Pro tip: You can’t be the worst team in FBS (and FCS) when you’re better than another FBS team.

Re: Videos of old games

UMass at Temple, 1990 A10 Final, 3.8.90 If you look at the date, you know it was a tough one for use, patching together a Gurlufson team with Cal's first group of recruits but interesting game to watch and the video is pretty good quality.

Yes it was, with George Raveling doing the color.

Re: Videos of old games

Anybody got the Camby vs. Duncan game? UMass vs Sienna in the NIT? I posted the rematch and it gets a lot of watches. I have the Camby-Duncan game, and quite a few others. My collection is a bit of a mess right now, and I can't find the list I compiled a long time ago of which games I have -- some ...

I am going, as well as a handful of others I know.

Re: Game 12: BYU - 11/23/2019

Can't help but wonder how many points UMass could have scored at UConn last year if that game wasn't played in a monsoon. That could have made up the difference.

Re: Defending National Champ games

Having sat courtside for both, there is no doubt in my mind the UNC game is No. 1, just for the sheer magnitude of what UMass accomplished that night and the buzz surrounding that win. The win over Arkansas was tremendous, of course, but UMass was ranked No. 3 in the country to start that season and...

Re: 2019-20 Season

There was no obvious team to jump ahead of UMass after Minnesota-Duluth lost twice to Wisconsin (which moved up 11 spots to No. 6, four spots ahead of BC despite losing at Conte last weekend).

Re: GAME 5 9/28 AKRON

It was finally fun to be at a FB game. A couple of items worth mentioning. 2. Credit to Ally and the O line for closing out the game. When is the last time we had a 1 score lead, got the ball at the 25 and ran out the last 5 1/2 minutes to end the game? We had 3 subs on the O line and rushed for ov...

Our third and fourth games are against Union - both at Mullins. I stumbled across this Union post just now: ALBANY — The Union men’s hockey team was picked to finish eighth by the ECAC hockey coaches in their annual preseason poll, which was announced Tuesday. "I would put us in the bottom 4 s...

Re: Game 1: @ Rutgers - 8/30/2019

My biggest problem with the hurry-up offense is that it really hangs an undermanned defense out to dry when it doesn’t put together drives — which is what happened after the first quarter. Whipple never learned this, or didn’t care — doesn’t really matter which. That’s the one thing that concerns me...

Re: Looking Ahead to the 2019-2020 Season

Expect BC to be much improved this year. Three of their commits, including a goalie, were taken in the first round tonight of the NHL draft. BU had four first-round picks (and 12 picks overall) last year. BC also had 12 overall picks (one first-rounder -- Oliver Wahlstrom). Neither team finished .5...
