Bally Sports had a nice interview with his dad and grandfather.

The conference schedule is out.

Which came first, so to speak the chicken or the egg. I was curious so I looked it up. App State stadium was built in 1962.USM's stadium was built and opened in Oct,1932 with wooden bleachers that held 4,000 cap.It was called Faulkner Field because L E Faulkner financed the project.In 1938 permeant concrete stands were built using football players help hauling concrete blocks and concrete , it was during this time it got the name The Rock because of the football players hauling the concrete blocks and concrete . So the real rock and the first was Southern Miss's. App State thinks theirs was the first but not so.

Haven’t posted because they hadn’t said anything publicly, but since they have now. Please say a prayer for our DC Austin Armstrong’s mother. She is in the hospital with Covid, won’t go into specifics but it isn’t good and they could use your prayers.

I look for victories over the following:

Liberty, in an upset. Our defense will rattle their QB early and often.
South Alabama and Troy. We owe them big time.
Georgia State.
Texas State
Arkansas State
ULM
Northwestern

Lose to:

Miami
Coastal Carolina
Louisianna
Tulane

Southern Miss tag # 755S1 from county 37 that was in Destin today and crossed the Mid Bay bridge. Your right brake light is out.

1. Keyes had a really good day at QB. Started out strong and finished strong as well.

2. The running game was clicking today. Goal line offense was strong and physical.

3. Defense was knocked on their heels early but settled in as the scrimmage went on.

4. Offense line run blocked well. They still have some protection issues to fix, but it is a much better group this season.

It may be easier to tell us who is not injured. We may be onto several games before Brownlee is back. The same with Baker.

I infer from Hall's comments that we are plagued with the same problems as last year. The QB is being rushed on every pass play because the OL can't pass protect. The QB can't complete passes. Tackling is not sharp. These problems should have been fixed by now. Rebuilding the OL was a must, but no account was taken. Finding a QB that could pass was also a must, but efforts to find one were abandoned. Believing non-productive status quo players were sufficient will cost us this year.

This is why my optimistic pre-season predictions have changed. We will be lucky to win 5 games.

They always get the first day of school off. Just wanted to explain why no report today.

There is a deal in the works between ESPN and The NFL Network over sublicensing some MAC and Sunbelt games.

They decided to give the guys a day off with the weather being an issue. We will be back to getting out practice reports tomorrow.

Coach Hall said it is and injury that will keep him out for a while. Will update on injury when we know more. Brownlee was jogging and walking the bleachers today. I have been told he had his knee scoped, but nothing official out of USM. He should be back in a week or two by Liberty gane.

Eagle 70, Tee and Carol, Fenn Fenn, Lamar Eagle and Melissa, Jackson County Eagle and Marcia, and David Eckert, USM beat writer for Hattiesburg American.

Hearing the name Sean Tindell (Mississippi Director of Public Safety) as the frontrunner from a number of different camps. One of those camps enlightened me on Bennett's Ouster/resignation... Apparently someone on the IHL soured on him after he nixed the Art Briles hire. All rumors of course.... but the Tindell talk comes from someone who would know who the frontrunner is. My other source that told me the same thing is three hours away and doesnt run in the same circles as the first.
