Hudspeth deals with rumors

[Parrott]

Do Memphis and UAB really have more tradition in football than we do? UAB especially

The Cajuns will be making their first bowl trip since 1970 on Dec. 17 in the New Orleans Bowl. It will be their third bowl appearance (1943, 1970). The program has won seven conference titles (1952, 1965, 1968, 1970, 1993, 1994, 2005).

Memphis has some tradition with seven bowl appearances and six conference championships.

UAB has only played football since 1991 - the Blazers moved up to I-A in 1996 - and has played in one bowl game (and beat LSU in 2000).

Memphis and UAB face major obstacles to have sustained success, the biggest being that there's little interest and support from the local community. Both also need big facility upgrades.

So I think we can agree there are 4 open jobs (One isn't yet) that Hud may or may not be interested in. In what order would you rank them if you were coach Hud:

Louisiana
Memphis
Tulane
Ole Miss
Southern Miss

Ole miss
Southern miss
UL (cause he's here, obviously)
Tulane
Memphis

I really think Ole Miss is a non-issue. I think things are gonna get worse before they get better. A lot worse. And for a while.

Memphis? I think Southern Miss is a much better option. Do you want to rebuild Memphis from the ground up.

Tulane? How much institutional committment? It should be one of the sexiest jobs in the country, but, meh?

I think we're gonna be okay for a few years.

But I'm an eternal optimist. I'm one of them true-believers who think it's gonna be okay, just because. Just hope that includes Hud.

That'd be perfect in my opinion. I don't think he gets the nod at ole miss. Interview.. yeah.. but i doubt they take him. I doubt federoa goes to memphis. Why leave USM for that job. He has his hands on this program and can build it. Look at the players he has already. I bet there are a few big guys coming in as well.

Any idea what kind of raise he gets for the bowl game?

[Bandwagon King]

I'm thinking UL & USM should be in a tie. Those are the guys UL will have to "Protect their house from".

Ole miss

I hate to stir the pot on this topic even more but I was in the Lafayette airport this morning waiting for my 8:30 flight to Houston. While browsing the internet I saw Coach HUD walk by and sit down waiting to board a Continental flight. He was alone, dressed in a suit and heading out on a 7:55 flight to Houston.

I know this will lead to lots of speculation and honestly I was hoping he would be on my flight so I could see where his connecting flight was going. I'm hoping he was on a recruiting trip, NO Bowl event or something of that nature.

Dont get me wrong, this is interesting and all, but there's a key point we're missing:

We now have three duggies on this board! :-0

Houston is hopefully a good destination for us...but if the man is going interview for an SEC job...more power to him. If it's for Tulane...I'm going to set the Super Dome on fire.

Every time a new rumor starts, a new Duggie is born.

I want to make it clear that Duggie 85 and Duggie 82 are imposters and should be considered armed and dangerous!!!!! Duggie 85 has only been around this board since 2008 and Duggie 82 is a "Johnny come lately", having joined the party sometime today!!!!!

I (Duggie 35) am the original Duggie and all others should be approached with caution and taken with a grain of salt!!!! LOL!!!
