So, how far do we have to fall?
Facts:
Attendance is getting worse and worse every year.
Recruiting is getting harder and harder.
We have lost all TV money that matters.
Ole Miss and MSU think we are a joke......and they are correct.
Our facilities suck for the most part.......
Baseball is our only decent sport, but it doesn't pay the bills.
Our basketball program is disgusting, along with the arena they play in.
We have lost our media shine.
Enrollment is down.
Apathy is at it's highest ever.
We pay our coaches shit pay, and get shit in return.
USM grads are sending their kids to Ole Miss and MSU. And they are going to games up there with them!
Recruits are choosing LaTech, USA, and UAB over us now.
Our "TV" games are now on facebook and twitter..........rebs and dogs love to point that out.
Winning in this crap conference is not the answer, nor even winning championships, because they mean nothing.
Hattiesburg does not support USM.
Football games can not compete with hunting, fishing, and NASCAR any more.
Old loyal fans are not coming to the games anymore, and the young ones are going north.
We keep hiring idiots with no focus, ambition, or moxey, and run off the ones that do.
We are a reactive University, instead of a proactive University.
We have killed the fan experience around the stadium with no large tailgate areas close by. No, the Payne Center parking and Coliseum ain't close........nor is the gravel areas.......
We now have to hang our heads in shame when our in state sisters bang on us for being crappy, having no money, and playing in shit cusa. We can't even argue with them anymore. They are right. They matter, we don't.
We don't recruit 3 and 4 star kids against State and the Piss, we don't have a chance in landing them. We now are losing that battle as well to UAB and LaTech.
We settled and hired a SWAC coach to save money, and because he professed his loyalty to us. He's a god damn Ole Miss graduate for Christ Sakes......... Hell, he such buddies with them he would probably go to an Old Piss game on an off week.
Our athletic administration is lazy, our Eagle Club is lazy, and our students walk around our campus with SEC team logo's.......FACT.
When our pitiful ass marketing decides to try something new, it's always half assed, and never works.
ISP has failed us.
We still haven't taken advantage of an untapped coast market, because they are now all SEC fans.
I became involved with USM in 1978. I was damn proud to graduate from USM, boasted our athletic and student enrollments advantages to the bullies and webels, and we could back it up. Now we get laughed at. Not the typical put downs we used to get when we were beating there brains in, but that y'all are pitiful kind of laugh. Snickers.... What can we say now? Not a fucking thing. I now have to nod in agreement when they put us down. Now that a FACTUAL DAMN SHAME! And yes I am guilty of not buying season tickets anymore (I quit after Lfed left), but I don't have a reason to drive down from Madison anymore either. So what do I do with my Saturdays? Well this coming weekend I'm going speck and red fishing with my Ole Miss Buddies down in south Louisiana. And at the camp, we will be watching Ole Miss on TV, and other SEC games. And I will just nod........
