Just curious, some six weeks since the poll closed, has anyone had second thoughts or revelations about their choice? Since my first hoops game, where they closed the doors about 20 seconds after I walked in (and very early in the JV game), to trips to the NIT, to my introduction to lacrosse, to goi...

^ I'm thinking that it is good thing to occasionally recall our heroes like the Big Deli, Jeff Salovsky.

That right there is a good example of how NOT to sell this to the people that don't like the MAC move.

My first thought was that we could recruit Wally Cleaver to go up against Eddie Haskell.

I have never heard a color analyst go silent for several minutes until tonight. UCant ladies went through about a four minute scoreless stretch and there was not a single word uttered by the lady analyst (who overall did a decent job). Maybe she had to visit the ladies room? Now we need the sled dog...

For Reporter #1
Been there, done that. Fergetaboutit.

Yes, I know these are rhetorical questions, but such is the life of a mid-major and defines my reluctance for the whole deal.

^^^For Reporter #3 Here are this year's results: https://sunbeltsports.org/sports/2023/11/1/general-untitled-sportfile.aspx Seems like a fun concept. I'd be curious about any thoughts for football results with the same matchups and any thoughts about how UMass would fare in this challenge (both hoop...

How many UMass athletes take advantage of the (I assume, still outstanding) Sports Management program offered at UMass? If I'm getting insufficient playing time at a middling mid-major college (aka UMass), I'm likely going to acknowledge that moving to another mid-major ain't going to get me very fa...

To me, it seemed that the injury was too convenient. We had some significant pressure going on and, IIRC, had control of the puck in the offensive end when the whistle blew. If the defense had control or the puck was out of the offensive end, then stop the clock. It's a slippery slope to not address...

Chief Jay Strongbow, the Pride of Pawhuska Oklahoma.

Your point is taken. I was probably mesmerized by the warm-up mask. Is Ivan Putski a valid hero to root for? Polish Power!

Mil Mascaras remains my all-time favorite wrestler. He is 81 years old now.

If we lose three games in the MAC season, lose three games OOC, and lose in the MAC final, do we still get an invite to the Big Dance?

Amherst vs Amherst? https://www.gazettenet.com/Future-MAC-rivals-UMass-and-Buffalo-want-Amherst-trophy-54382431#:~:text=Buffalo's%20North%20campus%2C%20which%20contains,geographic%20rival%20in%20the%20MAC.

My biggest sticking point remains the fact that the MAC is only getting one hoops team into the Big Dance each year. Tough to convince a player that he will get a solid chance to play in the Big Dance (and generally as somewhere around a seventh seed) especially if he can come up big and lead the te...

Promising season. Provides hope for the future.

To quote a Cage crowd from the mid 70's, "NIT..NIT..NIT"

I'd take it at this point. Could see the NIT matching us up against a MAC team.
