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 come ag...

Re: Students

Oh, also back in the day there wasn't a hockey band. But not there is and it draws from the same students. That creates an even bigger time commitment for the kids.

It's tough. It can be fun if you do it right, though.

Re: Students

Former hoop band member here: There's only a stipend for the winter break, and is otherwise assignment based, with only the "top" players in each section technically being regarded as "important" for it. For the saxes that would be the ones up front on the mics (one per part), fo...

Being affiliated with Denver is a good move. Would love to see us play them more often in hockey!

And this is a good league, happy to see it. Happy to see Delaware in there with us as well.

Yup - very cool for them. The northeast was pretty solid this year for soccer as it turns out.

Re: Transfer Portal

Hairston sticking around and advocating for the team is what I want to see though.

Re: Joe Harasymiak New Coach!

Not a lot of years as Head Coach, but he did take Maine to a CAA Championship after years of them being underwhelming. He's got ties to the region, has been successful at FBS positions, and is only 38 years old.

^ 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 ...

Re: Head Coach Search 2024

Neil Brown has been fired! The inevitable has happened - now let’s see if UMass goes after Neal Brown, or more importantly, if Brown has any interest in coaching UMass. He'd immediately have the best head coaching resume at UMass of the previous 4 FBS coaches here. Hope he does have interest. He ju...

The expectation is that if he loses to Tech this weekend he'll be let go right after. If not, move onto someone else.
