In an article from the Hattiesburg American, an intrepid reporter tries to predict Southern Miss' record judging solely by the looks of the schedule. Here is his initial take.
I expect the Golden Eagles to win their season opener at home against Louisiana-Lafayette and add victories over Arkansas State, Marshall, UTEP, Rice, UAB and SMU. Conversely, I anticipate them losing to Auburn, Boise State, Memphis, East Carolina and Central Florida.A few paragraphs later, he seems to have had a change of heart.
I see the Eagles taking care of business against UL-Lafayette, Boise State, Arkansas State, Marshall, Rice, Central Florida and UTEP, but falling victim to Auburn, Memphis, East Carolina, UAB and SMU.In the matter of a few poorly constructed sentences, Boise State went from certain victor to certain loser. Kind of like the author.
Don't worry; readers let him have it in the comments.
Will Southern Miss football record improve? [Hattiesburg American]
UPDATE: Something reeks of censorship at the Hattiesburg American. After we posted this story about the dual-personality author, the website added a byline and changed the headlines to show that two different guys wrote the story. Don't worry, their sins live on in the comments section. What we wouldn't give for a screen grab right now.

Fellas...looks like you made the "gaffe" this time. The article was written by two guys...the first said they would lose to BSU...the second thinks they'll beat the Broncos. The author doesn't have split personalities, but rather is two guys trying some sort of point/counterpoint deal.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up, Drew. Those guys at the Hattiesburgian must have gotten wind of their mistake and fixed it up.
ReplyDeleteHow dare they make us look bad! WE'LL HAVE OUR REVENGE ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD!!
Yeah the comments section didn't even really speak to their mistake so they must've really tried to bury that mistake. I will take you at your word that they screwed up on that one. After all, Broncos > Golden Eagles
