Tyrone Saterfield, a 6-2,
315-defensive tackle for the University of Louisville football team, will
not return to the squad next season, head coach Bobby Petrino announced last
week.
Saterfield, a two-year
letterwinner for the Cardinals, started 11 games last year and was a key
performer on the Cardinal defense.
The native of Milton, FL,
recorded 31 tackles and four tackles for loss in guiding the Cardinals to a
9-4 mark and an appearance in the GMAC Bowl. He started seven games for the
Cardinals in 2002, recording 19 tackles.
The Cardinals will head into
fall camp with defensive tackles senior Bobby Leffew, a 6-4, 289-pounder,
junior Montavious Stanley (6-2, 305), sophomore Amobi Okoye (6-2, 317).
Southern Miss to study wants
of hoops fans
The Southern Miss athletic department has launched the
initial phase of a campaign designed to improve and enhance its fans'
game-day experience with an examination of fans' opinions on men's
basketball games.
"I’m excited that we can provide our fans a way to
offer their input as we plan our marketing strategies for the upcoming
basketball season," Richard Giannini, Southern Miss Director of Athletics
said in an announcement. "The hiring of Larry Eustachy as men’s basketball
coach gives us a great opportunity to evaluate where we are with our fan
support and what needs to be put in place for our program to excel to the
level where we all want it to be."
The campaign, called "FANS FIRST," will unfold in
various stages, noted the announcement, beginning with an in-depth survey
through which fans interests will be gauged concerning the game-day
environment at Reed Green Coliseum.
The stated purpose of the survey, launched by USM in
conjunction with Murfreesboro, TN-based consulting firm Sport Insight Group,
is to learn more about fans' preferences regarding their game-day
experiences, reasons that influenced decisions to attend Southern Miss
basketball games, and factors concerning needed areas of change.
Invitations to participate in the survey were to be
mailed to Hattiesburg-area Southern Miss alumni, football and basketball
season ticket holders and Eagle Club members.
The survey was to be publicly accessible at the Golden
Eagles' official website,
www.SouthernMiss.com, starting on Wednesday, June 23, said
the announcement, which noted that USM athletics will provide two free "Top
of the Rock" tickets to its November 27 football game against UAB to those
who complete survey by July 16.
According to Dr. Ben Goss, director of information and
publications for SIG and also a Southern Miss alumnus, the information
collected by the survey will be a particularly useful in helping Southern
Miss identify ways to increase attendance at its home basketball games.
"Asking customers why they do or do not attend
basketball games is the first step in developing activities that can
ultimately enhance fans' experiences at Golden Eagle basketball games," Goss
said. "As Southern Miss alumni, fans and supporters, we have vested
interests in seeing that the Golden Eagles attain success, and we believe
that this project will play a role in that pursuit."
