Is there a particular reason?


Grew up with some friends who were always obnoxious about USM. I mean overly obnoxious always saying shite like Ole Miss and State were scared to play them, and they could win 7 games a year in the SEC.
When they fired Jeff Bower it took my level of hate to a whole new level. To fire the teams most successful coach of all time after a 7 win season because you think your little school can be relevant on the national level just really pissed me off.

Eh, the program was becoming very mediocre with Bower at the helm. Our fans wanted to win a CUSA title and Bower didn't do that in his 7 of his last 8 years. In 2007, he lost to a 3 win Rice team and Memphis (both at home). The fans were very upset and our last home game of the year had under 20k people announced which never happens at USM.
