Any of my friends who live out of town know that when I visit, there’s a ritual I perform every day: picking up a copy of their local daily newspaper. In fact, I don’t feel my visit is complete without a copy of that town’s daily paper to read. And I mean paper, literally, as in a print edition. Oh, I know everything is going digital these days as technology consumes every part of our lives.

On Saturday afternoon, Southern Miss finally found its way back into the win column.
Behind a dominant second half from Tylik Weeks, the Golden Eagles snapped their five-game losing streak with a 73–65 win over James Madison at Reed Green Coliseum.
