Re: Conference Realignment

Correct. What we're doing is admitting Sac State for $18M and expanding the MAC footprint. What are the alternatives and how much do they cost?

Re: 2026 Season

Is this a thread about looking to the future and the 2026 UMass Football season or is this thread about looking backwards and bitching about Coach Whipple being fired after going 16-44? Nothing but respect for Coach Whip - but it was 8 yrs ago, Its 2026, Coach Joe is in charge, he's rebuilding the ...

Re: 2026 Season

As a STH I don't mind paying full price for UMass football games. It's been a slog but I believe that bringing in Thorr as SDAD and CAO was a critically important and correct move for UMass Football. These decisions should have been made 10 - 15r yrs ago but the program is heading in a winning ...

Re: Game 25, 2025-26: at Coastal Carolina (2/7)

Don't know much about them, but it's a return to SC for Coach Martin and the Chanticleers have been playing pretty well lately but certainly look beatable if UMass continues to keep improving. Looking forward matching up w/Teal Nation at Conway

Re: Game 24, 2025-26: Central Michigan (2/3)

Thanks LS. s/b = Should be. They needed to come back b/c McIntire was setting a record for 3s made and UMass couldn't stop him from making it rain. See Coach Martin's post game comments re: not being able to defend the 3. It was a fun game. If somebody wasn't entertained by tha game - okay. The ...

Re: Game 24, 2025-26: Central Michigan (2/3)


That’s a great way to think about it. This is a team UMass should have beaten far more easily, given CM’s roster turnover from last year, new coach and the sub .500 record.


UMass isn't blowing anybody out. We won by 6 pts which is a relatively huge margin for us. Credit to CMU - McIntire was ...

Nope, no sinister plot. He was playing pretty well and contributing and then after getting yanked he hasn't been heard from. People just wondering


I was joking, I don't actually think there's a sinister plot afoot... :D ... Dimitri was playing pretty well, but clearly Coach thinks Luka is a ...

Re: Game 23, 2025-26: Eastern Michigan (1/31)

Here's the Answer: Clerc hasn't played or practiced well enough to earn significant playing time. He hasn't been productive. But yes let's pretend there some sinister plot to deny Dimitri Clerc minutes...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Game 23, 2025-26: Eastern Michigan (1/31)


Is it really improvement if we squeaked by a team that lost it's best player and first 2 guards off the bench? At home!


Yes the team seems to be improving at 14-10 considering last season we went 12-20. Winning is good and there is plenty of room for continued improvement which is why I ...

Re: Game 23, 2025-26: Eastern Michigan (1/31)

Good to get the W. Glad to be creeping up the MAC standings. Don't care about Coach Martin's presser or why a player didn't play. More concerning is the failure to develop a consistently reliable third scoring option - that seems like a key to success this season. Hoping to see the team Keep ...
