I'm with you, Steve. Thought they played a hell of a game. Based on the previous games, I thought they'd get blown out. All facets looked better.

Unfortunately, think it will take a couple more years, but staying the course here will pay off.

Yup, think Rene said it on a podcast, too. I'd dump a bunch of NIL into Oline and run the crap out of the ball. Corners and an edge rush on D, too. Turn UMass into Line U.

A name to watch for, KJ Perry. A talented JuCo player with a lot of schools interested in him. He spoke highly of us, but I think a P5 will offer him more than we can afford.

Check out Steve81's post in the Kent St. football thread. Are we short funds because the new expected MAC media rights deal hasn't materialized yet?

If that's the case, it would be great to know the details of that.

Think MassMutual logo is on the Celtics uniforms. Would love to seem them be more involved with UMass. Otherwise, State Street or Fidelity. We send plenty of students from Isenberg to those places. It'd be great to have further cross-over.


MassMutual on the Sox sleeve, no?


Ah, the Sox, yes ...

If we lose to Kent St., the UMass social media account will have the chance to do the funniest thing and tell it's fans to go home, look themselves in the mirror, and take ownership

I just listened to Jay Burnham's podcast with Rollie Castineyra. He's an interesting kid and I think I learned more about the team that I have in 5 podcasts with Frank.

Watch Rollie, and then start ...

I'll go with:

Brown
Banks
Ndjigue
DHS
Leo

Think it could become:

Carbuccia
Brown
Wimbley
DHS
Clerc

^ Disagree. We open against Marshall, who is decent. Brown is just an Exhibition game.

The Paradise Jam tournament is decent, as we'll play Charleston, Yale or UWGB, and then potentially Oregon St. We play Harvard, Lowell, BC, and FSU in succession before starting MAC play against Kent St. who will ...

Just remember folks, this is our fault:


Tough loss, but bye week = reset week. Players and coaches will put in the work, and as fans/supporters we’ve got to look in the mirror too...not just the keyboard.

Ownership > excuses #GoUMass 🏈

Kent St. actually played really well today and almost beat Buffalo. They look a lot better than us.

High school teams look better than us. This has been Walt Bell levels of bad so far. Should've given Don Brown some NIL $$.

I know we aren't just "building the foundation," right? We're ...

Expectation is absolutely top 3. If not, what is Frank even doing here?

I'll be disappointed with anything less than a tourney appearance. I'm really excited for this group.

Game slipped away due to turnovers in the 1st half, exactly what Coach H said would be critical. Like others, I'm not sold on Rose. He should be on a short lease against Bryant.

Positives are that the offense and special teams looked competent.

Huge negative is that the defense lacked aggression ...
