Re: UAB

UAB succeeded due to both the Alabama fans being nuts for college FB and there is effectively no Pro competition. It is illustrative of nothing relevant to UMass.

Re: 2023 Schedule

Looks like a very competitive schedule. The A10 has been built from some strong programs. Glad we are in one less conference.

Re: Game Eleven: Texas A&M

As the worst team in 'big boy' football, that has to be the number one recruiting priority. IMO, this is more important than just firing the OC, given the obvious limitations we have at ...
