Two Days until football 08/28/08

Remember to listen to Coach Brown's show tonight live from the Hanger at 7:00 pm on WRNX.

UMass and Clear Channel have reached a three year agreement on broadcasting UMass Sports.

The Boston globe has a story about the UMass defensive secondary.

FCS and CAA football opens tonight as the Hofstra Pride visits the evil UConn Huskies.

The Hofstra game will be shown live at 7:30 tonight on SNY TV, which is available nationally on both Direct TV (channel 625) and Dish TV (channel 438). Comcast will also carry the game.

Meanwhile, the good Huskies (Northeastern) open their season tonight against Ball State. No TV but there is internet radio.

The CAA has lots of info on both games here .

Woah! Yesterday I returned home to find a pile of boxes that the UPS guy had left on my porch (Mrs. Blog is redecorating). Carelessly thrown on top was a white envelope from the UMass Athletic Dept.

In it were my Texas Tech tickets. We're in section 13 with end zone seats. Texas Tech has a neat feature that if you click on their stadium map, you get a view of the stadium from your seats. This is what I hope (God willing) to be taking images of in a couple of weeks.

Matty Vautour has an article on the UMass defense .

UMass football uses One Playbook software to manage contacts with UMass players and coaches.

CSN has a excerpt from their FCS magazine covering the CAA here (.pdf). They are rather down on UMass.
