Post from the Golden past of JJ

This post from the archives now looks rather prescient as The Kingfish warned Southern Miss fans about the perils of hiring Giannini for athletic director. Turned out to be right, unfortunately. That's ok, I like Monken. Wanted to bring him back to LSU.

Giannini was the worst of Southern's hires and they have a terribe unfortunately-long list of bad hires. Professors like Don Cabana, a total turd who was the warden at Parchman and thought he was a corrections expert; Presidents Thames and Martha Saunders, who were both disasters and created total rebellion and contention amongst the professional staff, Giannini himself and the coach who just took them to a zero-win season finale'.

What could be worse? Giannini's week-night games, the absurd 9:00 p.m kickoff game, the nasty rap music he allowed on the jumbotron for years and his seclusion in the skybox with cart after cart of catered food to his throne during every game. And cap it off with the firing of a winning coach and the hiring of a man who could not win one game. All supreme idiocy.

Another Eagle fan...

Yep....we're adept at finding the clunkers.

Southern Fan said...

However, sure looking forward to returning to campus on August 31 for the Texas State Game.

PS: I well remember when Southern was the largest college in the state and MSU and UM quit playing them.

3:10 why doesn't Alabama play UAB? Arkansas play Arkansas State? Texas play Texas State?

You KNOW the reason? Nickel and dime versus SEC.

Biggest game of a CUSA year..Unfortunately, our biggest rival, save LSU, has agreed to play the teachers college year after next.

MSU 5:16. The Cow College. Where they don't use artificial turf, so the Homecoming Court can graze at halftime.

They won't play us because we would own them.

Kingfish said...

At least when MSU dropped USM they beat USM. Unfortunately for MC, DSU spanked em in that last game.

Has the teacher's school down Hwy.49 let any more live eagle mascots die from starvation ? Damn, poor bird died because of stoned student handlers.

Wrong KF. Southern beat MSU quite a few times. I also watched them beat Florida State. They also beat Auburn and Alabama the same year. When Southern was going bowling every year, MSU was at home huddled around the TV at Jackie's house.

Kingfish said...

You're wrong.

MSU won the last game.

Oh, now you want to talk about 'the last' game. The 'last game' is not the reason future contests were called off. Now you're sounding like an Ole Miss fan who only wants to talk about November of 2012 as if the prior three didn't exist.

Hattie Burg said...

Scheduling for future years takes place LONG before the last time they meet. MSU and OLE Most have refused to play Southern for many, many years.

When USm could sign players who academically could only play for them or a juco they competed very well. Bobby Collins and Jim Carmondy got the most of the talent.

Kingfish sounds like summa my Ole Miss friends. The only game they seem to recall is the last one. Oh, they can recall ancient history and imaginary national titles but they've got this memory lapse otherwise.

Kingfish said...

Just citing what my Delta State friends like to tell me after MC left the Gulf South. They like to say "at least we beat USM when we dropped them from the schedule, y'all couldn't even do that right."

Bower said...

Ah, what year did Delter Stait beat USM?

Hattie Burg said...

12:38 is a dumbass. There has never been a time when Southern Miss academic eligibility standards were lower than Ole Most or Miss State. The SWAC school are another matter altogether.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
