Southern Miss and Ole Miss players find loads of fun in rain delay

During Tuesday's rain delay between Southern Miss and Ole Miss, the players entertained themselves along with the damp crowd by putting on a variety show of creative entertainment.

"America's Got Talent" better watch out.

First, the Rebels of Ole Miss created a human bowling alley which even included the last wobbly pin.

Not to be outdone, the Golden Eagles of Southern Miss made a human roller coaster worthy of any theme park,  then both teams joined in for a casual slip n' slide.



When the rain still didn't quit, the teams did what any group of bored young men would do— have a dance-off.  The competitors did the prerequisite Michael Jackson crotch grab and moon walk before launching into a make-shift mosh pit.

The game was rained out and will be made up at a later date.

Get your tickets now and hope for another weather delay.

Southern Miss apologizes for band shouting racial slur at K-State player

Members of the Southern Mississippi band are facing disciplinary action after shouting an insensitive racial slur in a chant at Kansas State point guard Angel Rodriguez during the first half of the Golden Eagles' 70-64 East Region loss on Thursday.

The band was heard chanting "where's your green card?" at Rodriguez while he was at the free throw line.  The freshman is from Puerto Rico.



Southern Miss president Martha Saunders issued a statement after the game on the school's web site that said," We deeply regret the remarks made by a few students at today's game.

The words of these individuals do not represent the sentiments of our pep band, athletic department or university.  We apologize to Mr. Rodriguez and will take quick and appropriate disciplinary action against the students involved in this isolated incident."

Southern Miss interim Ad Jeff Hammond told the Clarion Ledger that he would take the band's director to meet with Rodriguez and K-State coach Frank Martin to apologize.
