Vote for us here. This would definitely help attendance. Would be quite the experience to have college game day at Gillette. |

| how do you folks view the recent additions to conferenced USA. Some teams were in the CAA/Atlantic 10. Seems many programs want to move to the FBS. Wonder if these programs could spin off into an established conference down the road |

Don't know about the conference spin-off idea, but if UMass wants to schedule some very winnable FBS one and one's early on, those (referring to Charlotte and ODU) would be nice programs to schedule with, especially since they've had some association with UMass.
Related thought - I'm wondering if Delaware's administration is finally feeling some heat to explore an upgrade - some of UD's fans seem a bit unsettled by all of cumulative past/potential future changes taking place in the CAA. I wouldn't mind seeing them in the MAC with UMass. |

^UMass and Charlotte have never played in football. UMass and ODU played a grand total of once.
Of the 3 you mention, only Delaware excites me.

Well, I wasn't really saying that we should necessarily be "excited" to play those teams. My point was, our AD has some relationship with those schools based on common previous conference affiliations - and they also happen to be very winnable FBS games to balance out the Michigan-type games on our schedule. I really don't care one way or another though, just saying that it gives us more options OOC. But if we choose to just fill our schedule Big 10 and SEC schools, that's just fine with me  |

I may be way behind but does anyone know when tickets go on sale for our games at UConn, Michigan and Vandy? Or if they already are? Definitely going to the UConn game, will probably be going to Vandy, 50/50 on Michgan right now

No pay, no play..
We win the MAC games..getting our asses kicked by the BCS pays the freight. |

Probably not... only 4 hours before the game is allowed by their rules.

It looks like we have escaped made-for-tv weeknight games at The Razor for this year. The MAC has eight of those league games this year, but we are not in any home or away.
Our OOC game at UConn is on a Thursday night.
