I'm looking forward to Louisiana coming to The Rock this fall! Y'all are a class act and I always enjoy our athletic meetings. Wish we could work things out and make basketball and baseball a regular thing as well.

Southern Miss Alum, do you think most USM fans feel the same way as you? If not what are their thoughts on our program (overall)?

Do you use EaglePost.net?

I occasionally use EaglePost, but I spend more of my time on EagleTalk (our Rivals site). That's where the majority of our traffic goes - unfortunately, that means that's where the majority of our AHs go too. Still, I try to weed through their garbage because the most updated info is also posted there.

Now, about your real question...

Of course, opinion varies widely, from the "you're not worthy" to the "you are equal", as you would expect with any large group. To be honest, the thought of UL as a member of C-USA - I don't think it's really entered the minds of too many people. I don't think it's a slam, but a lot of people are looking in a different direction - for instance, I've heard a lot of mention about maybe snatching up West Virginia and Virginia Tech if/when the oft-rumored Big East blowup takes place.

In terms of non-conference opponents; you have your share that fuss about it, because you're not Nebraska or Texas A&M (of course, we're not either, but that's beside the point). Overall though, I think people enjoy the series in all sports and would like to see it continued. From a football standpoint, I do think that there are a lot of people that aren't too crazy about you coming to The Rock - the trip to Lafayette is much too fun to pass up, and they'd rather play you at your place!
