Received a call from a friend who lives in Houston, and a big Rice fan. He and the wife want to come visit in October and go to the Southern Miss/ Rice game. He saw our team win over Rice last year, was very impressed and has been hearing about our stadium, facilities and new coach hire. Sometimes I forget about the tradition and greatness of Southern Miss and am quick to complain about decisions made that I don't agree with. It's good to get a reminder that our competitors have a high opinion of our school and our sports tradition, even the schools up north (over a few beers). I need to remember that next time when I start selling my school short.
