:cry:
Diju watch the games? 2013 team was much much better than 2012. CM significantly improved the Morris debacle he inherited. Whip is in a much better place personnel wise than CM was.

This is such a non-story. It's just a guy having some fun, rating teams with a minimal amount of effort (he did seed us as the third worst team), then running a bunch of computer simulations. If the computer had given us 3.7 more points against North Texas, we would have been out in the second round and this story may have appeared here, but the remarks would have been about at least we're not the worst.

To put things in perspective, the story generated 6K Shares (and that is for 16 schools). Looking further down the list a story about Jim Harbaugh's khakis got 5.1K Shares. So I guess that means 900 more people care more about UMass football than they do about Jim Harbaugh's pants?

The school whose logo you see at left fielded one of the worst college football teams of any decade. From 1990 through 2000 -- so 11 seasons in all -- the ol' alma mater finished 3-105. That stretch featured eight winless seasons and losing streaks of 44 (including the first five games of 2001), 40 and 26 games.

By comparison, in my four years there, Oberlin was a torrid 11-28.

The Yeomen's head coach of the last 15 seasons just stepped down last month with a 42-108 overall record, 3-7 this past year. He made it to .500 three times, but Oberlin still has not had a winning season in football since 1974.
