Looks like Merrimack has a pretty good defense and run game while their passing game is almost non-existent. Also looks like the Rbs do the bulk of the work with the Qbs not really running... Obviously can't sleep walk here.. Play with intensity and get a blowout win. Would love to see Puma and KLA play only a half.

UMass definitely has the size and speed advantage over MU. If MU runs a hurry up offense and keeps the UMass offense off the field, it could be close, or at least closer. Wonder if MU will bring a lot fans as they get good crowds at their home games.

It’s almost 90 miles from MC to UM; just about the outer limit for EMass travelers

I grew up in Methuen, 1:40 door to door from my house to the UMass campus with no traffic. Merrimack is about the same distance. Just win, we can’t afford to lose to any New England schools not named BC or UConn.

Get the W. Wish I could be there, but I'm still boycotting based on the hideous PA system that UMass AD Bamford insists on using to obnoxiously barrage our eardrums with by playing awful "music" between every single play. You can't hear the UMass Marching Band and you can't even have a discussion with your fellow fans b/c Bamford's idiot DJ has been set loose to destroy any gameday enjoyment that we might have had. So enjoy homecoming - I'll be home watching and betting on Breeders Cup races. Go UMass !!!

You could use ear plugs or quality noise reduction earphones & make signs to communicate with those sitting around you.

^ Sit in the old home side; plenty of sun, plenty of room and the noise is on the other side of the field
Stayed when they switched home side a few years ago.

I have some tix available for the game this weekend. $23 each, and that helps my STH partners recoup their $ from games they couldn't make it to this year. Digital transfer on these. Appreciate it if anyone needs, send me a PM.

Good lord Maz......

Whooping an FCS team is not much different than that Trans power lifter obliterating the "female" record.

Take joy in the win (any win) don't revel in the opponent in a situation like this.

Signs are always a good idea.

It's kinda crazy that they still haven't figured out this in-game music thing. The Mullins can get bad too, but McGuirk is awful.

And it's not so much what they play or the simple fact that the fill some space with non-Marching Band music, all schools/stadiums do these things.... it's the frequency, it's the volume, and that it comes out of a very poorly calibrated speaker system. It is a terrible recipe.


Anywho, can't wait to be there Saturday!!!

[umassbaseball]

Excited to be there Saturday as well. Hopefully they've learned some awareness with the Don Brown "yeah buddy" on first downs. That was very awkward and tough to listen to down 32 against Arkansas State. Hoping the fans show up and we enjoy another win!
