Sports, politics, geography, etc. I went to Southern Miss. Proud zoomer. It's pronounced Hattie-spurg.

I'm not too sure how the Anderson era is going to go long term but I do appreciate that he (usually --- the Tulane game being a glaring exception) coaches to win. Huff definitely punts there.

South Carolina is the one Deep South state that hasn't elected a statewide Democrat in the post-2008 era but it's probably the best chance for a non-Georgia state in the region to flip.
If you apply the kind of differential turnout and demographic swings that would flip Mississippi to other Southern states, these are the results across Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina all within 3% of one another!

South Carolina has a higher education attainment than MS/AL/LA and their transplant % is a good bit higher so there's more people there that didn't grow up in the hierarchical mindset that permeates the region.

Tulane is going to go 7-5 with a negative point differential and a SP+ around 100 and because Mississippi goons are way overrepresented in the agent/media industry of CFB the line will be "SEE! Will Hall is awesome. Southern held him back. Those dirty poors."

This is why I still feel reasonably good about Rangers winning the league. 2 of the remaining 3 Old Firm games are at home. Let's say you net 3 points in those. Then you just need to net 2 (maybe 1 if GD improves) points over the remaining 24 matches with an easier schedule.
Rangers are now the first side in the 27 seasons of the split format in Scotland to have faced all of the other top six sides away after the first round of fixtures. Conversely, Celtic have become the first side to have visited 0 of the other top six sides at this stage.

The ACC not doing SEC-style permanent opponents is baffling. NC State/UNC, Miami/FSU, VT/UVA all not playing. That shouldn't be happening.

Feels like tonight is a potentially season-shifting match for Rangers. Hearts have been dominant at home and Tynecastle is going to be a snakepit with McInnes returning (though Devlin and Shankland being out may tamp it down some).

Hearts under Bloom/Jamestown might be positioned to be sort of a dollar store Atlético Madrid in Scotland where they could threaten Old Firm hegemony occasionally. Financial gap between them and the Old Firm is greater than Atlético Madrid and Real/Barcelona though.

Draw isn't terrible given the way the 2nd half went. Thought that last chance from Sterling was going in.

If you're a G6/FCS/non-football school with reasonably warm weather, you should be sinking at least some money into baseball. Football and basketball (maybe with guardrails some parity will return) are cooked in terms of national aspirations for schools like ours.
Southern Miss try not to invest in only baseball challenge (level: impossible)

Football best case you lose by 50,000 in the playoff and have your coach/players all taken. Basketball was fun for years but the portal created 40 superteams which eliminates upsets. Baseball (for now at least) you can have hope that you can make a deep run as a small school.

Now we do need to assure football can win 6-8 games a year most years because it drives realignment and revenue. But the ceiling there is really low outside of maybe like Boise and a couple others.

The cynical USM fan part of me feels like we're about a decade late on this and the SEC is just going to pull the rip cord out from college baseball like they've done in football and basketball before we ever play a game at new PTP. The renderings are incredible though.

And at least they're attempting to capitalize on success. A big part of why football fell off is we sat on our ass in the 2000s while all our peers were investing and building up their facilities.

Ok never mind I'm an idiot.
I mean, our athletic department signals to the fans that only baseball matters by the way they operate (despite being unable to release renderings of a stadium that have been sitting in a public document for months). So it makes sense people would think this.

ULM South Al ODU Win those and get to 5-7. That's not a terrible outcome given the start and the roster turnover from last year.
