Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

All the others wanted this move, Frank not so much . How do we know this? We don't, to be certain. Only Frank and his closest circle knows for sure. Maybe I'm assuming too much, but I don't think it's much of a leap to think that Frank would rather be leading a team within the A10 than the MAC. 8th...

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

7:30 is a bit weird. Does it help attendance by making it easier for people to get out of work and make the trek, hurt attendance since the game is later and it's a work/school night, or does it not matter? It was listed 7:30 from the start of the season. Entirely possible they did it expecting tha...

Re: Game 30, 2023-24: Fordham (3/6)

Two things. 1. Let's send this team into the A10 tournament with a huge crowd. I urge everyone who can make it to get to the game. Hoping for 5,000. :?: 2. Does anyone know why the game is at 7:30 and not 7:00? It's only televised on ESPN+, so I doubt it's a TV issue. Maybe because it is our last g...

Re: A10 Standing/Seeding Changes Discussion

Just found another odd scenario, however unlikely, that we climb to 4th for the double bye. First, we win on Wednesday, so we're 11-7. VCU loses both of their games (Duq. and @ Dayton), they are 11-7. SBU loses 1 of their games (not likely) GW, SLU, so they finish 10-8. In a 2-way tie with VCU we w...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

Coaches love to say scheduling challenging games OOC is difficult. In truth many coaches (to include Frank) like to rack up easy wins out of conference. The result is that you do not have a chance for quadrant 1 or 2 wins and your net is bad. I reviewed IVY League teams and found 4 with signifcantl...

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

The argument goes beyond conference, if you want a competitive NCAA basketball program, you put the resources behind it (compensation, etc) that you need. Any criticisms that you think are valid apply to being in the A-10 just as much as the MAC. I hope you are right. What's done is done. I guess f...

Rasool made play of the game - blocked shot and retrieved ball to Curry. Rasool 4-6 from 3, rest of the team 1-18.
Yes, but what about the Bamford reference?
Bamford’s dad was an AD at Plymouth State in NH.

Re: First reaction: UMass to the MAC

That's too bad. Should've cut football. What a totally misguided and uninteresting drain on resources. Cut football? FBS actually utilizes fewer resources than FCS. He said cut football, not go to FCS, although I join others in waiting to see the actual FBS v FCs P&L statement. It gets repeated...

Re: Coach in 2025-26?

Generally a good idea to support your bosses decisions in public. He’ll likely be gone before we start MAC play. This decision will prove to be an absolute disaster. He may leave. He might stay. He is a guy who touts loyalty. He is extremely grateful to UMass for hiring him when very few were even ...

More likely to have 4 20 team conferences. Possibly 5 16 team conferences. 80 is the likely number of total FBS schools, maybe a hundred, but probably not.

Re: Game 28, 2023-24: at GW (2/27)

Nice to grab a road win. Thought most of the 1st half they were very good. Right before the half they lost focus, and even Marlboro voice was commenting on how GW was getting stops, but really we were throwing passes away and turning it over. Was hoping it was a 30 pt blowout, but I'll take the 12 ...

Re: UMass is back in the MAC

I expect SEC to add 4 and Big Ten to add 2. ACC may implode.. we may find ourselves in the AAC, ACC, or Big East by the end of the summer.. Don’t know if it will be that fast, but I do agree it will not be long. I read that the Big Ten and SEC plan is to go to 20 and have 4 divisions of 5 teams set...

Not in Spam. Called and they said I could still renew…..how nice of them…
Did they have an incorrect email? I’ve had tickets for 25 years and never had them forget or miss sending me renewal information. We have until April to renew.
