Outta south Alabama comes the "Country Boys"

Well outta south Alabama come the country boys with plow shears in hand. They are ready to plant victory seeds at Carlisle-Faulkner field; however, the Golden Eagle will have something to say about that. South Alabama will spend the evening dodging bombs from a relentless Eagle air assault. The final result of the game will not be a pretty one for the Country Boys.

Loser South Alabama

Take it away, Percy.

I went to the Eagle Club Luncheon in Jackson Thursday

It was really nice to relax and talk Southern Miss football and stuff. The meeting was in Fitzgerald's lounge area in the Hilton lobby. There was a buffet in the restaurant next door with fried chicken, baked chicken and veggies. Drinks were in the lounge area. The speaker was Brian Morrison by zoom. The food and company were good. The 2011 C-USA Championship game was playing on the screen while everyone arrived and ate. I haven't seen that game since 2011. I looked and it is on youtube. I've got to finish the game. Good memories!

It seemed like a good crowd of maybe 20 fans. Cards were provided to ask questions of Brian. The explanation of why we moved the La Tech game was interesting. There is so much uncertainty about how things will go for the home football games and they thought it would be nice to have more time to make any changes before the next game. La Tech had an opportunity to get a game they wanted for the date we had.

There were information sheets for Heath's gofundme on each table.

Fall Camp Scrimmage #2 Report: Offense Is Better And Potential Starters

In the first scrimmage of Fall Camp the Golden Eagle defense seemed to hold the upper hand. Saturday night during the team's second scrimmage the offense rebounded and seemed, by all accounts, to have a much better scrimmage than the defense. This is a really good sign as the new OC Matt Kubik has inherited a really tough situation. Let's not forget that Kubik did not get a chance to implement his system until the Eagles started Fall Camp. Who is going to play and where? Who could have a standout or breakout year? Let's look at what the Golden Eagles may look like on offense when they host South Alabama on September 3rd.
