To be fair to running, each year a lot more people watch the Boston Marathon than UMass football games, so it might not be the absolute worst spectator sport.

I heard a rumor that Ken O'Brien will be coaching cross country again this year, following a failed search for a new XC coach. Can anyone in the know confirm?

Named the new coach: http://umassathletics.com/news/2017/6/8 ... coach.aspx

Former assistant, but most recently assistant at Brown. 4 UMass degrees between he and his wife.

it seems Coach McCall has made it clear that he will be taking the team out of their comfort zone next year, and Chris Baldwin has chosen to step up and stay a UMass Minuteman. That's what I like about him.

Its possible they were granted a release, but it excluded UMass. Pure speculation, but limits are placed on releases all the time.

Niles and 78 are dead on. If I were AD, and a new hoops coach is off the table, the move to make is to get a new AD. You have to have control over what you are responsible for.

both men and women finished third. Women were behind Richmond and Duquense. Men were behind GW and laSalle. Both teams had some strong swims and some new records set. Historically, the men have won A10s based on their depth, which worked well when it was just UM and SBU swimming fast, but now that t...

I read the interview with the AD as it is premature to discuss by 1 month, not 1 year. If you get a job performance that starts with "working hard" it's going to be followed by a "but..."
