Welcome to C-USA!

[Southern Miss Alum]

Just wanted to drop by and offer a Golden Eagle welcome to the Conference USA family. Looking forward to facing UNT soon.

[Mark Gommesen]

Well, thank you. We're thrilled to be here.

Being in a conference with a quality program like USM is a key benefit of this move. I hope y'all stick around.

We'll have the Golden Panthers, the Golden Eagles, and the Eagles all th one same conference. It's a party in C-USA (in your best Miley Cirus voice).

(Note to newbies to the forum that don't know, our mascot = the Eagles. Our nickname = the Mean Green. For some reason, even some of our own have challenges grasping this concept.)

Thanks for that southern' hosptitality, Southern Miss Alum.

One of the worst rain games some of us on this board ever saw at our old stadium was against

USM in 1981. We had an ex Mississippi State HFC as our "one year" coach that year, his name...Bob Tyler.

We lost against USM and 9 other schools that year in what was many of my era's fellow alums call our worse year

as UNT alums or Mean Green fans.

Then there was that NO's Bowl game..............I'll stop! LOL!

I think you'll see a much more competitive Mean Green team in the near future; maybe not our first couple

years, but in the near future. We'll be fine in basketball as a CUSA school.
