Wow, we are the worst team in FBS, by a mile, and perhaps in D1 football overall . Sickening to watch, what are we doing? I'm out.

Welcome to being the worst in the MAC as well as the worst in FBS? 5 years at least, and before the MAC.

Why are you tiny faithful for FBS, yet seeing a positive outcome, given the portal and Nil? We lose our best and gain the 'never-wills'/4th stringers in return. It's the very nature of a death ...

Terrible ESPN+ coverage, keeps stalling, perhaps in reaction to the game? Stultifying. With limited NIL $$, this is what we get: with mediocre talent, lots of turnovers.

It's Monday, but there seemed to be low attendance and minimal energy in the building, even given that.

Like this weekend ...

Well, I 'win' as both teams split. Cornell looked strong - excellent skating and defense. They are fast and tough.

UMass did not look sharp at all live. Lots of poor passing, and several key penalties in 3rd (Most were bad officiating, imo)

Very low attendance, maybe 20% - Halloween Night 2? BTW ...

Thanks for the 'ribbing', guys. IV, always my stalker.

Cornell has not played a game yet this season and is ranked 20th. 2 games are scheduled in Amherst.

UMass is 5-2 and ranked 13th. UMass is 3-1 at home to date.

As a proud alum of both universities, I predict a UMass sweep. Weird to be cheering for both sides.

I'd LOVE to see these universities ...

OMG, this whole FBS 'experiment' has been such a shit show. Most students and alums couldn't care less about FB, much less FBS ranking.

We are in the least competitive FBS league, with ZERO relevant competitors, and pull up the worst ranking in their league and in FBS, overall, as well.

UM is a ...

OK, I have renewed my season tickets and paid for parking. But I'm a diehard and am willing to pay the price. However, the decrease in the number of casual fans and single game fans will be huge. I just don't understand the rationale.


Demand for Hockey tickets is somewhat inelastic, as the team ...

Updated list of recruits for the next year. 25-26.
https://www.insidelacrosse.com/recruiti ... ss/22/2025

As of now, we are ranked 42 in recruiting, tied with 4 other colleges, of 76.

A10 recruiting:

Richmond is 23.
St. Joe's is 25.
Hobart is 35.
High Point is 48.
St.Bonny is 48.

28-6 late in 3rd. Only TD is via an interception. We are now trapped near our own end zone with a MIzzou interception. 2 plays later, it's 35-6.

O has done nothing.

They got their homecoming win, fans are bolting, as am I

This week's Globe article says nothing but '$25M for this?' Most alleged ...

I call this progress over the insanity of P4 conferences, and the withering of the next 5. Good for Temple.

Outside of the P4, second-tier athletic programs will undoubtedly determine that the expenses outweigh the revenues and return to a more sane, perhaps limited, model of regional competition ...

One view of the game.

Given NIL and free transfers, the past predicts the future. We are in a perpetual cycle of anyone good leaving and 3rd/4th string arriving to 'hopefully' gain some cred for the next year somewhere else. It is simply worse than before, given the true professionalism of the major college sports

The ...

Done

Here is the Globe article: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/29/sports/greg-cannella-retirement-umass-lacrosse/?s_campaign=sharetool_copypaste_view

Again, a class guy. But the recruiting and funding aspects are where we seem to be challenged. Mass kids need to stay in Mass, a key challenge for ...
