Southern Miss and Samford are getting ready to play a sort of soggy game at PTP:

I just saw where Hwy 589 toward has been crumbled up like a cookie from Munz's twittter. I also see were the water is nearly at Hwy 49 bridge. I can only assume that there have been people impacted, and replacing the roads can't be cheap. I knew it was bad when the NWS used purple in their graphics to describe the flooding where I had never seen that color in any of their graphics to describe a weather event.

We all heard these rumors pop up a few weeks back...

Last night I had a chance to talk with someone very close to Sadler and this is what I learned. Sadler was contacted by someone representing ASU (my source didn't give a name) to gauge his interest in the job. My source tells me that Sadler decline to discuss the opportunity.

My source, not Sadler, thinks that ASU may have some unknowns with their basketball situation similar to what Sadler walked into at Southern Miss.

So it looks like there wasn't any fire with that smoke.

Hope to make at least one.

I want to take a moment to apologize to Gulf Coast Eagle Fans.

I was scheduled to be the speaker for today's Eagle Club Luncheon in Gulfport. I completely forgot about it and did not make the trip to the coast.

I have no excuses, I have no reason for not making the trip, this is 100% on me as I just did not write it down or put it on my calendar.

I am very sorry and if given the opportunity I will make it up to ya'll in the future.

Southern Miss continues to extend their recruiting footprint under newly hired head coach Jay Hopson.

This past week the Eagles extended an offer to North Schuylkill (Ashland, PA) High standout linebacker Major Jordan.

Has the feel of a powder keg about to go off. Second half is going to be wide open.
So far, MT's defense has been phenomenal, yet ODU leads by 5. Freeman with multiple turnovers. 1-3-1 is killing ODU.

I see MT pulling away big late unless ODU can adjust. But MT has to loosen up and stop pressing on offense.

Very good game.

Southern Miss under newly hired head coach Jay Hopson continues to hit the Florida recruiting hard. One prospect that has turned up on their board is St. Augustine (FL) High standout defensive back JaCoby Feliciano.

The talented 6-foot-1, 197-pounder took time to talk recruiting with BigGoldNation.com.

WV newspaper reporting Fox will not bid on new CUSA TV contract. Could be a case of Fox having first refusal rights, like ESPN did in the last go round. I see that as a lack of interest, or at the very least we are not high on the Fox priority list. Fewer bidders only fuels a lower bid.

Also seems like we didn't actually earn the 14 million we were paid in 2013-14 from TV. Tax reports show we were only paid 10.44 million from our TV partners. With the gap being filled from departed CUSA programs.

Word is FOX did not even bid ( no verification yet).
This would effectually put our TV revenues at $0. ASN would be our primary (only?), but they don't pay anything as of yet.
So, instead of being cut in half, our contract would be exposure only with no money.
Already announced earlier the CBS was not bidding.

I know there have been a number of comments on this, but it made the the front page of the SunHerald this morning. Sorry for Jacquelle but now I'm ok that we didn't sign him. Wonder what makes kids do stuff like this?

Now for some (maybe) better news, depending on your point of view:

Happy reading!

Worried about friends and family.
May drive up tomorrow if weather and roads permit.

Southern Miss QB signee Keon Howard and his 26-5 Laurel Golden Tornadoes play rival Wayne County War Eagles 22-9 for the 5A State basketball championship tonite at the Big House! Other notable players are for Laurel is Ole Miss TE signee Octavious Cooley. Also the head basketball coach for Laurel played at Southern Miss in the mid 1990's in Marcus Price! Coach Marcus Price is the son of retired South Jones head basketball Coach Casey Price! Casey Price was the first African American scholarship basketball player at Southern Miss in the early 1970's! Lot of USM connections tonite in the Big House! Go Naders!!!

Marshall locked in an epic battle with Brown University. Tied 2-2 headed to the bottom of the 16th inning. Marshall hasn't had a hit since a two-run homerun tied the game in the bottom of the 7th.

How would you evaluate the season so far? Samantha Robles looks to be our best pitcher, true? What do you think the prospects for the season are?

Thanks for any insight!

I'd say we dodged a bullet here.

Just how did UTSA wind up with these two Mississippians? I remember some about Mcnair(***) but nothing about green(****)

Those two are the only players SA got above a 2**

Is the new Wide Receivers Coach at Austin Peay

....we gave up 7 un-earned runs on 4 errors. Not acceptable. During the Berry tenure, there has been recurring themes of bad fielding and base running. When will there be accountability?

So looks like I have some roof damage thanks to this lovely storm. Dealing with several leaks due to what appears to be the vent cap coming off on one section. Anyone have suggestions for a good roofer? Obviously much prefer a USM supporter, but the best would be someone who might actually be able to fix it today in all this crap (yeah I know, looking for superman).

framing something very large in his field near Hattiesburg....Should we be alarmed here?

I thought we signed him, but I must have missed something because he's not listed as signed or committed. Grades??

Anyway. There's this....

I just heard on the radio that MO's enrolment is down over 1,500 students since their (sensitivity) riots of a few months ago...said they will be short millions $$ in revenue as a result. An all around, total PR failure.

There's probably a good lesson for other universities in that .
