Year 1 ain't great, but it is just that. No reason, yet, to quit on Coach Joe. Upper leadership needs to go, though.


Year 1 ain't gonna be great if Coach H's NIL funding wasn't available until July 1, 2025. Which - reading between the lines - is precisely what the situation was that Coach H ...

No disrespect to the hockey program, I am a devoted fan. But the revenue sports are football and basketball.

Hockey sells tickets and brings in revenue…making it a revenue sport.


Hockey is the only program that attracts fans. Generally has a good turnout.

As I said I’m not disrespecting ...

Why should we forgo football at UMass because of an administration that can’t manage the money sports within athletics. D3 AD Bamford can’t handle making decisions regarding football and basketball because those are the most visible and under the most scrutiny. He can handle the non revenue sports ...

It's absolutely unreal watching those whiff tackle attempts. Another one on the latest CMU td.

Tackling is not a skill taught at UMass.

Is RJ still able to play one more year in college based on the new rules?

Great to see Andy back on campus helping with the boys.

see my comment. Even if Buffalo had all 3 time outs with a minute to go; aren't they out of time outs on 4th down?????? You run the ball 4 times.



Nope, only 3 times. As soon as you run on 4th down and get down, assuming short of the 1st down, the clock stops for the turnover on downs. You ...

There are no words for that last offensive possession.
Who’s ever responsible should have moving boxes left at their door.
I feel bad for the players, best effort since the win over Army.

This program needs to be torn down to the studs and rebuilt with the goal of being fast and physical. Players, coaches and support staff who don’t want to comply need to be shown the door. Time to workout, practice and play like a Minuteman. Bring back guys like James Ihedigbo, Rene, Kole Ayi ...

Feels very much like we're reaching a watershed moment. Coach Joe is making some very strong statements and I'll be interested in seeing what changes he makes this week. Hopefully starting with firing the offense coordinator, who he was apparently forced to hire by Bamford. What have we had, 3 TD ...

Another commitment for Coach Leflar.

Cal is prepared for everything.

Serious question, for a change. With all of the recruiting Frank is doing, he is obviously preparing for a number of exits after this season. The official roster has 5 guys listed as seniors or grad students. Daniel, Banks and Brown are the 3 big ones. Anyone have a good handle on whether this is ...

Class of 2026 G Jahda Swann @Jahdaswann4 of Thomas Jefferson will visit UMass next weekend and Hofstra the following weekend, per coach Bud Pollard

From what I saw, his visit is now scheduled for 10/10 and I hope he takes it. He was offered by Kansas and ...
