2020-2021 - Tre Mitchell - First Team All-A10

Prior to that, 2005-06 - Lasme and Freeman

I honestly can't tell by your reply if my reference went way over your head, or I did something wrong in making the reference.

^ That's probably town-specific. I live in a town with their own fiber network and it's fantastic. Internet is much cheaper and faster than Comcast, but Comcast is still there for people that decide not to opt in to the town network. I don't get the Lappas reference. Did he have some connection wit...

Who the hell is Jesus H. Crist?

I didn't know about that, double bonus! The utilities part of it is good, no doubt (Lappas!)... the cable/internet usually isn't. You'll save a few bucks, sure, but the service is generally atrocious in these situations. Shrewsbury has a town owned utility/telecom (SELCO) and the telecom part is aw...

I would say there's a better chance of Mike Greenwell getting the MVP than UMass getting its Final Four formally reinstated.

Didn't really know where to put this, but seems like a money talks sort of thing. Reggie Bush got his Heisman trophy returned because in the current world of college sports he did nothing wrong. So, what he did was wrong 15 years ago, but it's OK now because it's now legal to give players bags of m...

No, Chancellor Lombardi's Inaugural Ball was at the Mullins Center.

No, but I went to Chancellor Lombardi's Inaugural Ball and it was one heck of an event. If folks are going, enjoy!


The U really knows how to put on an event when it wants to, that's for sure.

But it does infer that he has players committed but can't announce anything yet. He also said he had a visitor this week and another one is coming with his family this weekend.

Appreciate that.

Probably due to some bureaucracy in Whitmore.


Unless we hear it directly from a player or their camp, UMass is always slow to put out this type of news officially... nothing new here. Eye emojis and atomic bomb gifs are almost as annoying as the transfer portal itself. Almost.

Relative to UMMBB, it sucks that the UMass Gives campaign starts tomorrow. You'd love to go into it with a little positive momentum from the Portal, as in who we picked up, rather than just the six departures. Three of the guys have even announced new spots already. We'll get there, but this lull r...

Oh Berky, bless your heart

Yeah, lets just do the whole 1-A/1-AA all over again. Ugh.

Agreed on the freshmen. Historically they take time. It's even worse now since most are not walking into a situation where there is a good core that has been together for a few years they can learn from. It's much more like the wild west these days.
