The Southern Miss Fans That Made The Trip To Hawaii Were Uh… Husky

So Aloha Stadium was pretty much empty for this game against the Nevada Wolfpack and the Sourthern Mississippi Eagles. That didn’t stop the crowd from having some signs that made absolutely no sense, cheerleaders, and announcers in God awful Hawaiian shirts.

Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles vs Nevada Wolfpack – Sheritan Hawaii Bowl Preview

Nevada (7-5) vs Southern Miss (11-2) I'm not sure exactly what to expect from this game, except that Larry Fedora believes that Southern Miss should be playing in a BCS game (obviously). Fedora made the statement when a reporter asked him one of the dumbest questions I've heard asked of a head coach after knocking off one of the top dogs, Houston. It went something like this...

Nevada early signing period class

Rounding up the last few early signing period classes of the regional D1 programs, today is the posting of the Nevada Wolfpack. I include Nevada in this region because Northern Nevada is part of this territory for MLB scouts and there are quite a few players who go there from Northern CA.
