Oh I don't care. It was 30 years ago. What I dont do is act like umass has some blue blood hoops program because they had a good 5 year run 30 years ago with a few good years sprinkled around. Same could be said about football program. Honestly....I could get on board if bammy wasn't around. I know...

I think the consensus is that the BC game is going to get moved, with the possibility of Missouri moving as well. Next year should be UConn, Temple, Iowa, Missouri or G5/FCS replacement, 8 MAC games. And God willing, the MAC Championship game :lol: :lol: :lol: Really should just sign a P4 NIL kicke...

I’m not typing that guy’s name out every time. :lol: He shall be JH henceforth. Good hire. I will not offer the first “we gotta get rid of this guy” but somebody’ll say it sometime. Typing it is one thing, pronouncing it is quite another… :lol: :lol: Anybody know to say his last name? Hara sim’ eee...

Good chance Neal Brown gets fired in a few hours.. not sure how I feel about him. I know he did very well at Troy, but we'd be getting a guy on the way down and not on the way up. If he's available and has that buyout, he's the guy we'd want. But the reality is that as an OC at an SEC school, which...

Joe Harasymiak is an interesting name. From north Jersey, played at Springfield College, and brought Maine to an FCS semifinal and earned FCS coach of the year honors. Since then he's been with Minnesota as a positional coach and is currently at Rutgers as DC. If being from the NE, having FCS head ...

Now that there’s a vacancy, who do you think is the best bet to finally bring UMass football to some sort of respectability? Personally, I’d take this list, sort by winning percentage, and consider anyone with a good percentage who has coached more than 20 games and who is not looking to retire in ...

There have been some developments in the business that will impact UMass. 1 is the Big 12 expansion with 7 schools that don’t include UCONN. Another is the impending ACC breakup, even if it’s 2036. The Big Ten and SEC will add some schools from the ACC and it will likely result in the Big 12 adding...

Make it happen We are getting to the point where it’s almost logical for the @ConferenceUSA to just add UMass Football & Buffalo for a northern leg as Delaware refuses to read the tea leaves and upgrade to the MAC with UMass for all sports. At least UMass & UConn for football only. https://u...

I'm still curious how that was a given. I've heard that argument over and over and over again. Maybe, MAYBE, with DK's recruiting ability, it was possible... and that's a stretch because we all know how his coaching ability turned out. Our recruiting level would have dropped significantly going fro...

You making a huge assumption that big boy football has led to the number of applications. If this assumption was right, wouldn't there be a greater student attendance for football and then for basketball? You’re making an assumption that people apply to attend sporting events. That is not the argum...

The Atlantic 10 is irrelevant and becoming more so everyday, the problem is the MAC is doing nothing either. I think we would be just trading one set of problems for another. I don’t know who said it but the Sun Belt has been very proactive and aggressive. UMass has zero chance for the Sun Belt. CU...

It was a given that joining the MAC meant a better chance of basketball tourney auto-bids. I'm still curious how that was a given. I've heard that argument over and over and over again. Maybe, MAYBE, with DK's recruiting ability, it was possible... and that's a stretch because we all know how his c...

All in one place. UMass to the MAC. Go! Why...
