feel of a powder keg about to go off. Second half is going to be wide open.
So far, MT's defense has been phenomenal, yet ODU leads by 5. Freeman with multiple turnovers. 1-3-1 is killing ODU.

I see MT pulling away big late unless ODU can adjust. But MT has to loosen up and stop pressing on offense.

Very good game.

Southern Miss under newly hired head coach Jay Hopson continues to hit the Florida recruiting hard. One prospect that has turned up on their board is St. Augustine (FL) High standout defensive back JaCoby Feliciano.

The talented 6-foot-1, 197-pounder took time to talk recruiting with BigGoldNation.com.

WV newspaper reporting Fox will not bid on new CUSA TV contract. Could be a case of Fox having first refusal rights, like ESPN did in the last go round. I see that as a lack of interest, or at the very least we are not high on the Fox priority list. Fewer bidders only fuels a lower bid.

Also seems like we didn't actually earn the 14 million we were paid in 2013-14 from TV. Tax reports show we were only paid 10.44 million from our TV partners. With the gap being filled from departed CUSA programs.

Word is FOX did not even bid ( no verification yet).
This would effectually put our TV revenues at $0. ASN would be our primary (only?), but they don't pay anything as of yet.
So, instead of being cut in half, our contract would be exposure only with no money.
Already announced earlier the CBS was not bidding.

I know there have been a number of comments on this, but it made the the front page of the SunHerald this morning. Sorry for Jacquelle but now I'm ok that we didn't sign him. Wonder what makes kids do stuff like this?

Now for some (maybe) better news, depending on your point of view:

Happy reading!

Worried about friends and family.
May drive up tomorrow if weather and roads permit.
