This is getting painful to watch. Boise was doing everything in their power with penalties and turnovers in the first half to give USM a chance, but they are still running up the score on them. Some of their fans were being serious in wishing for a drop to FCS (Div. II) the other day.
Starting to feel sorry for the ole Mustard Buzzards....

Really, would it be that awful though? I think it would be a sad day for college football myself (USM has a storied football history despite the ridicule they get on this board) but they struggle to raise money to field a team each year. Their 25,000 fans would still show up each game, they could still play the 2 or so BCS teams they play each year, and their baseball team would be a lot more successful because they wouldn't have to rely on guys like Papelbon who train their in the winter to donate a Bowflex.
Over the last 5 year I hold DSU in higher regard, and that's with USM winning their CUSA championship. They'd kick the snot out of DSU.
Of course you've got the governor and a lot of higher-ups now who claim USM, so it won't happen, but it should. It would be the best thing for all 3 D1 schools.
And by this I mean FBS D1AA.. not FCS.

Yeah, that. I temporarily revoke my own college football fanhood for not knowing anything other than D1. I'll learn, I promise.
If you had been alive in the 80's and saw them beat us regularly, you wouldn't
feel sorry for them at all. We should NEVER PLAY THEM! In addition to 1,000,006 other reasons, we do not need another rivalry game. Fortunately, most of the players they got from Alabama in the Collins/Carmody era now go to Troy and S Alabama

Could they compete football only D2? Because their basketball team and baseball team would win the national championship often if they moved entirely to D2. If they could compete in football D2 the same case would happen probably. BUT, I do think it would help State and Ole Miss on the football field a tiny bit...maybe????
they got what they deserved when they fired that long time coach. his name escapes me for the moment. got too big for their britches. kinda like when ole miss fired the guy who I think is now doing well at duke. after all the **** I heard from their fans over the years, I don't feel sorry for them at all. I enjoy it. wish ole miss was sucking that bad.
Jeff Bower. Correct me if I'm but I don't think J. Bond ever beat USM. He beat every team in the SEC and owned LSU but USM was his nemesis.
what ever happened to that guy? I thought was a pretty good coach. the shambles that program is in right now shows how stupid a move it was to can him.
I don't think he wanted another coaching job. At the time of his firing he said he would stay in town until his kid graduated high school. He still lives in Hattiesburg. He took the Buzzards to bowl games 10 out of 11 years. I would take that at MSU.

Exactly
I just don't understand why some of our fans are scared to play them. We are going to work them.

Jeff Bower also invented the cure to cancer, won the iron man triathalon, and said no when he was asked out by supermodels.
I'm not worried about it now but at the time, it didn't make sense to me. USM is not what they were 4 years ago when the games were announced in 2009.
At the time
the game was scheduled, I was under the impression that Mullen would have our program to the point where we should beat the USM of old. Unfortunately, we've not quite met that mark (in my mind), but USM sucks now, so I guess it evens out. To make it clear, I'm not interested in seeing us play them every year (because they suck), but I don't think we should be scared to play them.
