I was watching a replay of the 1986 MLB playoffs on the ECL channel. Game 7 in the fourth inning, just after Jim Rice hits a homer, there is a kid sitting in the second row that holds up a UMASS sign. He’s sitting right behind the guy wearing glasses and a green jacket. Waddayouknow!

Story about Will McDonough's boy Terry who attended UMass in the 80s - brief reference to UMass:

Couple of interesting passages:
http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/2641 ... ells-story
Couple of interesting passages:
The police transported McDonough, still 17, to the Plymouth House of Correction, where he was strip-searched and put in a cell. Terry suddenly felt a sense of relief behind bars, he said, "because I didn't want to be in that town anymore." Hingham's golden boy had become its Hester Prynne. Two nights later, the phone rang in the McDonough house, and the man on the other end asked Sister Mary Martina if her brother was home. "It's Jimmy," the nun told Will. James "Whitey" Bulger. According to Will, Whitey told him, "I want to let you know that nobody's going to mess with your kid.
One anectode - I remember him from an intramural softball game. He was on the team my team was playing against and he was a big time douchebag - yelling at the umps, trash talking our team, etc. One of my teammates was from Hingham, said "He's always been a dick, but I guess that's what happens when you have a famous dad". I asked who his dad was, he replied "Will McDonough".As a UMass student in 1987, he had checked himself out of school and into a hospital after he experienced panic attacks, shortness of breath, muscle twitches and ringing in his ears, and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. The following year, he was arrested over the July Fourth holiday in Atlantic City, New Jersey, after getting drunk, stealing pizza on the boardwalk and wrestling with a cop who had been sitting in an unmarked car. Terry landed in jail for a night before entering a 30-day rehab program in Norwood, Massachusetts.
Word to your motha!

Good to see he's made something of himself and is setting a good example.
I can only imagine if Joe Cullen was the head coach (rumored before Bell) and he hired Terry McDonough.

Sort of a rehash of previous articles regarding an anticipated decline of the number of potential future college students with an emphasis on Hampshire College and the UMASS system (with a few surprisingly positive comments by the author re UMass). The reader comments may provide a laugh or two.

I think state schools (flaship campuses, smaller satellite campuses and other state universities) are in the best spot going forward. Still the greatest bang for your buck when it comes to going to college education and the gap is getting larger. Unless you get a scholarship or are going to an Ivy League school, I think it's insane to enroll in a private school for 70K-100K per year. Those are the schools that will be hurt most by the ridiculous escalation of tuition over the last 20 years. I wholly blame the government backed student loans for creating this absolute mess. Guaranteeing a loan anywhere from 100K-300K to an 18 year old with no collateral is beyond absurd. These schools know that kids are on the hook to pay back everything and it is fully backed by Uncle Sam. End guaranteed student loans and it will have a huge effect on tuition costs.
