Both the Springfield Republican and Matty Vautour have UMass football articles up, both contain nothing I haven't already covered. The Springfield Republican is here and the Hampshire Gazette is here.

The UMass athletic dept has an article about Vladimir Ducasse and Jeromy Miles being picked as pre-seaon All-Americans by Sports Network.

Matty does have a nice link to a North Jersey article about Marcel Shipp.

Shipp has been a class act everywhere he's gone. Hopefully, he'll be involved in UMass football somehow if he's truly out of professional football.

The always interesting Draft Daddy Blog has a comment on Kansas State WR Brandon Banks

" We do know, however, that fellow Kansas State wide receiver Brandon Banks ran a blistering 4.27 at his pro day. Banks was given a draftable projection, despite his glaring lack of ideal size -- 5' 7", 151. "

We'll be seeing Mr. Banks shortly.

Things are getting weird for Delaware WR Mark Duncan.

Anyone going to the Kansas State game had better get working on their motel reservations, or they will be staying forty miles away in Kansas City.
