Damn.. USM kickoff set for 9pm

[57stratdawg]

Blue-hairs not going to be happy about that one.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

No wonder nobody ever sees them play.

Life on the road, in Hattiesburg.

 

[DogStuckAtUM.sixpack]

Pretty much confirms I'm not going to attend.

I wouldn't get to my parent's home in Madison until at least 2 a.m. Sunday, then would have another 6 hour drive to Nashville ahead of me later in the day.

That said, as someone who watches CFB from 11 a.m. Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday, I love this.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Whoa. 9?

Link: Here.

 

[57stratdawg]

Haha I agree. That's usually about the time I'm switching over the Pac12 game on Fox. So, no concerns on my end.

 

[ArcherSPS]

This must've been their meaning behind Anytime, Anywhere, Any place slogan.

 

[uptowndawg]

Whoa. Can't decide if I like that or not... gonna depend on finding a good bar to watch the afternoon games and whether or not I can line up a designated driver to get me home.

 

[57stratdawg]

Do they have UBer in the Hub City?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

They have an alternative service...

Deere Lowered... Don't those heathens know how much this will affect tens of people?**

 

[wpmusm]

Do they have UBer in the Hub City?

The city has a trolley service.

 

[GloryDawg]

At lest you won't have to worry about road blocks 2:30 in the morning.

 

[Dawg1976]

Yeah, I guess I will have to check the final score on Sunday morning. Hopefully we will be up enough at the half for me to sleep well.

 

[thekimmer]

Blue hair? Why would anybody be happy about it?....

Blue-hairs not going to be happy about that one.

Blue, black, brown, red, blond, or no hair.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Is it one of their Tuesday night games?

 

[was21]

Sucks. The best thing that could have happened is to play it early and get the hell out of there instead of hanging around all 17ng day

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I'll just note that I'm glad it's a night game because the sun can be pretty bad at MM Roberts.

 

[GreaterCowbell]

Early September game after sundown, I'm more than happy with the time after attending UAB & USA games last year. Temps should be mid-eighties or less.

 

[Drewbowski]

Where's the best place to stay in the burg?

 

[patdog]

Don't know about Hburg, but the Hampton Inn in Laurel is very nice and less than a half hour from the stadium.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Seldom used because of the 10s of fans that flock onto campus on your typical fall Saturday.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Where's the best place to stay in the burg?

Hilton Garden Inn, Fairfield Inn, or Courtyard will be your best options.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Eh. I wouldn't call it less than a half hour what with traffic on Hardy Street and 49. When I go to games there, I usually look for a parking spot on the west side of campus and walk the rest of the way.

As far as hotels are concerned, I've not stayed in one there in years. Here's a TripAdvisor list: Link

 

[HomeBoyDawg]

Plan to eat at Leatha's Bar-B-Que Inn before the game. You're welcome.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Hattiesburg's one of the top food towns in the state. There are quite a few nice places to eat.

It actually didn't start running until this spring. I have no idea if it will be used for football games this fall.

 

[WayboDawg]

Plan to eat at Leatha's Bar-B-Que Inn before the game. You're welcome.

I wasn't overly impressed with Leatha's. Granted it was decent, just not as great as some would have you believe. Check out Crescent City Grill, Cotton Blues, Mugshots, Jutamas Thai Food, and (my personal favorite) Conestoga Steak House. If you are staying near Laurel, check out The Loft, Lee's Tea and Coffee House, and Mi Casita.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

I will second Crescent City for those who have never been. Also Halfshell Oyster House on the east side of town.

 

[HD6]

Or go to Robert St. John's restaurant mega complex. Good Bulldog.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Crescent City would be one of his.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

I'd also recommend Keg & Barrel, Vicki's on Walnut, and Georgia Blue.

I think Leatha's is very good but also that it was better when it was in Marion County.

The worst thing about Hattiesburg is USM. A night game there at least gets you time to enjoy the area. I agree 9pm is a heck of a late start though.

 

[Shamoan]

an "o'clock" for every one of their fans. nice touch.

 

[ababyatemydingo]

usda prime ribeye at Purple Parrot. One of the best in the state.

Hattiesburg's one of the top food towns in the state. There are quite a few nice places to eat.

Go to Purple Parrot, and get the USDA prime ribeye. It melts in your mouth. One of the best you'll ever eat. Little steep, though. As a good steak should be.

 

[patdog]

Haven't been to a game there in a LONG time, but I would park off 4th St. and take 49 up to 59, if staying in Laurel. The Hampton is one block from the Interstate and Hwy 15. Not under 30 min with gameday traffic, but shouldn't be much over it.

 

[patdog]

Agree. Hattiesburg is one of a just a few towns in Mississippi I would live in.

 

[DreadNought.sixpack]

Letha used to boil her ribs. I can't abide that heresy.
