So the MAC is losing one of their best football programs, and simultaneously retaining one of their worst basketball programs?

Great

Or is NIU expected to join another non-football conference?

Anybody see the movie “The Brutalist”? Well Brutalist architecture is in now. Maybe we can designate McGuirk as an example, and secure state funding for preservation, restoration and improvements. Just kidding…kind of. I'm not giving McGuirk any grace, but I think it's pretty cool that SOM designed...

I really hope the playoff stays at 12, but 16 teams max. 24 teams is ridiculous. Might as well go to a field of 64 at that point :lol: The thing that people always failed to realize is that when it was 2 or 4 teams, the college football season was basically a 3 month playoff from August until early...

At least we'll be relatively well-resourced for a change. Maybe we can pay off the crew to save us a spot in a lifeboat.

Fbs will never ever ever work in amherst. Not at umass. Need a new stadium. The football facility is the welcome center size of most other facilities in the country. Need a athlete only nutrition and dining center. Need support from town of amherst, north hampton and other surrounding dinky towns t...

Bumping McKinney's graphic design work from 2019, he did a nice job. You can make the current stadium a nice place to play Eldon That bird's eye view brings a tear to my eye, it's beautiful.

Appreciate the kind words.

Love the concessions upgrades. That's fun.

^ nice breakdown and added context. Are those figures OOC only or for the whole season? Thanks! Whole season. But I think it shows some of the challenges we might face following the strategy of digging our way out of the MAC SOS by having as strong an OOC as possible. Getting those Q1 and Q2 games ...

Preech, I don't know how you say that with such certainty. 6 of the MAC schools had better OOC schedules than we did. Non-Con SOS last season: Akron - 11 Toledo - 51 Kent St - 61 No. Illinois - 62 Buffalo - 116 Western Mich - 213 UMass - 233 ------------------------ Miami - 254 Central Mich - 269 O...

...and a well thought out transit system to move people to and from the stadium because we all know the tree huggers will not stand for condensed parking lots close to and around the building. Hey now Eldon, I think the tree huggers would generally approve of the parking lots at UMass that have sol...

^Joleon, I think your point illustrates why I think I'm warming to the new proposed model in college sports, where the athletic departments pay the players directly. We'll finally have an idea of what the budget is and how it's being spent , and they can stop asking me to fund the team for $25/mont...

CT roots for the Yankees. They're not New England.

Excellent article. Thank you Ed for all that you do.

Westfield is cute town. Definitely underrated.

Plus Southwick is right there. So if those people are more "grounded in your reality".... Personally, you couldn't pay me to live there again and I've lived in rural Alabama.
