Ole Miss has said repeatedly we will play Southern Miss. We just won't play in Hattiesburg, period. When we say this USM immediately stops negotiations. There is no reason Ole Miss should travel to Hattiesburg to play them. It would be like LSU traveling to Ruston to play La. Tech. There's not a positive thing that can come out of it.

I understand the image part of it, but wouldn't y'all be making them happy by giving them a payday and a big name home game but at the same time basically having a home crowd? We play SMU in Dallas this year and that's basically what is happening, Texas plays Rice in Reliant Stadium in Houston, I know LSU has played Tulane in the Superdome.

Didn't know that but I do know Khayat absolutely refused to have us play them. I do see the rationale for not playing them but I'd sure just love to (when we're competitive again) drop about 40 on them in Hattiesburg and then never play them again.

But I will be in attendance for those USM/Miss.St games, rooting for the Maroons.
