Re: Game 7, 2025: Buffalo (10/18)

I'll let someone else chime in here.





Overall, much better game, but as is the UMass way: snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. Brutal finish to what should have been a win. The march to 0-12 continues.

Definitely a much better game considering the players effort and enthusiasm, and ...

Probably the best we can ask for at this point.

He went 0-10 last year and blew a 2 or 3 games with idiocy.. he deserved to get canned.
2-8
Sometimes I wonder if they ever should have fired Mark Whipple?

Re: 2025 Season



The school is trying to increase attendance at games, and single game tickets are now $50? That won't help attendance!


If true, incredibly shortsighted and dumb.

Edit-I checked the temple game and found general public tickets for $25 with youth tickets being $17. I also found more expensive ...

The past is the past and I’m ready to go for Temple on August 30th.
Sounds good to me.

Re: McGuirk Upgrade



The locker facilities are pretty new and in good shape, the press box is also pretty new. The field itself is OK also .

So what needs to be done? The stands need to be replaced. Do the east side first with maybe a second deck but modern, individual seats with cup holders. After that is done ...

Re: Joe Harasymiak New Coach!

I know we're investing more money in the coaching staff but what are the other investments Bamford was talking about? McGuirk hopefully!

Re: State of the Progam

I’d love to see UNH or Maine come back to Amherst. I do miss playing both of them every year. I hope we manage to keep UConn on the schedule every year going forward, it’s great for both schools and solidifies our rivalry.

It'd be great to see UNH, Maine, or URI move up to FBS and become the ...

Re: Project 2027..a second tier sleeping giant awakens


Hey fellow alums and fans. I know it has been a long, frustrating, and insulting 13 years, but there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I am not going to give up and am taking the attitude that the key question for any potential new head coach is where do they see Umass football at the ...

Re: Mid-season MAC check-up


Maction starts tonight. Can’t wait to see Umass play during the week on espn.

Me too, but I wonder how many fans will go during the week? They have a hard enough time getting good crowds on Saturdays. Maybe the students will show up in better numbers on a weeknight, but I don't see a lot of ...
