Yale starts 2 seniors and 3 juniors. It showed last night but it gives me hope for the future. We started 1 junior, 2 sophs and 2 freshmen.

There is a real good chance they are smarter than our guys too - I mean they are from Yale and all.....

What is kind of discouraging was the lack of "go to" play at the end of the game. They had 2 chances .... once specifically after that last time out in regulation where they ended up having to hoist up a desperation 3 as the shot clock was expiring. Not for nothing, but why not set up a fairly simpl...

With the amount of grad transfers these days I'd only redshirt players in cases of injury or if they are just not ready to contribute. Sends a poor message to the team if you have a guy who can help (possibly significantly) and hold him out for future seasons - essentially telling the team results ...

Withe the rumblings of more transfers leaving, all I can say is BYE..... I simply don't want anyone here who doesn't want to be here or follow the rules to stay here. These are Whip's guys. I have not heard many/any real reports of Whip being loose, but clearly these kids are being held to a differe...

I think Bell should get a new QB couch and absolutely get a new QB. Britto isn't the answer at all. Everyone already stated the in game adjustments so it's a moot point. We'll see what he's able to bring in recruiting wise and what bowl affiliations UMass can get. Especially since there's three new...

^ Yes, all of the above. Frank Martin's teams play hard. I'm mostly looking for us to play tough and be strong with the ball. Also curious to see how the press looks against another P5 opponent and whether we can make quick, solid decisions and get the ball moving on offense. Looking forward to hit...

Don't care about wins to a great extent as the fan base will not grow until there is a jump in wins. Look at basketball, they look much better but fan support is not that great, yet. Everything needs to look better for me to be thrilled, coaching x's and o's, with team performance are where things ...

In agreement with both of you in general terms but we have to give this guy a reasonable amount of time - don't we? That said, I get that "Culture" is an important part, but all the culture in the world is not adding 6" to Brito's height, or really fixing any of the other shortcomings mentioned abov...

We need to wash the stench of this season off and start thinking about next season: Lots of directions to go and questions to ask.... - Bell isn't going anywhere - We should have a little deeper roster next season in pure number of players (i cannot find it exactly but didn't we finish with about 52...

Hopefully they don't go in alphabetical order or he might not find out until june

That is just Lazy journalism ..... it is easy to assume that the team (any team) "quit" when you are getting blown out week after week. That is a scoreboard watcher reporting, not someone who has really watched an entire game (and frankly who would want to watch a Umass game start to finish) or real...

Bell’s offense is not RPO. IT is spread for sure, but there are no plays that I saw where the QB had to make a decision between throwing or running. They had one read sideline passes and running plays that resembled an option, but the QB never kept the ball, unless of course it was Curtis in the Ak...

Pierre will be the Jim McCoy of the program, the guy who got it all started. The Godfather.

I like the comparison.... I like it A LOT!

Seems so far this season that UVA is an elite defensive team that has trouble scoring.

Ummmm - I think you meant this decade...
