Steelers coach Mike Tomlin gets it. He always has, he always will. It’s one of the reasons he’s never had a losing season, and why he’s so respected by his peers.

He knows what this game is about. It’s a business, one that requires the customers to be sufficiently motivated to devote their money, time, and emotion to the team. And that will sometimes cause fans to be upset when things aren’t going well.

Since Will Hall left. Let that sink in...

He walked off the field on crutches but Hall said he was fine this morning going through workouts.

The Golden Eagles look to improve in SBC opener...

Southern Miss never could get off the mat in a slow-burn loss to Tulane.

Wherefore art thou, Jocko?

Hall said in SBC Coach's Presser that he is out for the year and will redshirt.

In Stillwater no less. I know the Cowboys are down, but dang…

Currently, a thunderstorm is possible on Saturday afternoon, so you may want to take a poncho. I am guessing Tulane may bring a crowd a little larger than the regular opposition. I wonder how many fans we expect, considering the tremendous loss last Saturday? Tulane is favored by 12.5 to 13. Pratt is listed as a starter, but watching him on the sideline at the OM game, he still appeared to have a slight limp. In my fall prediction, I believe I picked this game as a win for USM, and I will not change my mind. I will be there.

We need change, what are your thoughts?

I have found it to be rather interesting and fun. He is always representing USM with some gear or talking about his time in Hattiesburg.

They are eating the game alive with commercials, running two sets, and missing almost an entire series before resuming.

IT'S TERRIBLE, NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

We are one day away from the game. Let's predict what will happen.....

Sometimes a coach just knows how to plan for a team or knows the other coach so well that their gameplan is always affective. I think Hall has an understanding of Fritz and what his teams want to accomplish. The gameplan by Southern Miss last season was to win in special teams and limit Tulane to yards between the 30's. This season could be much of the same.

Southern Miss-28 Tulane-24 The Bell stays in the Burg.

I was thinking about last year's game and why Southern Miss was able to march out of Yulman Stadium with a win and the bell. Here are the 3 keys I noticed in last season's game that must happen today.....

1. Win the turnover battle: Yeah, this one is low hanging fruit, but without the pick-6 last year it would habe been iffy if the Eagles win that game. Billy has to be careful at QB with the ball and not force things.

2. Win special teams: Block punts, field goals, returns are momentum changers. We saw it last season. Tulane is usually good on special teams but were beat in that area by USM last season.

3. Keep fighting: USM went down early but fought their way back last year. Being down early in this game means nothing. We have seen both teams jump out to early leads against each other and lose.

Do these and the Golden Eagles have a great shot a winning this game. Tulane is good, but last year's Green Wave team was much better.

what happened to him. He barely played or was a factor at all.

A matchup with the Green Wave is one of the biggest games yet in the Hall era.
