There are no hotels close to the stadium. Most of the motels are west of where I59 and US98 intersect.
I might suggest staying at motels on Hwy 49 north. The Comfort Inn is a good location. You might search Choicehotels.com for availability. There is a Quality Inn north of there on 49 north also.
Hillcrest dorm is on the frontage road just north of 4th street. That is the street north of campus.
I hope all you Cajuns have a safe and great visit to Hattiesburg.
I think you're going to be disappointed. In you last 5 attempts against us, you've lost by an average score of 8-48. I just can't see anything that would lead to a different result this year. Bower's conservative offenses put up 50 points on you guys. It's hard to imagine what this new and improved offense will do. USM just has too much talent compared to ULL.
I remember seeing it in another post but couldn't find it...can anyone please give me some info on the parking situation at USM?
Bower's offense was also good enough to get them in bowl games almost every year and a few conference titles. But most importantly, our team now is light years ahead of the teams we had back then based off our key players. Your head coach is making his debut, along with your starting quarterback. Not to mention, your "young" defense is going to be put to the test against a team who was fourth in the nation in rushing last season. Houston fans were saying the same exact thing in 2006 of how they've beaten us in the past, or how Kevin Kolb and Co. were going to throw all over our secondary. Not only did we come from a 21 pt deficit to win at their place, our offense ran it down their throats to where their d-lineman were on one knee trying not to pass out before we scored the winning TD. AND DIDN'T THAT SAME HOUSTON TEAM BEAT SOMEONE FOR THE CUSA TITLE??? All I am saying is that it's the first game of the season and anything can happen.
So winning 3 games is light years ahead of where you used to be? Ummmmm, okay. If you're expecting us to come out slinging, and see our young QB falter, then you don't know much about Fedora's offense or USM's team. Fedora runs a very balanced offense. We have one of the premier running backs in the nation, and ULaLa has one of the worst rush defenses in the nation. I'm sure that Fedora is aware of that and will be using our running game extensively. That, in turn, will keep your offense on the sideline.
Once again, it's the first game of the season. We will all see come Saturday. I still think it's a little rediculous that all these Southern fans are talking as if their team won a BCS title by a coach who hasn't even coached a game yet or a quarterback who hasn't seen the field.
HAD one of the worst in 2007. Yep. Can't deny that.
But past performance is not indicative of future results, or at least thats what every financial prospectus and broker will tell you (as they are robbing you blind).
How's you run defense? I believe it will be Mr. Fenroy who will be keeping your offense on the sidelines. But that's just me.
I like the fact that Hillcrest is listed as "Upper Class Female Dormatory", however, it looks kinda away from the stadium. Its N of the stadium just past the train tracks..

Don't know if this helps you...
I just found the PDF of the campus here:

Also, I google mapped Las Hattiesburg. It gave me an idea on my approach....

Don't underestimate a highly motivated opponent.
McNeese had a 20 year old grudge to stew over us and they played like it.
We didn't.
But for the record... and I hate to say it because many of their fans are a s s h o l e s...I'm pretty sure McNeese would have whipped your tail last year too.
