It shouldn't take half a year to negotiate a simple extension.

Re: New UMass coach Matt McCall

It would be nice if we had a reporter who would ask these obvious questions.

Probably offensive quality control, old friend Shane Waldron coaches for the Rams as well.

Re: FBS Playoff


UCF is the 2nd largest college in America by enrollment. You are in Florida and in the south, I do not believe that taking a position at Nebraska would be the right move. Times have changed, Nebraska isn't the hot spot it used to be.

The latest rumor is Jimbo Fisher to Texas A&M, now that would ...

Re: FBS Playoff


With so many coaches getting the ax will Lane Kiffin hang at FAU or will he be offered a power 5 job. He has done a remarkable job in his first year. Also if I was Scott Frost I wouldn’t take the Nebraska job but I have a feeling he will


I think something could open up for Lane, but, maybe not ...

Re: FIU

Marquis has a better shot at 1,000 seeing as he will need just under 150 yards. Ford will need to throw from more than 400 yards, something he hasn't done all year.

Re: Game # 11: BYU

We beat BYU. In Provo. In Football. Get over the minor mistakes and issues that happened within a huge WIN.

In the Mississippi State game, MS was up 7 in the 4th quarter and really could have run down our throats as they showed in the 3rd quarter, but on a 2nd and 1 Dan Mullen called a WR pass. We ...

Re: Game # 10 Maine @ Fenway Park


Interesting comments from Dewey:

"Because of the field’s tight proximity to the stands along the first baseline, both teams will have their benches on the other sideline with their backs toward Fenway’s landmark left field wall.

Whipple said compressing two teams on one side will cause the ...

Re: Game 1 (2017) Hawaii



Everything here has been said, but put me in the category that the game has passed Whipple by. Depressing to read the comments after the game. The players seemed torn up, and Whipple made it sound like he just had finished a sub-par round of golf. I can't stand the lack of attention to special ...

I believe they flew out of Hawaii Tuesday afternoon, arrived into New York on Wednesday morning. Been staying in Springfield since then.

Re: McGuirk Upgrade

The mock ups are still there, they are selling recruits on them. Wins and a big spike in attendance will help the argument to retool McG, but a new conference will be the kicker.

Re: 2017 Season


Any news on the woeful kicking game? I am assuming Laurent is still our guy - that is the only name I have heard?

The kicking game has cost Umass roughly 6 or 7 wins over the last 3 years - and that is a shame. I find it hard to believe we cannot find one guy who can make 80% from inside 45 yards ...

Re: 2017 Season

There is a media blackout which has nothing to do with Umass Athletics. The Gazette and the Springfield papers are allocating almost ZERO resources to Umass sports so they have blacked themselves out to a degree.

I am sure Matty can shed a little more light on this.

That's what happened with ...

Re: 2017 Season

At least as far as this year goes, it seems like they are keeping things tight lipped. I would guess access has been limited for the media. In the past Matt has written articles frequently over the course of camp.

Whipple isn't very tight lipped, that's how we find anything out.

And ...

Re: 2017 Season

This years coverage of camp has been a little disappointing. In years past there was videos every other day and articles written daily on our players. Over the years the articles are always the same for any football team....."we've gotten better this offseason, can't wait to hit someone else in a ...
