The rant from the Curly Headed Boyfriend wasn’t particularly surprising. What was surprising was that Meehan’s comments weren’t particularly supportive of the program. If the president of the university isn’t supportive of the football program, why should the fans be supportive? Reminds me of Swamy’...

I was surprised Athletics didn’t include gift availability in their game preview email. They are usually good about mentioning these kind of things in those emails.

Did anyone else have trouble with the free streaming?

Don’t get comfortable with streaming being free. I believe the trial period is over and all CBS streaming games are behind a paywall.

I noticed that UMass stopped listing the team win-loss record on the latest game preview email.

I’ve seen some people on this board make comparisons between UMass’ defense this season and UConn’s defense in 2018. Here are the numbers: 2018 UConn - 617 yds per game (282 pass, 335 rush), 50.4 ppg. 2018 UMass - 485 yds per game (210 pass, 275 rush), 42.9 ppg. 2019 UMass as of today - 556 yds per ...

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that UMass will lose out the string. The defense has gaping personnel issues that I don’t think will be fixed as the season progresses. The offense isn’t far behind. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if they win a game. I’ll still go to the games and watch to see growth. ...

The flagship is sinking. On a serious note, didn’t someone in athletics marketing envision fans using this branding in a mocking manner? Why did the department continue to pursue this flagship branding? Is it because the university at large promotes it in their advertising, too? If you need to const...

Every win this season is a gift from the football gods. Treasure it.

Ok - Little People Cowboys on Tricycles..... Slot machine winner..... the Mrs. in Lingerie serving me a pitcher of Switchback

Excellent Happy Gilmore reference.

I agree it's absolutely not a blackout...if publications wanted to send reporters there they could have. It is true, however, that the program has decided to provide little to no information on the trip. In the long run it won't mean anything, but people who have followed this program closely for 3...

As I’m sure most of you know, the Rutgers game is on the Big Ten Network. Looking forward to watching!
