Such a UMass way to end this game. Unreal.

I don’t know what to think. Not hopeful for next week, but hoping. I think having the td over ruled will have a negative impact on this team.

0-12. Another Saturday ruined. Can’t go back to FCS. Just drop the sport for a few years and get an actual stadium and start fresh.

Hairston’s knee was down before he threw it. They reviewed it and got the call right. Then he got bull rushed on 4th down, no chance.

I’m sorry but Brandon rose is not an FBS quality starter. The offense was pathetic before Hairston came on. Too bad because I thought the defense played pretty inspired, just got no help.

Rose needs to be the #3 QB... AJ would have given them a shot if he started the game... he threw for 131 yards in a little over a quarter of play. it was 7-3 at the half.. not exactly a blow out

no, rock bottom was losing to Bryant a month ago. A 1AA business school in Rhode Island who started playing football 29 years ago. Honest to God, this is not by accident. We will probably go 0-12 and I blame playing 2 P4's in games 3 and 4. Next year if we lose to Sacred Heart in week 2 I would immediately suspend football and forfeit 2026.

Hate to say this but Coach Joe makes 1.5M and you could hire Vince Lombardi and Bill Belichick at 10 million dollars each and this team would still not win a game. This program sucks so bad year after year that you can have Saquon Barklay and Cee Dee Lamb and Josh Allen and the 85 Bears defense with The Fridge and we would still lose

Wait ‘til next year.

Bryant lost to Maine by. 20 today, and is 2-4. Doesn’t say much for us.

I graduated in 1984 and got there in 1979. The prior year they beat BC 27-0. UMass football until 2020 had never gone winless. We very may go winless in 2025. Sorry guys
