Matty Vautour has a "2008 Superlatives" article, which includes several quotes about UMass football. One of the best:
"Derek Kellogg Award/Graduating senior most likely to be heard from again: Liam Coen - I'll put the over/under at 15 years before Coen is the head coach of the UMass football team."

UMass was 15th in total football attendance in 2008 out of 117 FCS teams (pdf). We were 5th among the cold weather teams (not counting UNI and North Dakota State; they both have domes).
