If UMass had a top flight football or basketball program, the students would show up.

Absolutely true but it wouldn't necessarily be a sign of interest any more than it would be a chance to be on ESPN or post an Instagram of themselves at the game. Shit...I've become the grumpy old man.

^^
Goes without saying... 92,400 showed up during the 13/14 season inc 5 sellouts!

No better way to get ready for the upcoming season that to see THIS thread at the top of page 1!

Wow, it's much too early to get wrapped around the axial on whether DK should be canned or not. He's the f#@ken coach this year; no way around it. Bamford isn't going to pull a Les Miles and fire his butt after 4 games. If you can't stand the way he coaches or how the team is playing, vote with you feet and stay home.

Let's put the fire DK movement on hold until at least we're well into the A10 season. If the team is falling flat on its face, I'll grab my pitch fork and join you.

I am even off that bandwagon for now.

I would love nothing more than to see a full Mullins and a team on the rise this winter....

^ So that explains why you bumped this thread after it went to sleep for three months. Got it.

The post that I added to it actually had some relevance to the subject even though it was not DK directly.

Don't worry though, by December 15th or so this thread will likely be exploding all by itself anyways

During the debate Monday night I think I heard someone refer to eldon and his crew as the UMass Deplorables.

I would take 10,000 eldon's opposed to the apathetic fan base we have now.

Now excuse me while I go shower after typing that.

And for the record I would take Skerry in about 4 seconds....

I shall refer to myself in the third person now - Eldonabe posted this back in March 2016..............

It's been quite the sight to see. And it's not just here, Twitter too.

Let's try to stick in the current thread though. We don't need 2 active on the same topic.

I shall quote myself twice now..... March 2016 and again this past February.

This is what happens this day in age. Fan bases overestimate themselves and message boards are the platforms. AD's are a hastily written email away. Congrats UMass fans.

Why is this thread still a thing?
