Great read, 02! Thanks for posting it.
The tidbit about how long we've been playing football was fantastic and I did not know that.

The first of many in depth articles. Amazing how big FBS is. Also while I'm ecstatic we upgraded, as refernced, our university history suggests we should have been here a while ago. Didnt know we were one of the oldest plating schools.
An article about our scheduling:

When UMass plays its home games at Gilette Stadium, it will be third-closest FBS school to that location. That’s right, both BC and UConn are closer to Gilette than the Amherst roadtrippers. They should be a competitive MAC program, but they’re a large step below UConn or BC. BC’s found the gutter in the past year or two, but they still have academics, hockey and Boston. UConn is a far superior school with high-level facilities and a stadium that they can sell out. There will be more blue than red at the first UConn-UMass game at Gilette.
UMass alum should be both embarrassed and depressed if this happens.   |

| I hope there is more blue than red, seeing as no team playing in that game should be wearing red. |

Blah blah blah, if UMass is competitive in the MAC they're competitive with UConn and BC. BC was 90th in the Sagarins and UConn was 76th. 4 MAC schools were ahead of both of those and Western Michigan was also ahead of BC so that's 5 out of 13. I hope you guys kick their ***es if you play them. |
