University of Texas players have a long list of demands that must be met. I can't believe that Texas would give in to any of these. I won't list them but some is renaming the stadium that is named for Darryl Royal for a ex black player from UT. Another is giving a percentage of the money made from football to black lives matter and building a building next to the football building for black history. And they must do away with the school song "The Eyes of Texas are Upon Us". And the head coach is all for it. I would tell them good bye and fire the coach and and start recruiting from a different angle. Clemson has already given in and renamed their honors school because they found the name insulting. I think everyone has gone bananas.

Per his twitter page. I think he will only have 1 year to date lay there. He believes this is what is best for him.

Will there be a split between semi-pro and amateur at that point?

I started school at Southern Miss in the fall of 1985 and became a big football fan. I went to every game I could. The 1985 and 1986 seasons were not the best. The 1987 season was exciting and uneven and introduced Brett Favre to the Eagle faithful. I was part of the small crowd at the game against Tulane at the Rock when Brett trotted on the field and started chunking the ball. Nobody in the crowd had any idea who the new qb was. Or how to pronounce his name. But I knew things had just changed. Brett would turn out to be a talented and frustrating qb to watch. He would do something dumb and then do something incredible.

I just checked a wiki for him and it says he started 7th on the depth chart and started 10 games his freshman season. He couldn't have started 10 games because he entered the second game of the season during the second half. I can't remember the qb he replaced and split time with the rest of the season.

The season record turned out to be 6-5 with wins over Tulane, Mississippi Sate, Jackson State, Memphis and East Carolina. A low point was a game with Texas A&M which was a loss and had a small crowd if memory serves. We played them and Mississippi State in Jackson. The Jackson State game was the first time one the D-1 schools played one of the D-1AA schools if I remember right. It was also the first time I saw the Sonic Boom play.

Jim Carmody didn't survive the 6-5 record and was let go after the season.

With athletes returning to the Hattiesburg campus June 1 for voluntary workouts, Southern Miss athletic director Jeremy McClain spoke to Big Gold Nation about navigating the ‘new normal’ COVID-19 presents.

I was reading the interview with the AD that Heath posted and had a thought. Maybe a dumb one but I know I can get help figuring that out. If we have football season and there are social distancing rules, what about having a social distanced season ticket sale. Let's say you can have about 10,000 people in the Rock. That leaves about 26,000 unsold seats. What about offering commemorative social distanced season tickets or ghost tickets so fans could support the program? Say $50 a ticket? In return you get a special commemorative ticket. Just a thought.

Man, I wish Nick Suss was our Clarion Ledger guy!

I figured there was not much chance there would be any summer leagues this year but there will be after all...

Has covid stopped all recruiting for football? It doesn't seem that Covid has effected basketball recruiting. We have zero football commitments for 2021and I haven't even heard about any recruiting. If FB coaches are recruiting, who are they going after? If any of you guys know anything about recruiting or have heard anything about recruiting please let us know.

Do any of you think it would be a good idea to start a petition to get the legislators to fund the athletic department?

Why the move? Who knows. What a crappy place to have a Tournament. Well guess we can go to Shreveport....

Just wondering.

I was already excited about seeing him play. Then it seemed like every other player who signed talked about being friends with Tae and how hard he pushed Southern Miss. Every indication is that he is a great ambassador for Southern Miss. Congrats to the coaches for getting him on board! Is it basketball season yet?

It is McNeese State centric but there is frequently good info about college sports in general on his site.
