PM me with what you need to know. My tailgate is probably the only one here that is open to the public... I think everyone else likes to keep theirs smaller.

I know James will be in town for this, though I'm sure he can't actually play in the game. Any word on Vic?

Here's our recap ... the game was a LOT better than last year:

Thanks for the recap. It sounds like defense will be the strength of this team. Offensively, it seems that the O-line is very good too, but whether we have the personnel to utilize it remains to be seen.

By the way, is Blanchflower injured? Of returning players, I think he the leading receiver, but I haven't seen any mention of him anywhere. Was he at the spring game?

I heard he had surgery in the off season.... Still rehabbing.

Not the turnout I was hoping for, but I guess it was still a good one. Was a nice day to watch football. The passing game left a lot to be desired, but Jordan Broadnax (RB) looks like he can take the hit and fight for extra yards. Defense looked good.

Brought my camera and took about 70 pics: https://picasaweb.google.com/103913126890789432552/2012MassachusettsFootballSpringGame#

Is Brian Dowling playing wide receiver now? From the UMass release, it looks like he led in number of receptions.

Dowling and Williams ran some time at receiver, but I think that's for lack of depth than anything else. I mean, Matty G ran a little wideout for the alumni team.

Makes sense. This season is probably one that we'll see some of the incoming freshman get time at WR, given our lack of depth there.

Most of those catches (if not all) came on quick screens to the WR which for all intents and purposes are just long handoffs, makes sense to throw them to a RB

Don't worry about the helmets, I am fairly certain in saying you won't be seeing these helmets next season. Not as sure on the jersey as I am on the helmet being different. White, but a different logo.
