Re: Game 1, 2014-15: Siena

A few other game experience comments: Why doesn't the dance team and cheerleaders do more group performances? One per game is all they did I think. Lastly, my section (Y) was practically ignored on the t-shirt tosses. These are all not a big deal to me of course but my son noticed all of these thin...

Re: 2014-2015 Rankings, Polls, Bracketology

Random question but some of the RPI sites and computers already have listings out even when they haven't played a game. Anyone able to explain where the computers get these numbers from when a game hasn't been played? Based on historical results?

Re: UMass Football going Independent

I don't mind playing some midweek games, it is great for exposure especially if the team can put a good product on the field and the students show up. I think having 2 weeks off has really magnified the non-Saturday issue. It also doesn't suck having the afternoon/evening to watch some of the great ...

Re: I really think the time has come to can McCutcheon

In My Humble Opinion the Athletic Director has done a mediocre job. Nothing to write home about BUT he is in a very very difficult position. There are not many schools that play in as many different division 1 conferences as UMass, this helps give each team the ability to play against the best compe...

Re: Lots of promotions

Ha ha I thought the same thing! Was wondering if there were some improvements in the marketing department. Will be interested to hear what the in game experience game is like this year.

"Remember all the little moments that were good, cheers" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfG8tNb6LlQ I'm a believer that you have to celebrate the wins and making tournament after such a long drought constitutes a win. I don't think this should be a huge celebration and frankly I think DK ...

Re: McGuirk Upgrade

worrying about where you take a leak 5 times a year is hardly a priority for the program. You are right, as usual. If they can save money, they should simply remove all bathrooms and the plumbing. :roll: You are wrong, as usual. Nobody is proposing to remove all the restrooms. The issue is what is ...

How does he rank for yards per game? Total yards can be skewed since different teams have bye weeks at different times throughout the season.

Re: 2015 Recruiting

So where are we on QB's after Froh is gone next year? While AJ as a RS SR and might be capable by then, i'd rather UMass has a guy with multiple years left. 3 would be ideal so do any of the guys this year have promise? Recruits?

Re: Game 8: Eastern Michigan

This team seems to have played to, or in actuality just under, it's level of of competition. So i'm shocked the line is this high. It will be really interesting to see not only how they handle the mobile qb but if the defense plays well whether the offense can put the hammer down. The team seems rea...

If we win, I think we go on a 4 game win streak and even our record. If we lose, I honestly have no idea what happens to our season.
How pissed will the MAC fans be if that happened and we made a run at bowl eligibility?!?!

Re: future scheduling talk

So I did a little research last night, and here is a list of FBS teams that would likely play in McGuirk (as opposed to teams that would only play us in Gillette) and still have an available 2016 out of conference game. FAU La Tech Marshall MTSU North Texas Rice Southern Miss UTEP UTSA Ball State B...

Looks like independent for at LEAST THREE years! : Was really hoping by 2018 there would be a conference championship to play for and access to a bowl. 2018 UMass Football Schedule: Sept. 1 - at Boston College Sept. 15 - at Florida International Sept. 22 - CHARLOTTE Sept. 29 - at Ohio Nov. 3 - TROY ...
