I'm fairly sure there is at least one other school worse off than 5 years ago....

"...by failing to secure a seat on the last chopper out, Southern Miss stands on the other side of the realignment divide as arguably the only FBS program that occupies a lower rung in the national pecking order than it did 15 or even five years ago — not only in terms of wins and losses from one year to the next, but also where it stands in the overall caste system."

Wrong. Like, really really wrong.

Great article. Southern Miss would kill to get an invite to the AAC. Marshall too.

Our situation obviously sucks, but man USM has it pretty terrible too. As bad as our football program has been in the past five years, at least we have other extremely successful programs (basketball, field hockey, soccer, hockey, baseball, etc) that we can hang our hats on. I always remember USM being pretty decent, and they have produced some very good NFL talent, but to have your football program hit rock bottom in such a football centric part of the country? That blows

Any time you have the chance to grab the third-best program in Mississippi, you have to go for it.

When you've got the 3rd best program in Oklahoma and the 7th best program in Texas - grabbing the third best program in Mississippi closes out the light blues in the McDonald's Monopoly game.

Free Egg Mcmuffin. (no cheese).

Don't forget the 5th best program in North Carolina.

Half wrote that but could make argument they are fourth best. Wake is hurting.

Plus they keep blowing out UNC.
