Re: Festivus Holiday Post: Airing of Grievances About the Mullins Center (aka The Bill)

When the Mullin Center opened, Men's BB sold out the arena. Attendance will improve if the team consistently wins again. When that happens, improve the opponents that visit the Mullin Center. Yes. But, they still need to add rows closer to the court in the student endzone. The seats were closer whe...

Re: Conference Realignment

Another dagger to college football. The rich get richer. https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa-proposing-new-college-athletics-subdivision-rooted-in-direct-athlete-compensation-145051537.html Yeah - this would be the nail in the coffin for at least half of FBS football and an even larger percentage of D1 b...

Re: transfer portal 2024

Question. Players are allowed to declare for the draft then return to college with eligibility if they don’t like their projected draft status. What if this happens to KLA. Would he return to UMass or enter the portal? Nope. When they declare they are giving up any remaining eligibility. There is n...

Re: Game 5, 2023-24: South Florida (12/2)

People on Twitter say otherwise. And even if you're right, he can't sit someplace else? It has to be in our perpetually empty student section? No more bitching about student attendance if so. Students would probably want the student section to be a student section. He might be a nice guy. He defini...

Greenfield Recorder columnist Chip Ainsworth takes Bamford to task https://www.recorder.com/Keeping-Score-UMass-football-once-again-in-the-crossfire-53214869 It's a little unnecessary for Chip to report on the SID's salary. The guy's just doing his job. It's on Bamford to face the music in this one...

Re: Game 5, 2023-24: South Florida (12/2)

Can we get this fucking weirdo out of our student section? Bruh, relax. He’s a really nice guy with autism who is a diehard UMass fan. Has never done anything wrong. People on Twitter say otherwise. And even if you're right, he can't sit someplace else? It has to be in our perpetually empty student...

Re: transfer portal 2024

Just saw KLA declaring for the draft. Absolutely hate to see him leave, but it's the dream so I wish all the best for the kid. Was a pleasure watching him play this year, very talented. Best of luck to him in a pro career Lots of players declaring for the draft. pro day should be exciting. I get it...

Re: Conference Realignment

OK, think we are screwed. Bamford turned down the MAC in 2022 with WKU needing a partner and not sure our President will bless CUSA. If our AD is serious about the MAC, he needs to be at Ford Field for the MAC Championship game. Instead, he schedule Ed Ruben donation celebration at the basketball g...

Re: transfer portal 2024

How many times do I have to say this? I want the rule changed back to pre Covid, you guys don’t need to keep explaining it, I fully understand how the rule goes. It probably does level the playing field with coaches but how many coaches are going to 3 or 4 schools over a 4-5 year period? Answer: ze...

Re: transfer portal 2024

I'm hoping they do away with being able to transfer as an undergrad and not sit out. It's especially killing fan interest in basketball with all this team hopping. Division 1 was the only division that had the sit out rule. The one time transfer without sitting out is something I have gotten used t...

Re: transfer portal 2024

NCAA needs to reinstitute the sit out year if transferring between D1 institutions. Wasn't this only supposed to be during the beginning of COVID initially when they first did this? The kids entering the portal right now are all graduate transfers. The extra Covid year is a contributing factor for ...

Re: The football future poll

The crux of that story is right on the money - The northeast does not give a shit about college football like the rest of the country does. It never really has and it never will. Drop the mic.... While I’m not optimistic about the future of A-10 basketball this is the main point that the football s...

Re: 2024 Season

1 SEC team per year is awesome and fun. 3 in 1 season is a nightmare and too much. I do like that we have all of these MAC games, we can at least compete against that tier of talent. Army and Liberty should both be fun games again as well. I think it depends on which teams in the P5 we play. Yes, t...
