Better to be confused as the potato state instead of the "no shoes, KKK, missing teeth, stuck in the 50's" state :wideeyed:

Please, give it up. You are a fool. Eustachy has lost two years in a row to Savannah State. Defend that. As for the facilities, Eustachy himself when he showed up at USM said no facility had won or lost a game for him. The guy is an egotistical coach that thinks he is far better than his current position at USM. Well excuse me, but losing to Savannah State two years in a row blows Mr. Ego out of the water. You just want to live in the LE fantasy world he loves to play to. Facts are LE is a huge failure at USM and all of your b.s. spin won't change that fact.
Welcome Eagles fans. How did you find this thread anyway? Glad to see we are not the only fans that disagree on coaches. Hope you come back again and become Cyclone fans somehow.
So what do you consider a good year at USM? Apparently you must be used to deep tournament runs and top 25 finishes there if you're ready to throw his head on a stake after winning 19 and 20 games with 9-7 records in conference the last two years...so what would you consider a good year there?
Well good to see you Cyclone fans have gotten to see some of the best members of the EagleNation and the worst. I personally am in the air at this moment. I think LE has done a good job so far. He has beaten some teams he shouldn't and lost some he shouldn't but then again that's sports. What the ever pessimistic Eagle4Life forgets to tell you is that both of the games against Savannah State required Southern Miss Basketball to take a bus from Hattiesburg, MS to Savannah, GA because Men's Basketball doesn't get 1/4 of the funding that baseball and football due. Unfortunately for Eustachy the coach of USM before him left the pantry empty. He left 2 decently talented players that both transferred to NIAA school William Carey. Unfortunately for those players their talent was not enough to make up for their selfishness and ball hogging. I can say this sufficently as I worked with half the starting lineup for William Carey Basketball. Eustachy has done a decent job, but now he has some experienced guys that should be decent. While he have not been amazing our players are very good at "playing to the level of our opponent". We were one of only 2 CUSA teams to lose to Memphis by less double digits 2 years ago with a team of mostly freshmen. I believe Eustachy has done a decent job considering the hand he has been dealt and is a decent guy. You must also understand that there are those in the USM family that thinks since we are little ole USM there is no room for our coaches to have balls of any kind and be able to speak their mind. To slightly paraphrase Dan Hawkins "It's Division 1, you don't like it go play intramurals brother"
This is re-hijacking the thread, but it's too hilarious/insane to not tell.
I was in New York a few years ago. I walked into a store and held the door open for a little elderly woman coming in behind me. She thanked me and said, "Well you're obviously not from around here, since you just did something nice for a total stranger and didn't ask for a tip. Where are you from?" I told her I was visiting from Iowa. She thought for a second, and then her face lit up with a big smile. She goes, "Oh, I've heard of you people! I've never gotten to meet one, though. Tell me, there's something I've always wondered ever since I learned it in school as a little girl. Do you really go out at night and throw potatoes at buffalo for fun? Is that what the kids do?"
I stood there at a complete loss for words, and just shook my head.
Okay, resume arguing about Eustachy and Mississippi.
Praise the Lord for you SMU fans hijacking this never-ending topic of LE, WM, Gmac....what a breath of fresh air.
From hear on out, when a "never-ending" topic comes up we go find some other schools fans to hijack these threads.
Thanks you SMU fans!!!

I live not too far from Hattiesburg and I was going to interject that Eustachy is on the radio in Iowa all the time because he can't get anyone in Mississippi to listen to him or pay attention to him...but the couple of Southern Miss fans beat me to it.
The reality is that football (and to a lesser extent baseball) are more passionately cared about in the deep south than basketball. Additionally, Southern Miss is a distant third in the state of Mississippi behind Ole Miss and Miss State in terms of stature.
I continue to be dismayed at the popularity he retains among some in Iowa. The bottom line in my opinion is that he is doing a marginal job at Southern Miss and I am glad that he is no longer the coach at ISU.

I did read where someone pointed out that we played 4 Division II teams last year. It is true, and the coaches and administration caught a lot of heat from the fan base for doing it.
Did LE explain it to you that teams were afraid to schedule a game at your gym? Some Cyclone fans actually believed that excuse..... and still do.

Some others that are fairly well known Ray Guy (former Raider), Adalius Thomas (Patriots), Patrick Surtain (Chiefs) , Todd Pinkston (former Eagle), and Michael Boley (Atlanta).
Not necessarily that they are afraid, but we can't pay them enough to make it worth their trp.
