The Book: 2003 Football

My wife and I will be making our first trip to USM this weekend. We're expecting to have a lot of fun. The Cajuns are a very young team, but are improving greatly with each week. We may be a little more competitive than what you seem to be thinking.
Tell us what it will take to get into a conference with you guys....

:confused:

Several items hurt our attendance...

1-7 record
Predictions of a downpour
4:00 start time
World Series game 7 on the tube
LSU playing at home

If we were 7-1, the other 4 would not matter that much.......

Our program is deteriorating rapidly.
Just stand pat and we may wind up joining you in the Sun Belt.
If ULaLa wants to get into a better conference...just win all your games for about five years in a row.

When are you coming to Hattiesburg?
Are you staying overnight?
We have no Prejeans...but we have Leatha's and we have a couple of pretty good restaurants.
Try to get the to stadium an hour or so before the game so you can see how we tailgate.
It is a great party.

i was one of the 9213.. one of the "blessed" to remember to bring my radio .. (smiling)

easily one of the top 5 .. as far as "home games" go in the last 6 years of the program..

I heard that the students were boycotting the game because the University has enforced a twenty dollar parking fee at frat row per semester. The absence of the students were evident at the game as well as at the tailgating. The attendance was very disapointing but it was a good game. Lets go for three in a row.

Anyone know how many fans we are bringing?



Come on Cajuns three in a row.

Don't read the Rivals board and think you are getting an indication of how Southern Miss fans feel about the program.
Most Southern Miss fans are ready for dramatic improvement in the coaching staff, but those fans are not allowed to post on the Rivals board.
USM's head coach directed the owner of the board to ban posters who want the program to develop and succeed and the board owner agreed to do it.
The owner and monitor/censors of the Rivals board habitually lie about their "rules" and "policies."
With that in mind, you can see one side of the USM picture by viewing the Rivals board.
Enjoy it!

That is the beauty of the internet. People can choose where they want to go and what they want to talk about.

As the Associate Editor of EagleTalk.net I would like to personnelly invite all Cajun Fans to ET for discussion of the upcomming game. I think that you will find that you will be treated with the utmost respect on ET and that you will enjoy coversering with our many members. Due to certain circumstance that I think you may already be aware of ET is a premission only board. But just take a few minutes to go through the process and you will likely be approved within a couple of hours.

I am sure that I (as well as EagleTalk) will be slandered and talked about in the most nasty ways that you can imagin, by individuals that claim allengence to Southern Miss. All I can say is reserve you opinion until you visit ET and talk with the members there. I think that you will find that everyone is free to voice opinions, but we just don't allow adgendas of personnel distruction towards anyone.

In the coming week you may see some interesting posts on your board by USM fans.
The post above is written by one of the Rivals board censors.
If you want to get enjoy the exchanges, just pay close attention to and consider carefully this paragraph from the Rivals Board censor: "I am sure that I (as well as EagleTalk) will be slandered and talked about in the most nasty ways that you can imagin, by individuals that claim allengence to Southern Miss. All I can say is reserve you opinion until you visit ET and talk with the members there. I think that you will find that everyone is free to voice opinions, but we just don't allow adgendas of personnel distruction towards anyone."
First of all, the spelling is obviously not quite at the level of post high school scholarship which is an indication of the way things might go.
Second, consider the self-cancelling statement about the freedom to "voice opinions" while forbidding posts by people with "adgendas of personnel distruction" (LOL - I can't stop laughing, but you get the idea). The people with "adgendas" are people with whom the censor disagrees.
Third, you will be able to see for yourself which posters intitate "slander" (LOL - I think he means libel).
And fourth, which USM posters have a true allegiance to the University of Southern Mississippi and which posters have an allegiance to our Head Football coach at the expense of the University.
Enjoy.
