sure if he is going to retire I concur, but we need to go in new direction and find the right guy. take a look at Syracuse who is having a transformative season and will contend for ACC title next year.

Look at what Georgia Southern is doing after a coaching change. As a matter of fact it seems like teams we've played over the years that have sucked like FIU and GS have changed coaches are doing way better while we still suck. As for the band, if they keep playing Chopin and selections from the Doobie Brothers I dont care which side they play too. #boringestbandinamerica.

I completely agree that the band's musical choices are not what the Boston Pops would even play, and almost like a marching Orchestra. Not a big music follower, but I had no idea what they were playing at USF game.
Feeling entitled is JUST a feeling...

Hot take: The band director is terrible.
And we beat UConn... all is right in the world of UMass right now.
Stop waiting for UMass to do something big and help UMass do something big. - Shades

Never trust a man with three first names.
Raise the bar, do the minimum.

Well, that's a freakin relief...
No excuses that you can't be at the hoops game vs. Hahvud because you have to go to the Richard Thompson gig at the Academy that nite...
Phew!!!

I'm a band alum. The TTA is allowed to be criticized for his work with the band and the direction he's taken it in.

The band members are obviously talented. Let them have some fun. We are running the wishbone when most other bands are running the spread.
