Re: 2023 Game 4: @ EMU

Very disappointing.
Penalties, turnovers, big play touchdowns
Davis is a fine QB, not putting this on him but this offense needs Puma’s legs to go with Lynch-Adams.

Re: 2023 Season

I think as the offensive line develops this year and going forward, the bulk of the running will be handled by the running backs. I don’t think the OLine is where it needs to be for Casula’s offense.

Re: Conference realignment

The A10 might just have the makings for adding football within its current make up. :wink:

Final
Fordham 40
Buffalo 37
Buffalo kicker was wide left to tie the game. Must be a Buffalo thing.

Halftime
Duquesne 10
West Virginia 14

Re: Game 3: Home - Miami Oh

I came across this in the NY Post. Great job by Brandon giving UMass and DB some exposure. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiz7PXD7pmBAxWhkokEHV29DRQQtwJ6BAgUEAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D9NMBNSUcTgA&usg=A...

Re: 🗣 UMass to the MAC: Dedicated Thread

^^^^ Also weird to be obsessed with the MAC. With all the conference poaching going on not one MAC school has even been considered by the big conferences. It’s just a boring mid major conference filled with directional schools that play second fiddle to other state U’s or large private/semi private...

Re: Conference realignment

I think the PAC 12 brand is better than MW brand. Oregon St should just invite all the Mountain West teams to the PAC 12. How long is the conferences agreement with the Rose Bowl I wonder? Not a bad deal for a conference champ and I assume better than whatever the Mountain West plays in That’s a po...

Re: Conference realignment

I was just listening to an interview with Gloria Nevarez, UMass Sports Management grad and Commissioner of the Mountain West Conference. She has a solid grasp of the athletic landscape and where the MWC fits in it. If they can add Oregon State and Washington State, the MWC will be just below the P4 ...

Re: Conference realignment

I’m not so sure the AAC still going to hold the line on their south only criteria. O State and W State are no longer an option. He can’t raid the MWC, it’s a better conference than the AAC at this point. With the addition of Cal, Stanford and SMU to the ACC I can see an exodus of teams like Fla Stat...

Re: Conference realignment

Best episode yet, well at least the first half. Once they got into the transfer portal and NIL, I tuned all the way out. Regurgitating the same talking points that we've all heard a dozen or more times from him and others. The discussion on the current state of the A10, however, was good. Rothstein...

Re: Week 0, Game 1: NMSU First of 2 ESPN Saturday games.

With so many new faces on this team it was impressive how they hung together, trusted each other and made plays to close out and win the game. Impressed by both the players and coaches with what they have built in such a short time together.
Go UMass!!

Re: Conference realignment

UMass needs to find like minded institutions who are frustrated with their stagnant conferences, who view conference championships as the goal and NCAA tournaments as a venue to show their quality. Universities who want to build a conference and develop revenues streams rather than wait for the pow...

Re: Conference realignment

Bamford has been in Amherst for nine years. Its his department, they are not in a conference after nine years. this is 100 percent on him. How about the UMass administration? If they set a goal of upgrading conferences and Bamford has not achieved that, why would they allow him to stay? My guess is...

Re: Conference realignment

Getting into the AAC would be incredible. Good basketball schools and it would bring the Temple rivalry back on the schedule. Can we at least get some kind of update from Bamford? There's a lot of talk about what Bamford does and does not deserve credit/blame for, but if he was to secure a conferen...
