This is pretty awesome: last year, Southern Miss sold a home game so it could raise enough money to afford to fire Ellis Johnson.
Now that’s sending a message.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
See, there’s just not enough money to pay players. If these failed coaches can’t collect $3 million buy outs round and round the carousel the whole thing falls apart. There won’t be anyone left to send those text messages all day.

Why would we pay to get it from Tech? We fill most of the seats at Grant Field/Bobby Dodd Stadium anyway. Besides, Grant Field/Bobby Dodd Stadium is almost a second home field for us. Our record there is better than our record in Athens.
