Re: KAEO: John Calipari
Just wanted to chime in briefly from Bangkok Thailand…. that ‘91/ 92 team with the players mentioned above was probably my favorite team in any sport at any level in my 68 yrs on this planet. The job that Cal did with that group was unbelievable, and wouldn’t have been possible without the Refuse to...

Re: Game 16, 2024-25: Dayton (1/8)
Great game to see in person…. my wife and I were on the edge of our seats on every play as it became more and more apparent that UMass was able to compete with these guys. I really like the physicality of the group without Curry and Malek on the floor….Worthy was outstanding at the point and Rivera ...

Re: Game 16, 2024-25: Dayton (1/8)
Mitchell matched Toppin step for step, if not outplayed him all together as a freshman. I remember standing next to Toppin after the game as they got ready to interview him; Mitchell’s best game that year was probably against URI…. he was unbelievable in that game and got ripped off by a bad call at...

Re: Game 16, 2024-25: Dayton (1/8)
Yes, we’ll be there as well…. Our last game before our Winter Hiatus to Thailand! Maybe they’ll put together their best performance of the season on $1 Hot Dog Night, but Dayton is pretty hungry too ( and pretty good)! Anyway, we’ll continue to follow from the Land of Smiles….

Re: Don Brown
Rumor has it some reps from Dancing With the Stars will be on hand Saturday to closely monitor the UMass Head Coach’s reaction after the game, if indeed they are fortunate enough to eke out a win against another hand picked FCS tomato can for Band Day. Evidently the producers viewed some footage of ...

Re: 2024 Game 7: Mizzou
Beautiful day for a game today! Let’s try to have some fun! Think of little McGuirk and all its warts and shortcomings as the beloved Cage of yesteryear…. it’s about the product on the field ( and court); when Cal started to turn the tide in hoop, we didn’t give two shits about The Cage, we embraced...

Re: 2024 Game 7: Mizzou
The weather is looking great! Looking forward to a big crowd and lively pregame festivities, and who knows, we were tied with Notre Dame at the half years ago in Indiana (we were there) …. of course they pulled away in the 2nd half, but still a great experience. This UMass team does have some talent...

Re: 2024 Game 4: CCSU
Wonderful time on campus pregame, as usual. I watched every minute of the game, as well as the locker room celebration and postgame presser by D Brown….evidently he thinks he just knocked off Missouri and his star QB is the front runner for the Heisman. I guess RB forgot to point out that they strug...

Re: 2024 Game 4: CCSU
I can’t really get excited for the game itself…. bringing in a local FCS team for Homecoming; we know how it goes… a sacrificial punching bag so everyone can have a good time visiting with friends and family, and not really worry about the outcome of the game. Everybody does it…. weren’t we Penn Sta...

Re: Ryan Bamford Fired?
I agree that time has run out as far as the current situation is concerned…. upper leadership needs to step in now to establish a new and improved course of action; the rest of the university is passing them by with a higher standard in most other areas; major front porch sports are an important ref...

Re: Ryan Bamford Fired?
Alot of thoughts, feelings, and opinions have been expressed here for years, not merely about the struggles of the Football program, but the other major front porch sport not played on ice. Let’s just look at the facts…. the football program has struggled for 12 years, including embarrassing perform...

Re: 2024 Game 2: @ Toledo
Some signs of encouragement in the 1st half; couldn’t sustain it in the 2nd half…. 0-2, on to Buffalo Things that jump out… giving up a kick return TD while you’re still celebrating your own score; taking your time with little regard to the time on the clock during the scoring drive preceding the il...

Re: 2024 Game 2: @ Toledo
Much improved showing so far; can’t give up a return while still celebrating a score! Puma looks much better…. hopefully they put together 2 solid halves!

Re: 2024 Game 1: vs. Eastern Michigan
You got that right, Floyd…. I’ll be listening or watching again next week! And who knows, maybe we’ll be singing “ Don’t Stop Believing” when it’s over!
