Was there- Great Tailgiaitng atmosphere. Southern Miss fans were great. Fans told me they wanted to kick our butts during game but after the game were with us in support for the Hurricane, and to be safe.
Would love to see a Home and Home with the Eagles.

Our team did not seem to ever get in a flow.The Hurricane had something to do with it but I thought no matter what their performance would be much better.

Fletcher move at the goal line should be on ESPN highlights. Great back.

Congrat to Ark State for taking care of business.

Dude, cut the crap, the Hurricane had nothing to do with it. We were out classed by superior personnel and in the coaching department. Dont use that excuse. Last time I checked, that Hurricane has a chance of roughing up Hattiesburg and the Gulf coast just as much as Lafayette and the coast of Louisiana.

What good is paying a head coach 500-750,000 if you are then left with no money to pay his assistants. Bustle's issues are the fact that he has bottom of the barrel coaches because he is paying the worst salaries in the FBS. High School coaches make more than our position coaches and in some cases more than our coordinators.

Dooley not only demanded his big salary but double the budget for his staff's salaries.

That is what we were faced with a year ago. Bowers total package was a little over 700K and his assistants budget was 800k. Bower wasnt about money as his family has a major oil distributorship in the Atlanta area.

Fedora's base is 800K with incentives that can push it over a mill. He asked for and got 1.2 mill for his assistants. If we can pony up that kind of cash at the same time as committing 33 mil for the stadium expansion, you guys can also with the oil money you have in the Laffy area. Neither of us have that nice welfare check from being in a bcs conference.

As far as administration goes. We had a president leave and refuse to deal with a growing base that was unsatisfied with the direction our program was headed under Jeff. The outgoaing pres left the new pres to make that decision just 6 months into her term.

Things were so bad here that we lost a 4 star juco recruit to Louisville who lived less than a mile and a half from our stadium. A kid who was qualified out of Hattiesburg high, that was recruited but never offered and coming out of prcc he was in his 2nd round of recruitment by Southern Miss. We lost him because Bower would not make an in home visit either time. He was ranked as the no 4 prospect in the country at corner by Rivals.

Its been fun this week. I hope we continue to play on a regular basis.

Our prayers are with you guys this week. I hope there is no loss of life, we have homeowners insurance for the non important stuff. Remimber we had that mad _____ Katrina just 3 years ago.

Oh yes the hurricane is the reason! Put down the kool aid!

"I thought their (USM's) backs ran really hard," UL coach Rickey Bustle. "We've just got to tackle better. We tackled worse as the game went on.

"I don't know if we got tired or what happened"

Does anyone on this staff have a clue, apparently the the HC does not????? Only 11 games to go.

You come to our board and post rediculous opinions about how great CUSA is and how spectacular USM is but the fact of the matter is that your CUSA mates have passed you guys up. Tulsa, UCF, Houston, Memphis, and ECU all have more name recognition and pespect than USM. Face it you guys are a respectable mid major, you are not world beater or anything close. Southern Mississippi must have some good mushrooms. Are we at the level of USM, no. But we are a lot closer than any of your fans are willing to admit.

How close are you??? I went back and read this thread again this afternoon. A lot of mouthing by some Cajun fans that was just flat out wrong. Either somebody is feeding you guys nonsense about your football team or you just can't face reality.
Zeebart, Just1More and a few others, I hope you see reality now.

_ We very well may have shown that we have the worst defense in the country tonight. I bought the game on the internet and I think Bustle and the defense combined should have to reimburse everyone that paid to get the stream. I know it was the first game but the defense looked far worse than any defense I have ever seen wearing a Cajun uni. _

We are running the spread defense. No running to the football and no gang tackling.

Cajun fans have a strong grip on reality so run along now, the game is over. The Auburn people are expecting your arrival over at their forum.

Good luck to So Miss football next week and the rest of the season.

Remember to tell your AD and your fellow members on the So Miss scheduling committee that we could likely do a home and home series with you.
