For clarification purposes, do you have to move out of the dorm and go back home to qualify as “re-signed”? Or not?

What the heck!!!

They used to have to re-recruit guys after they arrived sometimes. Do these guys qualify for another recruiting visit…lol!!

What's the scouting report on Pop? I see that he's listed at 5'11", so he's undersized for a QB, but obviously must be pretty talented. Is he a dual threat guy, pocket passer, etc., what's the story?


Virginia Tech was 3-9 this past season.
Their stats show that he played in 4 games:
Passing
2-4 ...

They have a few upcoming new homes, Bentley, Tsongas and Portland (vs Maine) , and Walter Brown.
Would guess HE would want Walter Brown.

2-0 over BU.

Lost 1-0 yesterday to BU. Had some good scoring chances but couldn’t capitalize.

I’m encouraged by the performance though. One thing to work on is faceoffs. Seems like every game UMass is dominated in the faceoff circle. Another chance tonight at Agganis.


Not to dwell on the negative, BUT….18 ...

MEAC as well.

UMass vs. UMes would be a good rivalry!

If memory serves from some previous visits, UM fans would be treated to some top level bands for football!

I have double and triple checked….looks he was the Packers leading receiver with 15 yards on 2 catches !!

Can’t let one player get 47…….

Don’t know if it’s just the TV image vs in-person; but take away the glasses and the BG Coach has a Jack Leaman look!

As someone said, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. That said, it's interesting that Madison announced he was entering the Portal on 11/17 and he dropped this on the day the Portal opened. Looks like it was designed to inflict maximum damage.

Scorecard lists 22, plus the 3 guys in tournaments

FYI….UMass won 7-0. They’re played a 5-minute OT and a shootout too.

How did they do in the shootout?

Nor are a lot of other guys, either.
UM live stats show 14 skaters, 24 on roster.

Great goal! Awful uniforms!!

Somewhat concerning that Banks was again unable to get virtually any open 3 point looks, even against a D3 opponent. They need to figure out a way for him to get some open shots because, as we saw on Saturday, Bettiol and DHS can't score enough to beat good D1 teams.

We got no business playing this team. Could we not get a game with Rhode Island , BU, Maine, Sienna or Albany.

This game is an embarrassment.
