He looks a little "worn" but if he's right!!!! My God, 4-8!!!! Bryant, W. Mich, Kent, Bowling Green all wins according to him. I think we go 2-10 with Bryant and Kent wins.

Any info on how the scrimmage went on Saturday???? 2 wins?? I think this staff and what seems to be a shift in culture and investment, will lead to more than 2 wins. Teams can immediately change in this day and age.. it doesn't take years anymore.

He breaks down the rosters and goes from there. We dont have Cole Garcia Bobby Wooden KLA anymore but that Army game was special. Temple was a 1.5 dog and now they are favored 3 pts. Obviously the line shifted once people started paying attention. Sucks but Temple probably smokes us.

Insider, I hope you are right!!!! I just dont get how he picks W. Mich and Bowling Green as wins???? I actually wish we get the Temple victory this year. We have lost more games in improbable ways over the years: Hawaii (muffed PR), Temple (blocked PAT they took it to the house) Liberty game last year (missed FG last play of game would've won it) so many MAC games lost on the final play New Mexico game (lost on last play).....

Look at the games we lost last few years on special teams... or when the opponent has no timeouts we take away the middle of the field and not the sidelines... I see a big improvement in special teams and a staff that won't beat itself.. that's worth a couple more wins alone.

^ Apparently ESPN and others don't see much improvement for us!

Any idea who our starting QB will be?

Obviously easy pickings.. who can blame them. But when you learn we never had a nutrition program, or as we were all very aware of, a special teams coach.. you can see why we lost so many games, even when we thought we had a shot. It seems, and it's only proved out when it counts, UMass has fixed those deficiencies. I honestly feel that for the first time we have a fighting chance. Coach H almost took down our best FBS Coach in Whipple when he shouldn't have had a shot. I remember that game at Fenway and Maine completely outplayed UMass. That's what makes me excited.

Yeah Insider, I feel good about Joe as well. Young, motivated, experienced and seemingly has the administration behind the program finally. I think we'll see early on the new culture and if we look to be headed in the right direction, but I'm looking forward to growth of UMass football

When will season tickets be available online?

Those go on sale first and have been for sale for some time. Single tickets are available now. Expect to receive season tickets in the mail next. Not sure if that was your question but answered to your question literally.

I meant those that have already been purchased. You have to download them; they are no longer mailed.

The bottom 10 is back. https://www.espn.com/college-football/s ... -bottom-10

The school is trying to increase attendance at games, and single game tickets are now $50? That won't help attendance!

$200 for a family of 4 to see UMass football? Does not sound too family friendly! CMON NOW
