And between the early kickoff, the unfamiliarity with Fedoran gameplanning, and general overconfident sluggishness, I'll give USM a shot, certainly. But again, the trends on both sides over the past couple of years in this matchup--Auburn's success vs. mids, USM's struggles against majors--are so strong that unless the preseason wisdom on both is WAY off, it really shouldn't happen. <BR/><BR/>Then again, I'm the guy who called Miss. St. an "auto-win" last year, so there you go.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-57317359493942964432008-07-16T14:17:00.000-04:002008-07-16T14:17:00.000-04:00Nice write up but I beg the difference with the ta...Nice write up but I beg the difference with the talent we have coming back. Auburn can overlook us and think its going to be a cake walk, they will have a rude awaken. They have 6'3,6'5,6'6 receivers that can run and catch. Parham who runs a 4'3 that will be on the field with the likely of Fletcher, Nelson, Magee,,,,,Watch out here comes the EaglesTruth2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/02278374978723329444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-85972106149023084672008-07-16T13:18:00.000-04:002008-07-16T13:18:00.000-04:00The name "Seymour" is kind of a pun (the full name...The name "Seymour" is kind of a pun (the full name is "Seymour d'Campus," as in "See more of the campus"), but it was inspired by the mascot at the 1984 World's Fair in New Orleans, named Seymour d'Fair ("See more of the fair"), which was played by a guy who also happened to be a former USM mascot. So it's really an homage.<BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seymour_d'Campus<BR/><BR/>But, yeah, the old potbellied Seymour costume (pre-2005) was much better than the sleeker, open-mouthed version shown here. USM used to keep a live eagle, too, but it died in its cage (or whatever) under sketchy circumstances in the late eighties/early nineties and was never replaced.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-81201341672002970242008-07-13T14:16:00.000-04:002008-07-13T14:16:00.000-04:00I have no idea if "Seymour" is supposed to be a "s...I have no idea if "Seymour" is supposed to be a "see-more" pun or not, but regardless: it's "Seymour." It's not a name for a mascot, it's the name for that guy in the back of the class with coke-bottle glasses whose whose Mom makes him wear a bow tie.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing that very nice memory as well.Jerry Hinnenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097537044668238939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20559458.post-64106324492230593972008-07-09T21:06:00.000-04:002008-07-09T21:06:00.000-04:00Oh brother.

Their mascot is a pun?<BR/><BR/>I still remember coming back from the Tennessee vs. Miss. St. game when I was in high school. We stopped at a rest stop at the state line and all these Vol fans were high-fiving each other and hooting -- Southern Miss had beat Bama and it was a perfect moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
