Birmingham Southern is in the Big South Conference along with Liberty and Radford. It sounds like Dixie's version of the America East Conference.

Nice article about Osowski in today's Worcester Telegram & Gazette. I'd link the article, but they have a pay-per-view site.

Hopefully it gave folks time to calm down.

Swampy pretty much sums up my thoughts. You deserve an "atta-boy."

They mentioned something about naming the court after Jack Leaman in the UMass Magazine.

University of Texas is an abberation - it is unlike any other system in its wealth. I live in North Carolina - the state with the oldest public University in the country. UNC is also considered one of the best Universities in the country (public OR private). UNC has a significantly larger endowment...

To which large state Universities are you referring??? Please list the ones that "live off of the endowments and interest" and do not "depend heavily on state funding". UMass was ahead of its time in shifting the burden from the State to the students and thus has historically ha...

You forgot to list Sex as a newly created activity while you were at it. Seriously though, everything on your list was true 20 years ago when I was a student, except for the wired dorm rooms. I'm with kdogg, _that_ is the single biggest reason in attendance decline. You're saying sex didn't exist 2...

I'm happy to see Dr. J get more involved with the University.

Students have many more options today. Several years ago, the games were probably the ONLY happenings in the area. Now... 1. Many students go home on the weekends. I wonder if the percentage of students bringing cars to campus has increased over the past 20 years. 2. Following from #1, some students...

Hockey had one sellout this past season. Very impressive considering only 1,000 showed up per game four years ago.

Students I spoke with felt the Maroon Platoon was a ripoff. In fact, I saw one student wearing a T-Shirt that said Maroon Platoon above the number $20 with a cross through it. Bus trips are hard to pull off but can be successful. I'll never forget the Northeast/Orchard Hill bus trip to see the Lowe ...

Got anymore info? I'm curious to find out where they failed. I know they tried to have a Maroon Platoon section for hockey games and it failed. Members wanted to sit with their friends who weren't members; not in a special section. At least this signals they are giving it another try this season. It...

Sorry UMass02 wrong response. Meant it for the other person. Just getting angry at supposed UMass fans who label an individual a mental midget when he comes in and does everything right for our university's athletic program so far. Please accept my apology!!! :oops: Accepted :D I gotta hand it to M...
