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!

Per Walfish: No audio or video for the trip. Umass will play two national teams in the US and British Virgin Islands.

Ugh. I may have given people an idea. Apologies.

Villanova has a big name performer annually...a few years ago it was Cardi B

Villanova gets Cardi B to promote their top-notch basketball skills. UMass gets Cardi B to promote their top-notch Tinder-swiping skills.

The Department is staying active on social media. Hell, how many strongman videos have we seen over the last few weeks? Skip producing one of those and you've got plenty of time to get the word out about the VI trip. After seeing the roll out of their new “brand identity” (???!!!), I walk back from...

Carvel’s latest email mentions “skills coach Ryan Bliss.” I assume this means his playing career is over? From what I read, Bliss’ injury was bad enough that it would have been difficult to return to college hockey. I’m glad that UMass gave him an opportunity to train to work towards the goal to re...

Stadium compiled a list of all foreign trips , and we're showing to start on 8/19. That's just two weeks away. Not to have any information announced at this point is getting bizarre. Media relations is operating with a skeleton crew. The department eliminated one position recently, rolling supervis...

While it is great that UMass has a tv deal, doesn't that impact folks actually attending the game? We'll be able to figure out the economics based on the quality and frequency of ads. If we see a lot of 'UMass hotel 'ads, my bet is that UMass is losing a lot of live bodies in the stadium. I can’t s...

^ I saw that and think it's great, but I wouldn't get carried away just yet. His stats in Jr. Hockey were nothing to write home about. Maybe he just needs another year to develop. It wasn't clear to me when he is arriving in Amherst. When UMass committed to Cale, his junior stats weren’t overwhelmi...

Plus they could already be in trouble if the WCHA splits happens http://m.startribune.com/7-schools-including-mankato-bemidji-state-begin-process-of-leaving-wcha/511976862/ Essentially this is a roundabout way to kick Alabama-Huntsville and the two Alaska schools out of the conference. IIRC the Ala...

Did I hear right that the Pub is closing too? Yes. The owners of The Pub and Rafters will close The Pub to make way for a new restaurant. It’s called Savanna’s and it will be located in that new development south of the Hangar. I hear Savanna’s will cater to customers who’d prefer Judie’s or Bistro...

The NHL news, along with Carvel signing an extension, albeit a short one, is all good news for UMass. It will greatly help with the recruiting and we already know he can coach them up. Keep working on keeping him here long term and we've got a great situation with hockey! My guess is that Bamford s...
