The early to mid 1980's was a great time in Southern Miss sports. Both football and basketball had 2 young, up-and coming coaches with Bobby Collins and M.K. Turk. Yes, football had some great years, nearly going undefeated in 1981 and garnering a top 10 ranking, but it was basketball and the success that it was having that really did more for the university than football. in 1983 Southern Miss got an nite and became part of the Metro Conference in every sport but football (conference was not a football conference). Without Coach Turk, this would have never happened.
