Re: Game 1, 2025: Temple (H, 8/30)

Decent movement on the second drive but stalled out. Kicked a nice looking 40 yarder.

Then forced a punt out of Temple. Not a bad first quarter right there. 10-7 lead and starting the second with the ball.

Re: Game 1, 2025: Temple (H, 8/30)

First drive had a couple of mistakes (a couple of near interceptions), but they overcame them! TD to start the season. It was a good looking drive with a nice run game and good blocking.

Re: Average Age of UmassHoops.com diehards



Maybe you could tell new people they are free to browse but membership is closed at this time.


I just have to come up with a better process. There's some people out there who've wanted to join and I shouldn't be alienating them. We could use a few fresh takes.


I think we could use a LOT of ...

Re: Average Age of UmassHoops.com diehards


I'm not helping bring the average age down. Long story short, I've been really lazy about admitting new members. It's time consuming and has fallen way down my priority list.

The alternative: to just open the doors and let anyone in, is not a good one. When I've done that in the past, new ...

As much as I love the message board format and prefer it over twitter, I don't think the younger crowd really knows about this site or has much interest in it, which is a shame because Mike does such a great job not only with the board but with the historical database on the main page. If they ...

I guess I'm not the youngest here, since there are others in their 30s.

I'm basically 100% certain I bring the average down because I graduated less than 20 years ago (16 years ago).

Re: McGuirk Upgrade




Let the Band Play - The band is much much better than the DJ - that costs nothing to fix.


I agree 100%. While it is a matter of opinion about what sounds better (DJ vs Band), I don't think there's any question that a band adds something uniquely "college football" to the atmosphere while a ...

Re: Conference Realignment

Latest is that the SBC and Ohio are likely not moving. They might plan for 2030/31 though when most media contracts are up for renewal for G5s.

IDK, A lot of people rate Buffalo high. I placed them a peg down but not 11th.


I don't see us coming in last, but 7th? That would be one hell of a good start to rejoining the MAC ...

Re: Conference Realignment

It's certainly all about football...but also markets (the real reason Rutgers got in the B1G...they have an alltime losing record, a single claimed national championship (in 1869) and a single conference championship to their name). At this point we're mostly beyond that, outside of conferences like ...

That's definitely a good look for conference. Hopefully we can add to that record (positively) soon.

Re: Mid-season MAC check-up


Anyone do a wellness check on Steve81? These Maction bowl games are the greatest. Toledo just won in 6ot and the Mac is now 3-1 with another game tonight. Can’t wait for Umass to be playing in one of these.


Honestly it's been a really great bowl performance for the MAC so far. The wins have ...
