The Big 10 commercial looks like it could use one more school at the end... come on Big 10, bring in UMass! 
Stop waiting for UMass to do something big and help UMass do something big. - Shades

But never will. They spend more on 1 player than our entire NIL budget.stevemaz wrote: Sat Jan 10, 2026 12:17 pmyup.. as it should be..InnervisionsUMASS wrote: Sat Jan 10, 2026 9:28 am The Big 10 commercial looks like it could use one more school at the end... come on Big 10, bring in UMass!![]()

Obviously I was joking, but I can dream.

I know it's a home game for the U but it seems like Indiana is the inevitable national champion. They are rolling, Cignetti is such a good coach.

Yeah, I think so too. Probably not the total blowout like the quarterfinal game but I could see Indiana pulling away in the 2nd half.

Congrats to Indiana! Sometimes these types of comments can be cliché, but this really was a storybook finish.
Not that any of this is easy, but they were a terrible football program that just won the whole damn thing, so there is hope things can turn around here... some day.

Like Cignetti said: "It CAN be done"!!!! for me, I'll take ONE win for UMass as "it CAN be done".InnervisionsUMASS wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 9:08 am Congrats to Indiana! Sometimes these types of comments can be cliché, but this really was a storybook finish.

Re: 2025 Playoff and Bowl talk
It is rare for me to to pay attention through an entire football game, but last night was a compelling game to watch. Did get tired of the multiple shoutouts to JMU and the frustration of knowing that we were evenly matched for many seasons back in the day. Their administration has done what it takes to progress and succeed, even if they are a stepping stone for for those with higher level aspirations. Our stagnant administration, not so much.

I think the best is that Carson Beck graduated 2 yrs ago, is not taking classes and yet still gets to play. In fact, I read elsewhere that he isn’t even registered as a student at Miami
