Looks great.

I didn't read or listen to anything about this so did this come from state money or something? The reason I asked is if S. Miss had this kind of cash to spend ....

why did you have to sell the Neb game back to them to to pay the buyout on the coach that almost destroyed the program?

The Duff brothers, who the whole building was named after a couple years ago donated the majority of the money, or the entire sum. Believe it was around 1.3 million. They also donated the equipment truck/trailer for us at the beginning of last season, and it looks like they are still taking care of things as it has a new wrap on it this season. Between the Duff brothers, the late Gene Carlisle, and Chuck Scianna, they have provided the majority of the funds for our last few major improvements.

USM, as a whole, doesn't have this kind of coin. Not for locker rooms at least. The Academic Center, when completed, will be a very needed addition....maybe the biggest need in the athletic department facilities wise, with Reed Green being a close second.

The locker room renovation should definitely help in recruiting, so long as the success on the field continues.

I hope they play with as much energy as they had when the lights were turned on.

We are not allowed to use any state funds for athletics. We did have a hole that has been filled in. While it was stated that the nebraska game was sold for that reason we did not pay him off in a lump sum. He drew his regular base salary for the life of the contract which ended in December.

The locker rooms are the second part of a 3 part upgrade. We enlarged our weight room in the spring. The final part will be a nutrition bar in the weight room as well as a new dining hall open for all athletes on the second floor of the Duff center.

I heard getting the money was rough, which is why some renovations have been delayed. Apparently some of the commitments came from certain doctors in the area. Southern Miss fans know what I mean, or at least I think they do.

We aren't completely broke like most people want to believe. Completely funded by private donations. State funds are not allowed to be used on athletics in MS.
