Story in the Athletic/NYT on Coen: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/678034 ... mom-death/

To bring this back around to the basketball forum and Albany thread, who's bringing signs tomorrow with their drive time and distance written on them? "I drove X miles and Y minutes to be here, Bamford can't drive 5 minutes to the football stadium"... probably a bit too wordy, but I'm ...

Classic body language: When Thorr spoke highly of UMass joining the MAC, Ryan had his head up the entire time. Because it happened, it's real. Then when Thorr spoke about stadium renovations and Ryan's vision of it, Ryan's head then went down for a bit. Because there is no real vision of ...

I just looked up Nate Guerengomba at Quinnipiac, who I totally forgot about. So far he's logged 2 pts and 6 reb on 1-7 shooting in 31 minutes played against St Johns and CCSU.

Shahid Muhammed only got on the court for 4 minutes in FSU's opener.

Cam Pellegrino at the Daily Collegian has started keeping track of former players at their new schools:

UMass transfer guard Marqui Worthy in his first two games for UC Riverside: 11/3 vs La Sierra | 16 PTS, 6 REB, 2 AST, 3 STL, 1 BLK, 70 ...

In the Thorr presser yesterday, Ryan said part of the reason he wanted to hire a deputy AD for football was because his office is in the Mullins Center and he can't get to the football performance center as often as he'd like, which is probably within line of sight after the leaves have dropped, and ...

Count me as someone who appreciated Harasymiak putting the hammer down on the player after the taunting penalty. I wish that he didn't have to make that walk by himself on national TV, maybe send a lower level assistant or manager or somebody down there to talk to him, but it's 100% the correct move ...

My comment on the thing where Thorr came up with a bad idea in the ticket office: It's a shame that it turned off so many dedicated fans at the time, but I'm not going to hold it against him. It was ≈30 years ago and it sounds like he's beloved by everyone he's worked with. I imagine he's grown and ...

It's just a place holder word for "soon-to-be AD at UMass."

He is the GM basically for football.


He's the AD in waiting.


I think you're both right. Haven't listened to the press conference yet, but I think Bamford's motivation for seeking out help on the football side is that if (when ...

Can someone explain to me why DHS only played 18 minutes last night? I know he didn't have a great game, but you have to give him a chance to get it going, especially considering the alternatives. One of Frank's weaknesses at UMass has been benching his best players to "teach them a lesson" or ...

^ I can just about guarantee that he's going to get out on a fast break and dunk on somebody. He started and played 29 minutes against Marquette last night. 8 points, 3 turnovers, 1 rebound and poor shooting numbers against superior competition.

I liked Tarique. His build and game reminded me of ...

My goal for the OOC is:

- Win the next 3 convincingly, building cohesion and chemistry.
- Play well in the USVI. Don't have to win the whole thing, but go 2-1 and be competitive in the loss.
- Come out firing on all cylinders heading into the Harvard, Lowell, BC, FSU stretch and go 3-1.

That's 11 ...

One of my favorite sites, Sports-Reference.com, is also using Cloudflare, apparently for site defense and traffic management.

This site showed some 503 and Resource Limit errors again a couple days ago, so those are still coming and going. I may still turn Cloudflare back on here.

Yeah, I found that odd as well. Placide got in the game before him, which surprised me.
