After this year, +1 - UMass should have a legitimate and strict 10 year plan going forward; if we don't reach our goals by then, move on and use all that money towards academics. Yeah, that's not going to happen. They get rid of football, the state will remove that money from the school/system's bu...

We will likely be awful for as long as Mr. Bamford allows Coach Bell to run the HUNH offense w/o the necessary personel. If Coach Bell abandoned that ridiculous offensive strategy and actually tried to play complimentary football then the team wold not necessarily be awful at all. I agree with all ...

As long as Coach Bell insists on running a HUNH offense w/o the personnel to succeed (including a QB) , then Bell's offense will likely continue to generate blowout losses and unwatchable football. Inexplicably, this is all apparently okay w/Mr. Bamford. I emailed Mr. Bamford after the SIU loss and...

From the mind of the great one.. ..Bell is going to land a savior at QB (grad transfer) that will add more pts and time of possession and lower our pts against to around 40 per game. We will beat Albany and Troy (who is headed for bottom 10 status) and possibly at Akron. 3-9. Now, let's jump ahead ...

I hate to say this guys: if the BYU game was indicative of anything, Bell does not coach to win. 4th and 4 & we're down by 39 at end of 3rd quarter and he punts tells me that he is not a HC. I don't know if UMass football can survive numerous 1-11 seasons. Let's keep fingers crossed that somehow we ...

Glad the season is over as well as it was painful to watch. Next year will be better. I guarantee two wins (Albany and Troy) and two other close games (at Akron and NMex st). I will be happy with 3 wins and good recruiting class this year and another next year. Next year could possibly be worse. Al...

Feel most post from emotion and the similar things were said about Matt McCall for two straight years. Need to give him 3 years. Hopefully, then you all can eat your words as this years bb team. If not, I'll smash my maroon glasses. Then I'll get a new pair of glasses. PS. Know it is simpler to tur...

Was listening to game,(also, the Virginia basketball game) on Sirius while traveling.. The BYU announcers could not understand why we used a hurry up offense. Said something liked it looked like our plan was to get the ball back to BYU ASAP. That’s a question a lot of us have been asking the entire...

Bell needs at least one more year. If it’s the same shit at the end of next season with no improvement can him like Molnar. Also would be interested to know what the selling point is for this coaching position. Old stadium, small fan base, small budget, no conference, in an area where high school f...

There are too many jobs at stake and thank God we live in the 4th wealthiest state in the US. UMass is public, not private. UMass is one of the most expensive public universities NOT in the AAU. It's like paying for a stock with a very high P/E ratio. Hey buddy, you can't have it both ways. How abo...

There's nothing cheap about the cost of a UMass education. I just heard $130,000 for 4 years on WBZ or WCRN this morning. In fact, it's NOT much less. UMass is one of the most expensive public universities, not the cheapest, that is not in the AAU. According to College Board, average in-state publi...

Umass has spent 10 seasons getting kicked around in every way possible.The jump in apps is due to financial pressures in parents,students and the college debt accrued. UMass offers a very good to exclent education with much for much less. F There's nothing cheap about the cost of a UMass education....

Anyone who says UMass would have over 42,000 applications as a FCS or no football school is just totally wrong. Don't tell me it's a coincidence that applications doubled when we went FBS.

Over what time period was that jump?

I just told you: since 2011/2012. Look at UMass' own records.

Just a question for the group. Is there anything that could ever convince certain members of this board that getting out of FBS football would be the right move? I am honestly curious. Dropping the sport or dropping back down to FCS would make sense if the administration didn't want a USNWR #64 uni...

^^^^^ Meehans comments were not that shocking to me, he’s well versed in passing the buck as a lifetime MA pol. UMass system presidents have consistently undermined the real and only UMass for decades. This is just another case of that. It’s annoying but predictable from that office. Move the physi...
