It will be interesting to see how our young quarterback develops along the offense.
Why doesn't each and every FBS school have its own thread spanning years and hundreds of posts??
The defense has come a long way. It was extremely hard as a UMass fan to see Comis turn the ball over inside the 19 yard line for the second week in a row. Especially when the coach called a time out to go over the play. Boston College defense is good and sacked him 8 times and we lost the turnover battle by 2. Had a night to recover and again getting my spirits up and looking forward to our first true home game on campus.
Footnote, attendance was much smaller than expected, 25,112 and this game will not help. We still have 2 more power 5 teams and BYU to go but against everyone else looking to see the running game develop.
week 1: Florida 24 - 7
week 2: Boston College 26 - 7.
I would imagine that next year, NMSU would merit a thread on here. For a long time, there was an "all things GSU" for Georgia State.
Neither Army nor BYU is actively seeking a home that isn't addressed in another specific thread. For UMass this year and for NMSU starting next year their lack of a conference home is a more or less ongoing condition not tied to any particular conference.
I say, rename the thread to "All things UMass" and have a thread for "All things NMSU" next year for the Aggies and keep them here.

If, hypothetically, Northern Illinois moved to the American, leaving the MAC at 11, why wouldn't the MAC be interested in UMass even as football-only? That's a whole different situation than being number 13.

RE: UMass Football - Cyniclone - 09-12-2016 02:13 PM
The other thing to consider is that UMass may be a bellwether for other programs who are either kicking the tires on football independence (UConn?) or have had independence thrust upon them (New Mexico State). If UMass can make a go of it, other schools in less-than-ideal football situations may be emboldened to take the plunge themselves. If not, then maybe that salts the earth for independence outside of the grandfathered-in programs.
UMass's evolution as an independent program is an interesting case study and represents more than just their on-field results.

RE: UMass Football - CarlSmithCenter - 09-13-2016 09:49 PM
UMass's best chance to get in the AAC is if somehow the Big 12 takes an odd number of AAC teams, either one or all three of Cincy Houston and UConn, along with BYU. That would leave the AAC with either 8 all sports/9 in football or 10 all sports/11 football. There would be no reason for the AAC to add anyone if they only lost two teams as they could still hold a CCG in football; no duo of UMass and either NIU, Rice, USM etc. would improve basketball or football completion or television contract value to financially justify making that type of move in that scenario given the CCG deregulation.

Still don't think Army would be interested; the AAC will look a lot like the C-USA they left years ago.

If they'd had an interest when the old Big East was looking for a host of replacements, they'd already be in.
RE: UMass Football - PA-GAMECOCK - 09-14-2016 02:02 AM
Army needs a successful Independent run like Navy had before joining the AAC and no access to post season bowls before they join a conference again. Don't see the Armed Forces Bowl, the Military Bowl, and the Poinsettia Bowl locking them out though.
RE: UMass Football - MplsBison - 09-14-2016 08:11 AM
Army needs to do whatever needs to be done in order to copy Navy's success. How much longer can Army generals have sand kicked in their faces by their Naval counterparts??

From Coach Whipple
Quote:What a great win for our program last week at home in McGuirk Alumni Stadium against FIU! The guys played really well and I was certainly pleased with the overall efforts of all three facets of the game. What is really exciting is that we had 13 freshmen play a combined 330 plays which is really promising for the direction of our program.

4? Obviously that would be: Mississippi State, South Carolina, BYU, and...Troy?
But really, that FIU win should have been by wither 11 or 15 points there...dropped a TD pass and then missed a 30 yard field goal right after. Still, just happy to have a win on there.

I'll give you 3 out of 4 of those games if you want them but your not getting South Carolina. Not even with a new coach in SC. You should have played the Gamecocks last year if you wanted a win..
RE: UMass Football - Steve1981 - 09-23-2016 10:59 AM
From a Mississippi State site, tomorrows UMass home game at Gillette, will be aired in at least 40 states, plus Puerto Rico.
We're getting the UMass Football brand out there, but start winning will be key next year for fans to start buying in. Of course this year schedule is insane, with the youngest FBS team. We're playing our third P5 team in four weeks and like most teams have been nicked up and on our second quarterback due to injuries. Really hope Huber, on D, can play as he is the the coach on the field.
Quote:STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi State's non-conference football game at UMass will be televised live on ESPN3 and affiliates of the American Sports Network.
Kickoff from Gillette Stadium is 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday. ESPN3 can be accessed via WatchESPN.com and the Watch ESPN app.

Left the game feeling optimistic about our future. Scoring in the second half and being with in 5 points near the end felt good. Yes Ford did turn it over and they got the last TD. This team is battle and fighting to the end.

Know the record does not look like we are improving, but we are hanging tough. Playing mostly P5 teams in our 5th year FBS is a tough row to hoe. We need more wins than losses to start bring in new fans. Expected 3 wins this season, but 4-5 is possible, not probable. So, hoping for 4 wins. Two at McGuirk would be great. Tulane just won and they're coming to town.
