Good observations regarding some of the positives from the game. I promise I am not sizing up Hops performance only on how we played against an average State team in Y4. I don’t see how it’s hard to say at this point if Hop is the right leader. His biggest win was game 1 in 2016. We have only dominated UTEP, Rice and one game against Charlotte under Hop over the last three seasons(FBS only). I want the same thing you want for this program. I am looking for something.......anything......to show me we are trending in the right direction. I’m not seeing it and man I’m looking really hard.....
What do you consider “trending in the right direction”? .
Question not directed to me but apply my two pennies
COMPETITIVE!!!! simple enough. State isn’t Bama, they are average. Today score was not representative of how badly we were beat. Today was an ole fashion beat down, not COMPETITIVE at all
]]>If you want to reach your potential you have to do the little things right, like punting, kicking, and handing off.
Hop has recruited well. This team is fast- maybe as fast as any USM team in 20+ years. The team has talent. Today's game should have been closer.
Maybe I realized it before, but the fact that this team's weakness is coaching came into sharp focus today.

Realistically we will never beat another $EC team. It ain’t happening. Now we could still win this crappy league but if one looks at it realistically what advantage do we have over any of them? They all have bigger and growing budgets. They all have excited fans who don’t have the scar tissue we do. And don’t forget the Troys of the world think beating us is some kind of positive thing. We are who we are and it ain’t getting no better.....

There’s plenty of room for improvement and outside of Alabama there isn’t a game on the schedule where we don’t at least have a shot to win. I’m excited for the rest of the season and I think at least winning the West is an attainable goal. Anything less than 8 wins will be a disappointment.

If anyone cares to go back through my comments I’ve not made derogatory comments regarding this coaching staff. In fact, until now, thought Hopson had done hell of a job on the defensive side of the ball.
Butttttttttttttt if we go 5-7 after 6-6 in year #4 it’s time to clean house
it's nothing personal, nor should it be....
but business is business.....
I curb stomped E12L's sorry arse out of the gate and backed up Monk when most were calling for his head....my only problem with Fedhat was keeping him for the bowl game...
southern miss fans have a tendency to become too emotionally involved b/c people are 'nice' until it's too late....
we play in a shiTTTy conference and can't compete OOC or dominate a weak west....
the talent pool in the south is rich enough to recruit/win 8/9/10 annually where we current sit....
hell, just wait until the next phase of realignment...not only do we currently recruit against, ULM, ULL, USA, Troy, and the 'lot', but they'll become our conference mates as the leftovers figure out who to pair up with....
I wasn't happy when hop was hired....I'm dayum certainly not happy with him now...

Did not expect to win today. I did however expect to compete. The score was not a true reflection of how bad that beat down truly was. Extremely disappointed in the lack of preparation and HEART..... piss poor performance.
Again just my two cents
