clean house < 1. statement that USM conspiracy theorists have been waiting for; 2. term used by Roy Klumb in a conversation with Dave Elliott (host of WLOX talk show, Sunday Night), in reference to what Shelby Thames was hired by the IHL Board to do at USM; 3. Elliott also reported (5/9/2004) that Shelby Thames admitted as much to him as well; 4. Myron Henry and Dennis Wiesenburg were dismayed to hear the term, but most USM (and South Mississippi) constituents have been waiting a long time for such an admission to be made public. Since it aired (5/10/04), spirits at USM have dampened even further (if that’s possible).

Tim Hudson’s Playboy lifestyle < reference to the fact that USM Provost Tim Hudson earns $145,000/yr., lives free-of-charge in the beachside USMGC Provost’s home (which received about $100,000 of renovations last year), has a University-provided apartment in Hattiesburg, drives a University car, and has an abbey in the French countryside (well, USM does, but Hudson treats it as his own).
