Here I am again...

[TheEagleWay4]

Hey guys, Im a diehard Southern Miss fan and I posted here a little last year prior to our opening game against you guys (had to make another account). I would rather not talk about last season or He Who Must Not Be Named; but if you have any perplexing questions about how I survived the single most embarrassing several months in our school's proud history (in my opinion) then ask away. I'm returning because one I thirst for football knowledge and talk, and second because we play Texas State as our home and season opener so I'm viewing you guys as our opener. It really, really, REALLY sucks how we made such a HORRIBLE hire that we had to buy the guy out and had to sell our home game to y'all to cover the buy out. Would have loved to have you guys down here and I think y'all would have really enjoyed it. Trying to work some things out to get to Lincoln this year. One things for sure, you guys are some the most respectful, friendly, and all around great football fans in the country. Less than 100 days to the start of the best time of the year. Southern Miss football is exciting again! Let the countdown begin!

I would like to hear from a Southern Miss fan what exactly happened last year. How did the team collapse to that extent? You guys played us tough last year and then fell off the map. It was bizarre.

I have a question, compared to places like Ole Miss and Miss State, how "southern" is SMiss. That might sound crazy but I guess I mean, is the tailgating as big, does it seem like a big party before and after the game, just wondering how it compares to the SEC schools who seem to have amazing tailgating. Thanks!

Wow. Where to start? First of all, I didn't think we played you tough at all besides the majority of the first half. Eloss took out our starting quarterback and put in the golden ponyboy Anthony Alford. EJ wasn't interested in winning. He was interested in riding off into the sunset of retirement after a few winning seasons at lil ol' Suthun Miss... After the Nebraska game, he was quoted saying, "We weren't going to win that game. So I used a sort of a practice." What. The actual. F***. We had the talent to win the conference and beat one or two of Nebraska, Boise State, or Louisville. Unfortunately, this would have required great coaching. All we had last year was a pile of crap who were getting paid to ruin our program. Johnson was also caught talking about how our players weren't at the SEC "pad level" that he was used to. That the slow, unathletic, uncoordinated, and completely untalented players from lil ol' Suthun' Miss didn't deserve to have such an esteemed coach from the holy of all holy conferences, the $EC. Johnson NEVER respected his players. He would always refer to them by their last names in press conferences as if they were just his little wooden puppets that would do all the work for him and carry him into retirement. He never, not once, had a connection with his players. From banning the play of music on the practice field, locker room, and weight room to hiring a Strength and Conditioning coach that had been out of the game for over 20 years.(This guy was half the problem. Didn't believe in stretching but was a firm believer in playing SOCCER every day before practice.) From hiring a defensive coordinator who had failed just about everywhere he had been to hiring one of his old drinking buddies (who had a very serious alcohol problem which led to our quarterbacks coach to coach the entire offense. Disaster.). Like I said, he hired a bunch of his old friends to ride off into the sunset with him into retirement, because "Everybody can win at Southern Miss. It's just a fact." (Yes, he actually said that.) He never respected his players, therefore his players never respected him. Simple as that. It was bad enough to where the players had to call a meeting with our AD about their troubles, with no coaches allowed. About as ignorant and snide as it gets. And if you know anything about the South, you know that people around here don't appreciate that. I could literally write a book on this. Made me so mad to see my University taken advantage of in such a way. Auburn better hope they have enough talent to outplay EJ's coaching because if they don't it will get bad. I hope that answered your question.

As you can imagine, we try to be different from our local leghumpers to the north. But really, our tailgating doesn't really reflect that. It is, however, quite different from the Grove as Ole Miss. With all their lace tablecloths and china matching their silverware sets. We like it simple. But we do simple big. If you want to experience some genuine southern hospitality with fantastic southern food, you want to be in the The District on Saturday afternoons on gameday at The Rock. Nothin' better in my opinion.

Will you be coming to Lincoln this year?

 

[knapplc]

I hope that answered your question.

It did, and then some. If it helps, Husker Fan knows your pain. We hired a coach really similar to that about nine years ago, and we suffered through four years of "bad fit" (to put it nicely). Glad for you guys that you got out after only one year. We have another coach (Bo) who really likes hiring his friends. Nebraska Fan doesn't really appreciate having our school be an on-the-job-training kind of school, but that's what we've got with this staff. We have some hits and some misses on staff, and hopefully they get it figured out pretty soon.

Good luck to you guys this year, and I hope you enjoy about 55 minutes of the game when Southern Miss comes back to Lincoln.

Will you be coming to Lincoln this year?

Trying to make it possible. Would absolutely LOVE to. Love Nebraskans. Love Memorial even more. Trying to work it out.
