Happy to extend the offer to you personally for the next game. But we do not have an email from you.

Thanks much. Go U!

I’m not able to attend Saturday’s game due to a family function but I appreciate your offer.

I did send two emails to the [email protected] on the ticket application site. I have idea why you don’t have them. I must be the fourth person who had issues. Oh well; shit happens.

Happy Holidays and Go UMass!

Did nobody get the FREE tickets for this game during the food drive?

If you sent to [email protected] it certainly didn't get to us.

Anything else?

^ Happy Chanukah to you and to everyone here!

Hopefully being a home game will get them over the top - because it sure as shit won't be foul shooting .

From a league competitiveness standpoint, this should be a good barometer to set the tone for the Conference Schedule.

Massey and Nolan now have us winning by 1 or 2. See what a couple of wins against P4 teams will do for you.

^ and Torvik has us favored by 3.5, winning by 3. Kent St lost yesterday at 186 NET Portland. We're both off until the game on Saturday.

Kent St scores 96.6 points per game! Delrecco Gillespie is a load. 6'8", 215. 19.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.0 blocks. He also converts at the line, 74.1%. We'll need Clerc and possibly Damjanac to help keep him in check. They also have a bunch of guys shooting 40% or better from three. This is going to be tough.

From the Week 7, Dec. 15-21st thread on the MAC board, which includes Massey and kenpom ratings.

Kent State has been among the most consistent contenders in the MAC last 25 years. True test for UMass. Kent State is very good this year and title contender along with Akron and Miami.

Steve, great news for conference play, doesn't matter which school wins.. you'll get to wave your flag.

^ Their 9 game win streak is over and ended last night. Good time to give them another one!

You're dead, wrong!
It's sad you make comments, which show you have no idea of waving the flag represents.

MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher announced Tuesday that he’d given every team in the MAC a Jolly Roger pirate flag to fly when it beats a Power 5 school or wins a bowl game.

Had a few minutes and posted it for you, inthescoop as this is our first season and should be more understanding that fans do not know the reason for flying the flag.

^Goddamnit, how can I not be aware of such an established tradition... I need to get my act together, my apologies!
