Re: Ryan Bamford




If you're making your decision on where to play football based on what a few fans are saying on a message board instead of actual football decisions, like the coach, the facilities, dining, education, etc., then you're probably too thin skinned and not cut out for competitive football.

Is it worse than losing to a 3-7 FCS team? This really might be the worse FBS season of all time.
Even though we did win one game, 2019 was really bad, too.

I'll let someone else chime in here.





Overall, much better game, but as is the UMass way: snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. Brutal finish to what should have been a win. The march to 0-12 continues.

Definitely a much better game considering the players effort and enthusiasm, and ...

Probably the best we can ask for at this point.

He went 0-10 last year and blew a 2 or 3 games with idiocy.. he deserved to get canned.
2-8
Sometimes I wonder if they ever should have fired Mark Whipple?

Re: 2025 Season



The school is trying to increase attendance at games, and single game tickets are now $50? That won't help attendance!


If true, incredibly shortsighted and dumb.

Edit-I checked the temple game and found general public tickets for $25 with youth tickets being $17. I also found more expensive ...

Re: McGuirk Upgrade



The locker facilities are pretty new and in good shape, the press box is also pretty new. The field itself is OK also .

So what needs to be done? The stands need to be replaced. Do the east side first with maybe a second deck but modern, individual seats with cup holders. After that is done ...

Re: State of the Progam

I’d love to see UNH or Maine come back to Amherst. I do miss playing both of them every year. I hope we manage to keep UConn on the schedule every year going forward, it’s great for both schools and solidifies our rivalry.

It'd be great to see UNH, Maine, or URI move up to FBS and become the ...
