They could pick a random fan out of the bleachers and put them behind center and probably beat us. Love HCSH, but he is scared to death of Southern Miss.

Yep, it's rarely helpful to give another program, player or coach, an axe to grind against us. Below is the story of Pat Collins from Wikipedia.
The early history of the football series (between LA Tech & Northeast Louisiana) was dominated by Louisiana Tech, as the Bulldogs won 20 of the first 25 meetings between the two schools. Following the end of the 1978 season, long-time Louisiana Tech head coach Maxie Lambright resigned, and Tech decided to hire Arkansas assistant coach Larry Beightol as their new head coach, instead of promoting long-time Lambright assistant coach (and Louisiana Tech alum), Pat Collins.[5][6] Collins was subsequently hired as an assistant coach at Northeast Louisiana, before being promoted to head coach following John David Crow's resignation at the end of the 1980 season.[5][6] Prior to Collins' first game against Tech as a head coach, he drew the ire of Tech fans by using insider information gleaned during his time as a Tech assistant to complain to Southland Conference officials and have the Bulldogs' star linebacker, Ed Jackson, declared ineligible to play.[5] The game, dubbed the "Ed Jackson Bowl,"[5] quickly turned into a rout, as Northeast Louisiana dominated the Bulldogs en route to a 35–0 victory in front of 23,500 fans at Tech's Joe Aillet Stadium.[5] Collins spent eight seasons as coach at Northeast Louisiana, and went 6–2 all time against his alma mater.[5] Following Collins' tenure, however, Louisiana Tech once again began to dominate the matchup, winning 7 of the last 8 meetings, with a 1989 game that the Bulldogs initially won on the field, but later forfeited the victory, as the only blemish.
A few interesting implications of this analysis (for me). First, they rated J'Mar above Griggs (Southern Miss projected starter). Next, they don't even mention Jack Abraham--instead listing Howard as the contender for the position. Abraham would (at least) be the 2nd team mention had he stayed in Ruston. There is a likely possibility he won't be given a chance to play in Hattiesburg. Might shoulda stayed put?

Have you considered those Dogs?
Not to mention Griggs didn't even participate in Spring practice. bad idea jeans
Have you considered those Dogs?
Not so well tonight
LOL!! Jack Abraham was 31 of 46 (67.4%) for 378 yds, 2 TD's and 2 INT's. IN HIS 2ND START!!! That's an incredible performance. He had never taken a college snap until last weekend. Abraham is just on a really bad football team, with a bad coach (Hopson). People forget that USM lost EVERYBODY from last year's team. USM lost their WR's, their RB's, their QB's......
We just need to make sure we don't lose to USM in the same year the ULM beat 'em.
= Bad football TEAM.
What you ought to be disturbed about is the fact that ULM beat a team on the road that we can't BUY a win against. USM is our daddy. Do we need to go back and pull all the player performance records of LA Tech players against USM the last 2 years?
I didn't think so.
