Saturday news


Mrs. Blog and I are moving to the second stage of our Southwest vacation in Tucson, AZ today. That will be a drive of 500+ miles. Again, we are supposed to have high speed internet at our new place, but we shall see. If the blog falls silent, I'll be back as soon as I can find an internet connection.

More on the Boston College-URI game from the Boston Herald. It mentions BC's 2007 game over UMass was one of the Eagles hardest wins.

Bruce Dowd has a long article on week four in the CAA and previews week five.

Chuck Burton has an article on how many FCS/I-AA teams are playing for the playoffs.

All of us UMass fans were impressed with QB Chris Whitney of Villanova during last year's four overtime thriller against the Wildcats. Looks like he will be taking over the starting QB job at Villanova earlier than expected.

Matty Vautour's picks for week five.

UPDATE: Buried in the UMass website was this notice:"Don't miss this: Despite there being no football radio show tonight, there will be a UMass Football Weekly on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. on CBS3 and here on UMassAthletics.com. The show will feature an all-access behind the scenes look at the team's trip to Lubbock as well as a feature on defensive lineman Brandon Collier."

Richmond Vs Villanova can be seen on CN8 and BC-Rhode Island is on ESPN360.
