Quote:Great news for everyone – the weather has cleared up making for a great day of Tailgating and Football at Southern Miss! Come enjoy a fantastic day at The Rock with all of Golden Eagle Nation!

Yes. Some marketing intern needs to be shitcanned.

We got it on the way over.

Ace...

Lots of people talking about it while standing ankle deep in water before the game.

USM's recurring mottos: "ALL IS WELL" and "ONLY POSITIVE SOUTHERN MISS SPOKEN HERE"...

Hey...we lost, we gotta blame somebody, but all the recriminations and Sunday morning quarterbacking ain't gonna change a thing. Of course we played like dog doody, but I knew when this game was gonna be a "rain game", we were in trouble...

Here's to 9 wins in a row...

Hey, at least the field drains now.

OTOH, maybe if we played in a lake we woulda won...

...I knew midweek there was a 80-90% chance and told people so much...I shot the marketing ediots off a letter after the game....here is the actual email...

Dear Fake Jim Cantore;
...you people are worthless at that University...you'd **** up a 1 car funeral.....how in the hell is it possible that you can't read a damm weather statement that from midweek until this afternoon called for a 80-90% chance of rain??...Look at an online radar you dumbasses....well from what I undertand now you did...but you decided to Lie to the people in and attempt to fill the stands with more fans....

People drove down with their kids in that hurricane and risked their lives in that dangerous crap because you people thought it would be a "good idea" to just outright Lie to the fans just to get more people to come to the game...

Nice "Job" *******...Lie to the Fans about dangerous weather....Real Good dumb***....Real Smart.....and that is not only dangerous but if someone did get into an accident on those sloppy roadways then I would hope they would sue the F outta you POS's for doing that ****..

...Somebody Needs to be Fired for this Little Stunt you pulled....And Fired Monday Morning!!!......I've had enough of you people up there ******* everything up....WE ALL HAVE!!... ....WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???
.

...you people need to shoot an email off too....get on these moron's for Christ sake so they know we caught their BS lies.

If you think your letter that appears to be written by a Jr. High smartasre will have an impact you are kidding yourself.

...we'll find out tomorrow won't we??....and if not I will make a little phone call to those people and give it to them...and if that don't work than I'll go down there and see them in person.....but I'll be dammed if I'm gonna let some POS in marketing outright lie to people about the weather just to get people to the game with no concern for anyone's well being.....nuh uh...that **** ain't happenin....they done crossed a line and I'm gonna push em back over.

I have yet to figure out what goes on in 'their collective heads'....

it's shockingly sad how that group is/has been run for decades other than a smattering of 'blips on the radar'...

'course, the day o' social internutz has further developed an even sadder cast of characters that are led by those that are more clueless.....last year, the business tees was a great idea....now all I see are pvc supported signs that say, "football at the rock saturday".....that's just dadgum pathetic

one only has to go to southernmiss.com to realize the level of ineptitude that creates 'fail'....or ep...or gannet...or.....

Just saying if you want to be taken seriously by adults you probably need to act like one.

I was on campus 3 hours prior to kick off, I got wet, kinda like I do in shower only with clothes on. I never felt my well being was threatened.

You aint that important bro!

You may get to talk with the equipment manager. Maybe?

Who the heck relies on an "email weather report " and takes it at face value ? With all the apps on phones with CONSTANT updates, it's really just a quick glance down at your phone or heck, every hour on the hour some radio station or local TV station "commercial" (coming up at 6, Get out the umbrellas for your evening commute"...) talks about the weather ALL DAY. I mean who doesn't know what the weather is supposed to do at least 6-12 hours ahead of time ? Some lazy, ill planning or maybe naive' people.

That's the point. That email was insulting to anyone with a bit of intelligence and 2016 technology. With that group, our athletic department already has enough credibility issues without blatantly lying about (or just f***ing up) the weather forecast.

As for everyone else as described in your last sentence, deceiving them into showing up is just kinda sorry. They've got enough problems as it is.
