Southern Miss/Rice Football Game

Wednesday night we drove to Hattiesburg for the Southern Miss football game at The Rock, which we could have watched from home on ESPN2. This was the second home game of the year, and we watched the first one in the pouring rain - that's why I never posted photos from that (Sept. 1) game - it was raining too hard to take my camera to the game. Anyway, Southern Miss played Rice and we made it to the game in time to see the third play of the game, in which Martaveous Young, the starting QB, was injured. That would set the tone for the game. The backup QB, who was injured himself, ran the show and pretty soon Southern Miss was down by 3 touchdowns. Todd and I left at about 9:15 pm to drive back to Jackson, and at that time Southern was playing as bad as the Saints on offense. However, they made a 4th quarter comeback, which we listened to on the radio, and came within a 2 point conversion of tying up the game. Anyway, the top photo is from our seats at The Rock - section C row 36. The second photo is Todd and my mother, who came to the game with us. The third photo are our friends Julie and Jimmy, with whom we have our tickets. Next game in 10 days is Homecoming. Hopefully the team can get it together before then and maybe get our starting QB, Jeremy Young, back.
