BINGO. Found out the other day that one of my wife’s cousins who went to UL and never set foot on campus in BR is buying 6 A&M tickets for the first time this year. I would love to believe otherwise, but this just seems like it will always be an A&M town. App and ODU don’t have powerhouse football programs to contend with in their own states. NIL will only swing things further in the favor of the P&G.
Baseball Example. A&M fans disrespect USM to the fullest and act like they will stroll in to Hattiesburg and destroy USM. A&M players admit to overlooking the Eagles. The Eagles win the regional. Today one of USM’s best pitchers hits the portal. #1 rumored destination: BR. It’s just too far beyond gone, IMO.
