Frank at it again on Twitter, engaging with a guy who has 3 followers.

Love that he's engaged, but hate that he's wasting time on completely irrelevant trolls. But how he spends his free time is his choice, so I probably shouldn't judge.

Curry Hicks Sage finally got Frank on his podcast, and it's available now. I listen via Apple, but it goes to other channels as well. Spotify link in here:

Frank, Ryan Bamford and somebody from the football staff. It starts at noon, not 12:15 due to the extra speaker. Nice heads up there SM.

Article by Zags on Frank's vision for UMass. It's pretty good, but I guess nobody follows the team as closely as we do so I think he missed a few points. My 1 real nit-pick is in his list of transfers. He mentions a transfer from Nebraska (Cronin) and omit a transfer from Louisville (Cross).

Fantastic interview.. the one thing I noticed over the few minutes I watched over the the other coaches is that Frank is in the big time coaches/media club. He is treated differently. Just means as long as he does some positive things we will get national coverage.

I love what he said about Cal, DK, and Lou! He gets it. I'm gaining back a tiny bit of respect for Bam Bam for being cool with the DK return. Love what I am hearing about the Champions Center. Wow, Cal is envious over the facility. Frank can make this work.

Long live Cal, Frank and DK!!!

Bam Bam, thanks for pulling your head out of your butt!!!

Frank has so much class. Even says good things about MM. Got to love the dedication, humility, and respect...

Thanks for the link Sheck. There’s no ifs or doubts about it, Frank Martin is the man. I love how crusty he is.

I feel for certain that Frank Martin will not let down the players, fans, and UMass.

However, I am a bit worried that the students and fan base will let down Frank. I really hope not!

There was speculation that Bamford might be in the running for the Georgia Tech AD job. Nope!
