Slightly off-topic but how amazing would it be if those 2x24 conferences included a relegation and promotion component? I know American sports loves their socialist protections regarding how leagues are configured but that would be fun -


That would be awesome. The NBA should do that to fix ...

I didn't hear it, but I will guess that is was someone else's fault that they lost.

I hated when the ACC and Big Ten expanded their footprint to cover both coasts.
I'm gonna hate it when the MAC does the same.
UMass to Sacramento State: a 2,548 mile road trip, for a damn MAC football game.
What are we even doing?


College sports aren’t as fun as they used to be.

Tough to win when your team defense is horrendous. 1 player doesn’t fix that.

It could. We "just" need another Marcus Camby.

Central is not a hot-bed of FBS talent. Getting players from there who are not being pursued by other FBS teams is nothing to crow about.

I don't know, this guy seems pretty good to me: https://247sports.com/Player/isaiah-rogers-46152517/

The Coastal coach should be fired twice. They didn't foul twice when up by 3. We only screwed up once and it took a circus shot 3 by them to tie the game. There are a hundred things you can look at in this game that would have changed the outcome.


Yes, there are 100 things that could have ...

Is there such a thing as student-athletes anymore? Aren't they all professionals just playing in a lower division with NIL.

When was the last time Luka gave us 13 & 6?

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 ...

Yes, what is the logic of upside down UMass hat???


I didn't get it at first either. Gemini told me this...
"Hats with reverse or upside-down lettering, pioneered by brands like True Brvnd in 2020, are a trend symbolizing a "topsy-turvy" world during the COVID-19 pandemic. Popularized by ...

I made a lucky stab and found it right away. We are 3rd in the MAC for portal ratings. However, the number of transfers has a lot to do with the rankings.

And many have not been ranked as transfers yet. Their HS ...

So we all have more time to drink the anguish away before we go to bed.

Grades?

Posting here as Mike has not started the thread, but the next game against Toledo is so important to the mental health of the fans and team.


No it's not. The season is over. Football is getting some good transfers and many will save a ton of money by not attending games and paying for parking ...

Maybe a sign of the times? All from lower tier ($$$ wise) schools. Getting relative peanuts in NIL money and looking at the 6 figure deals the guys at the power conference schools are getting? The BCS started turning me off on college football. The NIL may finish the job with college bb.
