I like the ten commandments. If you keep them, then everything else falls into place. <br>We thank Coach Dudley and Coach Bowers. The University of Southern Mississippi is on the rise. With players like Adalius it is easy to understand. We thank Adalius for his great example. He is playing his song. His light is shining brightly. <br> <br>USM FOOTBALL<br><br>The University of Southern Mississippi football is on the rise. USM clinched a winning season in1994 with a thrilling season ending victory at LSU and the 1995 team posted consecutive road wins for another winning season. Then in 1996, Coach Jeff Bower guided his Golden Eagles to an 8-3 record and a share of the brand new Conference USA Championship. Last year, USM finished in sole possession of the Conference USA Crown, defeated Pittsburgh 41-7 in the Liberty Bowl and had a final national ranking of No. 19 in both polls.<br> Coach Bower stated,  I think we've improved a lot. We are getting kids like Adalius who want to work hard, want to get a good education, want to win and want to be unselfish. We have a solid nucleus of players who represent our University in a first class way.<br> There are only five programs in Division I-A who finished in the top 20 in football who are also in the top 20 in graduation rates. The University of Southern Mississippi is one of those teams. I think that says a lot about our program and where it is. <br>The Golden Eagles field teams in 16 intercollegiate sports. Roberts Stadium (football) seats 33,000 and Reed Green Coliseum seats more than 8,000. New facilities are in the works which include construction of a brand new field house and strength/conditioning facility.<br>  It is something that is long, long overdue, said Coach Bower,  and we're finally able to do it. It will especially help us from a recruiting stand point; it is going to make us much more competitive. <br>Coach Bower was also a great player and set many passing records at Southern Mississippi. Most of those records are now broken. Bower coached Brett Farve (1987-90) and Reggie Collier (1979-82) who were two QB's who broke his records. However, he still holds the USM career mark for completion percentage with a .549 mark.<br>The formation of Conference USA has been a good move for Southern Mississippi.
