That’s some real рussy аss thinking right there.
2023 Football Schedule

No. We should win easily if our team is coached worth a damn.
Since resuming play in 2014, we've outscored them 121-31 with the closest contest being a 34-16 win in Hattiesburg in 2015.
I'm not scared of them, and it's a damn sight better than playing Alabama or Arkansas right before the Egg Bowl.
Well those are new developments. Glad to see that.
But you know what I meant. Avoiding those teams has been their policy throughout history.
Have you paid attention at all to college football the last decade? USM is a bottom feeder program that isn’t on the same planet as SEC football programs. And are you really this much of a *****?
So those were just the quick ones I looked at. I was curious about in-state scheduling, so I picked a few others to look at. While Alabama hasn't scheduled in-state in a while, here are in-state non-conference non-Power 5 games scheduled by those you mentioned (and a few others).

So, as you can see, State’s in state schedule is nowhere near being outside the norm for SEC schools and even if it was... I stand by my statement that being scared of a Southern Miss upset is some real рussy аss shiт.
All those FCS games aren’t applicable. Huge difference in those programs and FBS. That’s like us playing Jackson State (which no one would ever have a problem with).
Kind of crazy you’re still hunkering down on this being scared of USM take. Such a fragile and pathetic mindset. It’s 2023, we are going to destroy USM.
Mississippi State has played Southern Miss a grand total of 3 times since 2012. That's:
1 fewer time than Florida has played Florida Atlantic and South Florida (on top of 2 Miami games and their annual FSU game)
1 more time than Georgia has played Georgia Southern (on top of their annual GT game)
1 more time than Kentucky has played Western Kentucky (on top of their annual Louisville game)
The same amount of times LSU has played LaTech and ULM
1 more time than South Carolina has played Coastal Carolina (on top of their annual Clemson Game)
6 fewer times than your favorite Texas A&M has played SMU, Rice, Texas State, UTEP, and UTSA.
1 fewer time than Vanderbilt has played MTSU (yes, I went ahead and looked them up too)
So that's 8 of 14 (really 13 since Missouri has no FBS schools outside Mizzou) with multiple FBS in state non-conference games over the past 10 years. If South Carolina isn't afraid to play Coastal, we sure as hell shouldn't be scared to play Southern Miss.

So again, my concern is not losing to Southern. It’s them playing over their heads physical and maybe dirty 5 days before OM. I wouldn’t give them a second thought if they switched weekends our schedule with SELA. More than anything, i was hoping to discuss something besides our OC.
We have those who would feel doomed with a favorable schedule that consisted primarily of teams from the Patriot League
NOW.... I finally see why Starkville will never get a Target: This kind of thinking.
Will be a great way to close out the yr with back to back wins. Hail State!
Southern Miss fans don't even take up capital in Hattiesburg. The majority (6+ of 10) were confused on who to cheer for when they played LSU in baseball.
I'm not concerned in the slightest with USM. They're not what they once were and neither are we.
Bunch of keyboard tough guys in here. Guess we'll see. And you'll be all wanting to fire Arnett when they play us a close game next November. Keep ignoring reality and history.
