RIDGELAND, Miss. — Thanks to the efforts of C Spire Wireless, University of South Alabama head football coach will answer questions from Jaguar fans Monday in an online forum.

C Spire Wireless, the only wireless provider in the U.S. that offers consumers and businesses a suite of personalized wireless services, is kicking off its first-ever CIRCLE Blitz College Football Question and Answer series on Aug. 13, directly connecting fans with the coaches they love and admire, so they can get the inside story on their teams’ winning strategy for the 2012 college football season.

This unique online forum and Q&A series is taking place on CIRCLE, C Spire’s online community forum.  By posting questions on CIRCLE, coaches from the top football programs in the region will be able to respond directly to their fans — offering valuable information about prospects for the upcoming football season.  Additionally, just by posting a question to CIRCLE, participants will receive giveaways and will be entered into a drawing for amazing prizes ranging from autographed school and team paraphernalia to game tickets.

Jones will be the first of seven head coaches — a group that includes Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen, Hugh Freeze of Mississippi and Ellis Johnson of Southern Mississippi — to conduct his forum, which is slated to begin at noon on Monday.

“What football fan wouldn’t love the opportunity to have an intimate chat with their favorite coach about how they plan to have a winning season and beat their rivals this year,” said Jim Richmond, director of Corporate Communications for C Spire Wireless.  “At C Spire, we understand our customers’ passion for football and the teams they support, which is why we’re providing them the opportunity to get personal with their teams’ coaches using our personalized community forum, CIRCLE.  The CIRCLE Blitz College Football Q&A Series is just another way we’re personalizing the wireless experience in new and exciting ways for our customers.”

Anyone can join the online series and post questions by visiting www.cspire.com/circleblitz.  Each one-hour forum will be dedicated to a specific school and coach.
