Does anyone know why Jayden was in the dog house to start the season? He's doing exactly what he did last year now that he is playing a ton again. The situation is baffling. Frank wanted to go big and start Rivera at 3, but that strategy didn’t work. I’m a fan of Jayden’s game but it definitely wor...

If it is not just football then the reporting or communication from the school is suspect.

You seem surprised by that

Not surprised. My guess would be it was the communication from the school, not the reporting, based on the last two weeks.........

And only 4 signees today. BC had 27 for comparison BC also didn't just fire their coach. Uconn only has 11. UNC Charlotte, who also just fired their coach, also has 4 so far. I am sure that with conversations with Coach H going back a while - from the offer to accept acceptance - that he had a hand...

Football Scoop reported the entire staff was let go. https://footballscoop.com/thescoop/the-scoop-wednesday-december-4-2024 Wow, thought he may keep an Alex Miller and a chance for Shane Montgomery. Given their performance the last 4 games and wanting to keep some players from getting uneasy and ju...

Does anyone know if the 2 million in 2025 and 3 million in 2026 is just for football or the entire athletic department? If we go from low 6 figures to 2 million in one year for football NIL, that’s a heck of a commitment. I keep getting conflicting details, but most point to that being a combined f...

I think by 2026. I love this hire.

Didn't we lose like 50 players to graduation? Seems we got much work to do. Lets try to keep most of the current crop. Then build. No we did not. There were 30ish players who had eligibility expire. The extra two dozen or so are RSJRs who may or may not stay. They will graduate from UMass, but may ...

They weren't given funds by UMass that were promised and couldn't pay their bills or the players. Interesting that they could pay for the trophy though... What funds? Prior to 7/1/25 I didn’t think institutions could give any funds to collectives. They can not directly pay. They can direct or help ...

Can you share?

Now that the season is over, Simpson was kicked off the team for fighting with a coach. This info came from someone who is on the inside of the program. Good luck to any team that takes him as he has talent and hopefully matures. The other three are no loss at all to the program. There were a few p...

^ I don't know enough about his offense or football x's and o's to have a real opinion on if it will work here or not, but I do know that win or lose, high scoring games are more fun. The Liberty loss was competitive and fun (right up until the end) and the UConn loss was the same. Losing 35-30 is ...

Yesterday, I noticed UConn whole team second half warm ups. I don’t think I’ve ever seen UMass do that. UConn is not the only team to to warm up like this. I haven’t tracked it. I was wondering how many teams come out and have full team warm ups and whether UMass is in the minority for this. We are ...

Hairston, Haston and the RB room are all undergrads and good. I do not want Montgomery though.

I want Montgomery to be in play because of his experience in the MAC and how the offense has performed in the past two week. What gives me cause is that they continued to play Puma when it was obvious he wasn't getting it done, and just the overall poor play calling. I'm not sure if that had more t...

So I’m not sure how this can be done, but want to bookmark the thought. UMass needs to find a way to reach out to everyone who attends a game not just the person who buy the tickets. Maybe a kiosk to check in and enter to win a prize? I don’t know what, but my friends and I who have gone to one away...
