I will try and get a summary of everything he says out asap. Also if I can, because of new site format, I may be able to upload the video of the Presser on here. Either way I will get out content from it.

Would he be interested in USM? He has been at Arkansas State a long time & has had some success there.

Is it to early???

What about Coach Dunn, OC at Oklahoma State? Has USM connections.

As of right now, the game at Southern Miss will be the season opener for Louisiana Tech.

Just got some more info. Hop supposedly started this conversation with the administration. He was just miserable. He felt that he was having to fight with everyone for everything. Dealing with the death of his dad has been tough on him. He wanted out. He got some of the buyout, but not all of it. (Not sure the numbers on the buyout)

Parking passes?

Got my EC Stickers.
Got my EC cards.
Got my EC letter recognizing my donation and thanking me.

Guess what is missing?

Are they not doing them?

Remember when State lost to us and went on to win out? Not going to say we will do likewise but I do think we will be able to win 6 games this year. In order to do that, we need another play-caller. We can't waste a down every series by running the ball up the middle. Our strength is passing so do so. Tackling seems to be a great urgency. as we can see. You can't hit guys in the backfield and then let him gain 6 or 7 yards. Shore this up and we can stop the opposing offense. A lot of the long pass completions they mad were just lucky completions. The guy looked like Bart Star in spite of what I thought was a fairly good pass rush. I am going down to the LaTech game, I will be the only one in section H so stop by and say hello.

At the risk of being accused of "blaming the fans" I want to challenges some.

I'm going to call tomorrow to see if I can up my commitment $250. It isn't much, alone. I'm also going to see about why they haven't sent my parking pass yet.

IF enough of us do that, or possibly more, the school could actually see some commitment and a push to get better on our budget.

It's a small thing. It could grow IF enough did it. It might spur the big boys to do as little more.

At the least it should get me my parking pass.

Looks like it will be tomorrow

tomorrow morning. Stay tuned and we will try and keep everyone update as the morning rolls along.

Sitting here watching Blake Anderson and the AR State offense thinking about what could have been.

I know this was recorded around 12:00 noon Hattiesburg time today but I am wondering if there was be any foreshadowing of what happened later. I am using the Y104 link. It has started off with the AD and John Cox with no mention of Hopson.

Lack of realism in the future of the OL. He depended on the kids on the roster to develop into good players and he was wrong.

Lacked the ability to motivate the players.

Lacked the ability to place people in the stands

Failure to maintain team discipline

Failure to adjust at halftime.

Failure to diversify the offense and display imagination.

He is a good guy, and I wish him well.

Here you go, look for 2 popular candidates to be Tulane OC Will Hall and Memphis OC Kevin Johns

or not?

Whats the word? Perfect time. Bye Week, f'kd up season anyway, early enough to stop the bleeding. Get him out!

Did a 12 O’clock News Conference occur?

Is public invited?
