...guys but these things happen. Alot of football left and as I've heard said, its not how you run the race but how you finish.

I've enjoyed my visits here over the past few weeks and I've got to say again, great group of fans here.

Good luck the rest of the way.

You guys are awesome. I was impressed with the turnout yesterday and how down to earth your fans were. I was excited to see students come with faces painted etc. You are one of the few teams in the past few years I can say I would love to have back at The Rock next season. Your fans were an impressive turnout and the team seemed like some good guys except for No. 18 that flipped off the student section every time he walked by. I hope to see you all at another USM vs. Cajuns game somewhere down the road. Take it easy and stay away from Gustav.

_ Son, the game is over and your team won it and we now have a far more important matter looming in the "here and now". I'm sure the Auburn forum is eagerly anticipating your arrival there so why not head to it now.

Here's hoping So. Miss has a great 2008 season. _

I didn't see the Cajun game, but I kept up with it a tad on/line. To be honest, I didn't figure you guys to win, but I was surprised by the margin of the USM win.

Did you head to Fla from the game? Seems like we in for a blow. I have 7 people staying with me from the NO area, 2 cats, and 3 dogs. At least they didn't bring the snakes like last time.

Good luck to you.

  HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Damion Fletcher gave UL huge headaches in its season-opener on Saturday night.

The junior running back enjoyed a game to remember, although it was one the Ragin' Cajuns would rather forget after a 51-21 loss to Southern Miss before 32,792 at M.M. Roberts Stadium.

Fletcher, the preseason offensive player of the year in Conference USA, shredded UL's defense a career-high 222 yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries as the Golden Eagles won in Larry Fedora's head coaching debut.

"The O-line proved that they can get the job done," said Fletcher, who rushed for a program-record 1,586 yards last season. "I just ran hard and did the things we do in practice."

i only got to hear it on the radio but it sure seemed pretty damn bad on the defensive side of the ball esp. Illinois on deck OUCH ! ! !

as bad as it may seem, the 2nd string on the Cajuns defense is more concerning. I noticed once both teams switched to 2nd teams, Martavious Young Southern Miss' backup quarterback was almost pulling the lineman every time with an audible snap count. The Cajuns have the same problem in that respect that USM has had in the past of having a great talent differential between 1st and 2nd string.

For the 4th YEAR I SAY:

GET RID OF BUSTLE!!!

I wish I was wrong, but He has failed and will continue to fail!

That's Derrick Smith, our senior WR. Surprising that he showed a lack of class like that. Then again, it's hard to keep composure getting stomped.

Apparently you haven't followed Cajun football in the Bustle era. He is an embarrassment to our program. The only thing he has ever done is let Michael Vick takes snaps and run wild. He can't coach, he can't motivate, and he can't make commercials!

Congratulations and good luck to you guys the rest of the way.

So. Miss is a program we point to and ask our admin why not us? So far they haven't provided us any answers.
