rain is a killer....no getting around it for any of us

I would guess a 1,000 but I sit on the same side a few sections down so hard for me to see. They brought more than Tulane* or Memphis even did when they were conference mates but probably half as many as Louisiana did on thier last visit.

They were loud enough and made an interesting game atmosphere, something we rarely see at the Rock.

I would like to see the series continue.

*CORRECTION Tulane easily brought the largest CUSA crowd ever to the Rock in '99.

I personally wasn't looking forward to this series and am looking forward to it ending. No disrespect I went to the game and got soaked. I just don't like playing the sunbelt conference. That conference just has always had an interest in Southern Miss. I know because of travel, etc. but I want to put distance between us and the belt. That's why every Christmas I am crossing my fingers because somehow we find a way into that dreaded NO bowl. They also aggravate me.

What all "G5" schools should do (which I hate that designation) is try and establish a home and home series with teams like Kansas, Virginia, etc. Develop a rivalry with them. The bottom line is that nobody in the college football world cares about "G5" rivalries. But it's just my opinion. On to UTEP. SMTTT
