got my five Eagle Perch seats, and am happy and surprised that an Eagle Club rep came by the house to talk about how much Southern Miss athletics appreciates the little that I have done over the past 35 years to help the athletic department. Really, I think it's great that the Eagle Club now has several reps that call members and make appointments to come by to visit and talk...about anything. A young man named Lee called and came by just to talk to me. I was so impressed, he left with a check in his hand. I even got the energy to make a phone call the next day and talked a friend into joining the Eagle Club. Guys, there is more energy now in Southern Miss athletics (and academics) then I've seen in a long time. I predict that we'll have a record number of E.C. members this year and growing.
