6-6 would be a .500 record and qualify for a bowl game.
We don't have a bowl tie-in at the moment as an Indy, so we could very well finish 6-6 and not get into a bowl.
Stop waiting for UMass to do something big and help UMass do something big. - Shades

Also true, but that's just as unlikely as us finishing 12-0.

Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
Last season they created a 2nd bowl in Frisco, TX at the last minute so all bowl eligible teams could play in a bowl game. So I wouldn't worry too much about not having a bowl tie-in.

Yes, it's possible, but it's not guaranteed.

Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
after the last 3 years, I'd be happy with a win or two, and not getting blown out of games.
Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
getting back to my Patriots point, I predict UMass will be in the AP top 25 before the Pats get back to another SB
Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
I think my UMass fandom tempers my expectations for all teams. For the post-Brady Patriots, idk how you could be disappointed with this season. Rough stretch coming out of the bye and in the wildcard game. But until proven otherwise, can you really ask for much more than 10-7 and a playoff appearance?
Same with UMass. Just win a few games and be respectable in the rest. Given where we've been the last few years. The last decade. If we could have years like 2017 consistently for a while, I'd be happy. Then build on that and get a bowl game.

Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
A true rookie QB with the team just won 10 games and took us to the playoffs. I'm not upset at where the Patriots are at this point.
Edit: also, we ran into an extremely talented Bills team. A literal coin flip going the other way and they could be the current favorite for the Super Bowl this year instead of back at home.

Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
I love this prediction!
And to be fair, while Steve has made some outlandish predictions in his time, at least he has been consistent in his support for the program. I don't think that he is naive to any of the points raised against him rather, he is looking at possible potential and focusing on that. There's enough negativity to go around. Why not day dream for a minute, similar to the thoughts people have when they play the lottery. Not likely to win but sure is fun to think about. Hell, I've told my wife countless times that if we win, we are building UMass a new stadium.
Save your breath... you'll need it to blow up your date
Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
Looking at 2024 schedule... I think we could be seeing a 6-0 UMass squad getting ready for the biggest game in our history as we host Mizzou.
Re: FROM OUT OF THE ASHES A GREAT PHOENIX WILL RISE
Love your optimism stevemaz. Could you inagine the buzz around the area if they start 6-0!
