I stopped caring as much a while back and now I am looking at this through a little more unbiased lens. North East football in general is not popular. The weather is only decent for about half the season, and there is no critical mass of College Football fans that will consistently fill a stadium (u...

I'd rather say we are a high mid-major team in a mid major world. With Frank Martin and his great staff, we'll be fighters and hopefully doing well. However it is up to YOU guys to support the Massachusetts Collective for players and the Court Club for the coaches, facilities and student athletes! ...

I am surprised that nobody has started a thread about this here. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39963389/ncaa-approves-new-transfer-rule-allowing-immediate-eligibility This will be the death-knell for a school like Umass.

These rules have been in place since December, they aren't new. The change that IS good is that grad transfers must abide by the portal dates as well. Gotta adapt! :arrow: https://www.themasscollective.com/join Not the part about mid-year immediate eligibility...... that was the final dagger. For e...

What towns in the Amherst area would you recommend looking into? I've lived in Colorado for the past 20 years and have pretty much done almost all of the adventures to be had here. My parents live on Cape Cod and are aging. My wife and I both work remotely and can live anywhere. I'm thinking that g...

The horse is out of the barn now unfortunately. The only way to fix this is to require contractual obligations. These college players actually have it better than the pros do now. They don't even need to play a full season, they can leave in December and jump right on another roster and start playin...

WTF.... Mid season transfers?

This is literally like a professional trade deadline.

^^ My extra curriculars were three part time jobs to help pay for college. I didn't get a free ride. Now you just sound like a bitter old man talking about tough you had it and no one that comes after you should have it any easier. Someone is willing to pay kids money, in some cases life-altering m...

Or Don Muraco?

If I remember, he was The Golden Boy Don Muraco?

How in hell do you have a conversation like this without mentioning Jimmy Super Fly Snuka?

I don't know how I feel about him TBH.

He was coming in to a somewhat toxic environment and he was smart enough to figure it out quickly. Does that make him a douche or smart? That could have turned out to be career suicide instead of a stepping stone?

I would assume we can make that work, especially with Thorr Bjorn being the AD over there. The two rival teams that come to mind for me when I think about UMass basketball are Temple and URI. We might have a game against Temple next year at the Mohegan event depending on results, but I've missed th...
