If there's no university left in Hattiesburg, the logo is up for grabs. Maybe Thames sold the logo for $50 cash money.

My reading is that the coach who is establishing the new football program at Shorter College is a graduate of Mercer & USM. Shorter's mascot is the Hawk. Mercer's mascot is the Bear. It appeared to me that the new coach was proudly holding his old USM football helmet in the picture. You'v got go admire the guy about whom the article was written  He's obviously proud of USM. You are right, ram.  Lighten up, EagleTalk.

Yeah, the article is a bit deceiving; however, what would have made this story even better is that Fleming is the current prez of Mercer, Martray is the current dean of education, and Susan Malone is I believe the assoc. dean!!! Oh well.

Did you mean without "golden" since I know BS and GS are just eagles.  Marquette is a prominent academic school that uses goleden eagles.

Thanks for the clarification. Somehow - I bet they'll have no problems with NCATE.

Marquette should be added to this list.

Now they are thinking about suggesting USM change its helmet to mimic that of Shorter College's:
