Looking like a great weather day!

2:30pm kickoff, so tailgating for Season Ticket Holders on Stadium Drive and Lot 11 starts at 10am.

I can't make it due to a prior commitment - I hope it's a great game and UMass gets the W.

[Quann]

Should be a perfect day in the Pioneer Valley. Hopefully the football team can follow suit and send fans home happy for the conference opener.

[Camby4Life]

WMU opened at -10 and the sharps are all over it, already up to -12.5. Tough MAC opener, WMU should finish top 4 in conference and already beat Toledo. The also blew out FCS team and lost in ot to undefeated north texas.

Any chance you can be reasonably over-optimistic instead of insanely over-optimistic?

Nothing is reasonable with the Steves.

I’m hoping they can score 20+ points

Will UMass score more than 107 points in October?
Wiĺl UMass give up fewer than 107 points in October?

Varsity football, that is, for any wise guys out there.

[eldonabe]

I have little faith they will win any games, but I do think this is a one score game.


W Mich 27
UMass 23

my optimistic prediction is 23-21 good guys. My actual is 38-17 WMich. we will win at Kent St and Buffalo game is a tossup

[Merlin Samuels]

WMU didn’t even score on Illinois, that’s surprising. I am feeling optimistic about this. This is no Iowa or Missouri. So long as they don’t huck the ball up and hope for flags like Bryant, I think we have a chance!

[InnervisionsUMASS]

I'm expecting another loss, but I'm hopeful that after 4 games, we finally start seeing some visible improvement on the field.

Weather still looks great, looking forward to being there.

[Quann]

Keep playing Hairston, still think he gives us the best shot at winning with him a QB.

More weather talk midweek, but at least we aren’t talking about another lightning delay.
