Anyone have any info on how I join the Dugout club for Baseball? Thanks

Just saw on Twitter PRCC QB Dustin Allison has committed to USM. The article reads

“Allison just wrapped up his redshirt freshman season at PRCC where he played in just six games in 2021. He struggled a bit with just two touchdowns to eight picks, but the raw talent has always been there for the former Pass Christian Pirate as one of the state’s top five passers when he was a senior on that record-setting 2019 team. He will be in Hattiesburg in January”

After reading this, I’m scratching my head and am concerned.

....this but we rank dead last in Offensive stats in the FBS. Last!

Due to some complications I am having with my amputation, I will be headed down to Oschner in New Orleans next week for test and a medical work-up. You all have been so kind to email, text, call, and DM me asking how I am doing. Hopefully, this will get some questions answered. Thanks to everyone for you prayers and support. I love doing this job and it is the main thing that has helped me keep going through this. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend...

P.S. HOW BOUT THEM BRAVES!!!!

The Golden Eagles men’s basketball season opens Tuesday at 7 p.m. as Southern Miss plays host to crosstown rival William Carey in the inaugural Mayor’s Cup.

Just noticed Greenville Christian WR Christopher Bell just decommitted. My question is WHY would he tag Coach Hall in his decommitment post?


Hate the young man came to this decision and really hope he reconsiders. He could have really made a difference at USM as one one of, if not THE top WR. Anybody have any idea what his reason is for decommitting?

I get that USM is struggling and the talent level is down. Yes UNT was moving the ball in the 1st half but they were down 14-7. USM moved the ball early and then it did nothing the rest of the game. What I want to know is: What adjustments, if any, were made at the half? UNT did not come out in the 2nd half and change things up. Why would they, they just needed to continue what they were doing. USM made little if no adjustments on either side of the ball.

We are all aware that the talent level on this team is not where it needs to be. It is going to take an overhaul of the current roster to get this team where it can start winning games. With that said, I think Hall is making those tough decisions. The team next season will see a 35% overhaul from this season's roster. With 14 spots already filled, the remainder will be filled with JUCO and Portal. 30 new players with 15 being JUCO will help next season. (Give or take 1 or 2) The question will be how many of these will be here for the Spring. So with 30 new players and then getting the 2021 signees we haven't seen play yet, 1/2 of the team in the Spring will be virtually new. Will that help? It remains to be seen, but overhauling this roster is a start.

Just a statement.

...did it take SMU to overcome the death penalty? Whatever it was, we will take as long to rebuild this program. I'm guessing 7-8 more years and a couple more hc's. It will take 5 years just to get de-stigmatized.

The highlights are included in the article.

They will compte for the 2023 season:
Sam Houston State
Jacksonville State
Liberty
New Mexico State

I can feel how excited La Tech, FIU, and UTEP is over this. Thank God USM is getting out of this circus.

We shall see. SMTTT

1. The offense was not good. There is room to improve and it does help to have actual point guards. However, if they continue to miss open shots this team will not win many games.
2. This team is much deeper. Ladner was able to play 10 guys last night and the case can be made that the 2nd group that subbed in was somewhat better than the starters. Ladner will continue to tinker with the starting 5 until he gets a group that he likes.
3. Pinkney is better off he bench. He shot the ball much better and was active on defense. 20 points is a nice night. He was 4-6 behind the arch.
4. Bolden was a suprise. He ran things well at the point and can make open shots. Like any Freshman, he will have his ups and downs but he has a presence that you don't see from many Freshmen.
5. Stevenson struggled to shoot the ball. He is a slow starter. This season he will need to pick it up because Ladner has guys who can fill his role with depth on the bench.
6. I am interested to see how much improvement can be made from game 1 to game 2.
7. Moore gives this team athleticism in the paint that Ladner has not had since he got here. At 6'10, he is quick and can jump out of the gym. He will have problems with bigger guys in the post but there aren't too many of those in C-USA.
8. Pierre is streaky, if he makes 2 in a row, keep feeding him until he misses.
9. No one played over 26 min last night. Last season, some guys were playing 35 plus minutes and were wore down by the end.

Even though it wasn't pretty it was a win and there were glimpses of what this team might be. There were times the Eagles would get up by 8 or 10 then allow DSU to get back in the game. That will have to get better.

Seth Littrell's Mean Green stand in second to last place in the CUSA West, above only Southern Miss. Littrell was once thought of as one of the rising stars in the D1 HC ranks, but is standing on his last leg in Denton. Since Mason Fine graduated (after playing what felt like 14 years for UNT), Littrell's teams have taken a step off the proverbial cliff.

As far as common opponents go, the Green's lone conference win came last weekend in the form of a 30-24 win at Rice. UAB bludgeoned UNT in a similar way as they did the Golden Eagles - 40-6.

North Texas is not a good football team, to say the least. The trouble is, and I don't need to educate the board on this one, neither is Southern Miss. This appears to the first of 2 games left on the schedule that are winnable for Hall & Co.

Here's how I look at it. Lose to North Texas today, and the Golden Eagles likely will head into the offseason 1-11. Road matchups vs. a top 20 UTSA and a mediocre Louisiana Tech will likely be a pair of losses. At this point, Southern Miss would come back to MM Roberts to face an awful FIU group in the final game of the season on Thanksgiving weekend. The home crowd will be sparse and confidence won't be able to found anywhere on the football field that day.

Could Southern Miss lose today and find one more win in the final three? Sure. But another ding in the failing armor at this point will make it all that more difficult to get back in the win column in 2021.

On the other hand, a win today would go a long way. North Texas is average to below average on the offensive and defense line, but do have some skill guys who can hurt the Southern Miss defense. The Mean Green defense has given up an average of about 37 points per game in their most recent six games. This is a chance for the Southern Miss offense to find some breakthrough and give itself a chance to win at the end of the ballgame.

The key today is avoiding the big mistakes - punt blocks, turnovers, breakdowns in the secondary, basically everything we saw against MTSU that kept USM out of the game in the end.

Another factor that I'll be looking for is at the quarterback position. Sure, the depth at QB is as scarce as Coors Light in a teetotaler's fridge, but having one quarterback playing the majority (or all) of the game would go a long way in building some consistency all the way around.

Celebrating the 2011 CUSA championship in front of the last non-holiday home crowd, not to mention more great weather in Hattiesburg, gives this battered version of Southern Miss football an opportunity to grab some positive momentum in the final stretch. It's not the last such opportunity, but it could be the best one Southern Miss has before hitting the road for two tough contests.

1. How do the young Eagles play. We will see many more Freshman play than normal. This season is a wash, it is time to scuff the tires in preparation for 2022 and beyond. We will know how good of a recruiter Hall and his staff are by the end of the season.

2. If they play well, the chances of the Eagles winning against FIU will be really good. UNT has played teams tough, a win tomorrow will be tough. However, FIU at the end of the season is a winnable game.

It will be great to see Fedora and the guys at The Rock tomorrow. What a team that was and what a bad job Elloss did the next year.
