@‌EagleTime I think you are misunderstanding Mr. @‌Quoner's post.

What we just "endured" was our coach, QB, and others in AD returning home to Iowa.  We got to hear all about their glory days in Iowa City and how great Iowa (of all places) is.  That is the slap-assery and memories and those are who he meant by "people".  Not our fans, our coach, QB and other Iowans.

Now, we have another homecoming for our Athletic Director, his marketing guy, and his marketing guy's marketing guy.  There's a whole branch of the organizational chart that is from USM. Those are the people he would like stories of for the slideshow.

I'm sure your fans are great, I would love to be there myself to get a feel of your tailgating environment. 

 

 

Thanks for the clarification MeanGreenD.  That makes sense.  I am sure you have enough folks around their with Southern Miss ties to keep you entertained for days....whether you want it or not!!  LOL

I really hope you guys do well and turn things around (after Saturday).  We need CUSA to be the best non p-5 conference.  If you follow the AAC, they are not strong.  While CUSA is not that strong right now, we have a group of teams with tremendous potential.  You guys can be very strong.  You have the size, location, and resources to be a power in this conference.  Believe it or not, Old Dominion and the 2 Florida FU schools will be getting strong also.  The AAC, in my opinion, is not a better football conference than us now, and we have not nearly reached our potential.  The new conference programs haven't even began to mature

Didn't want this post to be something you had to endure.  Thought maybe if you had people coming in they would want to know where to go and what to do.

Truth is....you guys have kicked our a** and we have kicked yours.  Someone will get an a**kicking Saturday night.  That does not make us personal enemies.

So, Mr. EagleTime, since we just endured a week of memories and slap-assery with our Iowa-connected folks, would you mind sharing your favorite memories of our people in Hattiesburg? I'm hoping I can work with @aztecskin to turn it all into a slideshow post for MGN.

Southern Miss is a great campus for tailgating and Hattiesburg is a great pace to visit for a game.  We treat opposing fans with dignity and respect, and try to make them feel at home when they visit.

I don't have any stories about your people in Hattiesburg...  I guess you will have to get pics and stories of ya'll slapping each others ass to find something for your slide show.

I really believe you are not representative of the Mean Green fanbase.....

You have to admit.... THAT WAS FUNNY RIGHT THERE!!

[Southern Miss Travel]

I have one. Is there a black hole or something than can keep RV in Hattiesburg? 

We hope we found one in Denton....

Is JJ Muggs still open?

No, but we have some nice local watering holes and restaurants.

[Southern Miss Travel]

So... No questions about Hattiesburg?

Wow!  What are the chances of us seeing your number 2 guy?  I saw that mentioned.

Our 2 is more athletic than our 1, but doesn't have as good a handle on the offense.  He is a better runner and has a stronger, but slightly less accurate arm.  Our 2 transferred from TCU and sat out last year.

We have lots of transfers.

I saw where someone posted about our performance against a running quarterback.  I am interested in seeing how we defend if McNulty isn't a runner.  We have been playing more of a contain in the pocket and try to hurry the throw type pressure defense.  Everyone we have faced has been very dangerous when flushed out of the pocket.  I really don't know what we have defensively against a non-running QB.

This game will be interesting.  We can score....but we haven't stopped anyone yet. (I am excluding Austin Peay in all comparisons)

EagleMBA I didn't take it that way at all.  I appreciate your comments though.  Like I said, we have been there recently.  Actually, the past three years. I believe you have to be there to understand.

This is the first time in quite a while that we can enter games expecting a good outcome.  We actually have hope, and an expectation, for a winning season this year.  I will be the first to admit that we were spoiled.  We thought winning was easy.  I have been around the program over 30 years and I will never take a 7 - 5 record and a lower bowl appearance for granted again.

We are 5 - 4 all time versus you guys.  The largest margin of victory for us was 26 - 0 in 1955.  The largest for the Mean Green was 55 - 14 in 2013.

Fallen Oak is a tremendous track....  Sounds like you have it all worked out.  Might want to look at Mary Mahoney's for a meal.  It is across from the Beau.  Easily a five star.  Great seafood.

You can breathe a little easier.... We don't have a Jimmy Johns in Hattiesburg

 

[Southern Miss Travel]

Well....  you can keep little Ricky V.  LOL.  I am from Southern Miss.  I am sorry you guys have him, but I am glad we don't.

Just wanted to see who was coming and answer any questions about the area and the team your folks might have.  Just looking for a good conersation.

In reading your board you guys sound like we have sounded the past three years.  I am truly sorry.
