Pick-em for the Southern Miss Game on Saturday

[georgethedog]

That's odd that you're making fun of our schedule. I was thinking that Bradley was just another NAIA or Division III school. I've never even heard of you guys. Where is Bradley located, and what's your classification? Do you really think that this Bradley guy can beat our whole team by himself?

Southern Miss - 83
Bradley - 61

Eagle, I see nobody from Bradley making fun of your schedule, only calling it like it is.
I am sure that no Division I school anywhere for the past 50 years has had four different NAIA opponents in their first nine games.
This really has to be one of the all time weakest schedules ever.
And even your own people know it and have been apologizing for it, making excuses and churning out the spin.

By the way, we know a lot of people from your neck of the woods don't get out much, and maybe don't know much about basketball outside of Mississippi, but if you want to know more about Bradley just check the list of Top 50 NCAA D-I programs in WINS, WINNING Percentage, and Home Attendance.
Also check the NCAA Tournament results from last season, and even the Sweet Sixteen games that were all nationally televised.

Here's what we all know about your school and coach:

Nice picture. Where do I sign up to be the next coach at Southern Mississippi?

george,
that picture of present Southern Mississippi head coach Larry Eustachy was taken when Larry was the head coach at Iowa State.
And the pics show coach Eustachy having a pretty good time, getting a couple pecks on the cheek by some co-eds while drinking beer.
Personally, I wasn't as bothered by it as a lot of people appeared to be, and it led to his firing even though he was a very successful head coach at Iowa State.
I certainly have a far harder opinion of the kinds of acts committed by Bob Huggins and Eddie Sutton, getting drunk, driving, and plowing into things, but the Iowa State people must have a whole lot higher standards than some places.

T...how do you think Euastachy got home? Chances are HE drove also. While I agree it was not the worst thing a coach could do I don't think he left ISU much choice. Perhaps a suspension would have sufficed but I can understand why they cut ties with him.

Eagle you must not be much of a Southern Miss basketball supporter since we smacked your team around last year right down there in your backyard. BTW everyone not just BU is making fun of Southern Miss's schedule.

Was POB and Will the thrill back by then....i can't recall.

I think he just spent the night there.

No becuase I think his WIFE would have fired him... no one has answered me yet. Were POB and Will back...seems to me they weren't and Adams was the "hero" in that game. It was ugly if I recall.

The Southern Miss game last year was 8th game last year. Will Franklin played 7 minutes (since his suspension was for 6 games), but Patrick O'Bryant was still not eligible to play. Looks like Bradley did not shoot real well and had 20 turnovers, but their defense cause SO. Miss to shoot just 29% for the game.
Below is the box score from last year's game--

This is an opinion board. The Golden Eagle fan just gave his. Even though he doesn't know much about Bradley, lets hope his prediction is wrong.

[Grand Eagle]

A fan from some obscure directional school in Mississippi who has never heard of Bradley? Wow! You simply don't know much about colllege basketball.

You're right. I don't know that much about basketball. I guess if my school was too small and insignificant to field a football team, then I would know more about minor sports like basketball and volleyball.
