    College Football - General Discussion

    As a long suffering Umass fan, it was bizarre to 1. See them blow a team out (63-15, it was an FCS team, but still). 2. Have a winning record. This feeling of optimism is weird.

    2017 College Football Game Thread - Week 12

    First road win verse a non-MAC team to be fair. With that win Umass at 4-7 has secured its best FBS record ever. That is both really sad but also a nice little sign. They have won 4 out their 5 last games with their only loss away to currently #17 Mississippi State (their 39 point loss to Auburn...

    2017 College Football Game Thread - Week 10

    Yeah... Mississippi State stepping up. Their size is starting to wear Umass out. This is gonna get one sided as the game goes on I expect. Just like last year. Oh well. Was nice to be competent for a half.

    Umass up 20-13 at #16 Mississippi State. I am sure the Minutemen will lose, but this is really encouraging.

    2016-17 UMass Basketball: Kellogg's Last Stand

    That sadly may be true, but the A-10 is a far more nationally relevant conference. I figure that an the (I assume) higher pay are the big reasons for this.

    Umass Football 2016: Now free of MAC oppression

    They just make stupid mistake after stupid mistake. Its utterly maddening to watch this team,because they just repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot. In the midst of doing so currently.

    Umass Football 2016: Now free of MAC oppression

    Up 14-10 at the half against Tulane. Scored twice in the first 4 minutes and were essentially dominated by Tulane after that. Not so great a look. Hope they figure out a better approach at the half.

    Umass Football 2016: Now free of MAC oppression

    Well now its over. Still, I consider this, probably irrationally, a moral victory. We have gone hammer and tongs with two SEC teams this year an have not been punked of the field.

    Umass 14-Mississippi St. 13 at the half. I am shocked and utterly delighted.

    Umass Football 2016: Now free of MAC oppression

    That was a real pleasant surprise. Offense needs some work on the skill positions, but the defense was quite disciplined and held up quite well. I expected to lose that game by a rather substantial margin, instead the toughness of that performance has made me cautiously optimistic that we might...

    Umass Football 2016: Now free of MAC oppression

    Umass is about to kickoff its first season as an FBS Independent by playing #25 Florida in the Just renamed Steve Spurrier Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Lets ruin the renaming day for the Ol' Ball Coach by beating the 35 point spread! Or, probably not.
