Field Hockey scholarship promises unfulfilled.

A UMass athlete feels betrayed for losing most of her scholarship for lack of performance on the field. As usual, another UMass hatchet job by Hohler of the Globe. The xfer portal is discussed as to the availability of better athletes after commitments re made. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/06/29...

Re: Isaiah Rodgers

The pro sports embracing gambling is ALL about greed. Just like NIL and little or no supervision, nor consistent oversight. Many athletes are not geniuses, have no idea/nor care about previous gambling scandals, and both the pro sports and NCAA have apparently done too little to educate, nay warn, a...

Re: Coach Frank Martin

Lots of names were mentioned, only saw Frank once and it was not in SI. https://www.wvnews.com/bluegoldnews/wren-baker-begins-search-for-bob-huggins-replacement-at-wvu/article_681c9524-0e1e-11ee-ba2c-6b9c4effac1b.html Frank seems to repel more players than attract. Too old school? Dunno, but the mas...

Re: Game ?, 2023-24: vs West Virginia (Springfield, 12/16)

It's between Bobby Knight (RIP) and Thuggins for the MBB coach I most despise. WVU needs to move on.

Re: Realignment: Texas/OK->SEC; UCF, BYU, Ciny,Houston->BigXII-dominos

The Big 12 conversation is more and more about being elite in MBB, not just FB. Any mention of UMass having any boost toward being invited needs to check the possible/rumored entrants of UConn and Gonzaga, whose track records over the past 20 years speak for themselves. IMO, any view that a bad Patr...

Re: Series Against Harvard

Pretty clear that it is about attendance and brand. H stadium is much larger and those games could draw bigger crowds at H for both teams. Remember this is all pre-ESPN and sports channels, one had to attend the game or listen to the radio only. I really doubt much, if any, $$ exchanged hands at all.

Re: 2023 Schedule

UMass taking it on the chin 6-13 vs. Richmond at the end of the 3rd. We just cannot generate more than 9 or 10 goals, game over already. Just not enough O on this team.

Tom, totally agree on Al as an associate coach, not as an assistant. You played with him, I was in the stands.

Re: Return of Derek Kellogg

OK. But does anything in the past month indicate that Martin is the 'right guy' for UMass BBall? Leaving UMass for Nebraska? Really? It's a Jesuit School with a strong program, but in freaking Nebraska? Says a lot, IMO. Not in a positive way.

Re: 2023 Schedule - at Richmond, Va.

We are at Richmond Saturday at 11:30 am. Earlier than usual, shall we say. Richmond is 4-0 at home, so a tough competitor at 'their place'. https://richmondspiders.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/schedule Their overall record is here at 5-4: https://richmondspiders.com/sports/mens-lacrosse/schedule TV: ESP...
