I don't understand who the heck came up with the parking fees. If someone decides to go to a game the last minute he will need to pay $ 40 in cash to park near the stadium area or park down by Mullins. Don't think they have a shuttle going from there.
Several years ago we played SC and I drove down to the game. I only paid $ 30 to park and although it was a bit of a distance from the stadium they had shuttles running from that parking lot. Don't make sense to me. Certainly not trying to encourage a casual fan from going to a game.

People who do not know how to price. They also charge an arm an a leg for single game tickets.... Berkman, how much were your season tickets in the 80's-90's?

What is tomorrow's moral victory meter? That they keep it close through three quarters? The offensive line gets a good push? They win the opening coin toss?
Crowd might be the best of the year! 13k?!
Moral victory is keep it under 20. What I really hope for is to have everyone healthy for UConn.

Love it, guys...
Here's hoping that dreams come true.
harbo...if my dream was dyslexic, wouldn't we lose 94-17?
Quann...funny you should say that. I'm a big Larry David fan. If you've seen Curb, you know that he is often called LD in the show. MY wife if he's LD, than I'm LS...D!
Floyd..as a lifelong resident of Massachusetts, I can legally say that indeed, that was not oregano in the sauce!
McKinney...10 TDs...if only, That would more than double this season total to date.

At what point do actual victories replace moral ones....

I'm not going to be able to make it this weekend. PM if interested in a parking pass.

During Bell's tenure it has been three times keeping it under 20...3 for 20 (15%)! Monlnar was 8 for 22 (36%) (with mostly FCS players) and Whip was 46 for 60 (77%). That is a lot of moral victories under Whip! Bell can't even win moral victories!!!

^ I did not.
I’m still go to many games, but now I’m not locked into every game. The constant upheaval of the roster and the year away due to Covid made it easier for me to walk away. ESPN+ is a great way to see the games I don’t attend.
I’ll use the money saved to attend more hockey and women’s games.

LS, I question people’s sense of humor and their overall self worth (I kid
) if they don’t like Seinfeld and Curb. LD is the best.

3 plays, -14 yards
Yep, that sounds like a UMass offensive drive.

I’m following the play by play on ESPN.com, and I feel happy I’m not there in person. Seems like we fumble or go backwards on every play (not including punts, though stay tuned). Looking forward to hockey tonight, however!

At least it’s only 7-0 after 1. Does that count as a moral victory?

Just curious, why not mix Merriweather in with Adams to get a different look in the run game? Has he even got 1 snap in this 1st qtr?
Lots of mistakes hurting them again. I think they can win this one if they tighten things up

UMass has -1 yardage and 0 first downs--we have them just where we want them!
