Nineteen Days to Kansas State ---- 08/17/09

Another new UMass Fan Blog. Minuteman Athletics will be covering the full range of UMass sports. May it prosper and have many, many blog posts. I've added a link in the sidebar.

Fear the Triangle part II. For some reason, I totally missed Fear the Triangle would be authored by "Rocks22". Rocks is both sane and knowledgeable ---- a rare combination on message boards. He'll do an excellent job with the blog.

I'd like to see some articles explaining the game. What is "offsides" in hockey anyway?

Somewhere at UMass Mike Mele is smiling.

You will remember new UMass LB Mike Mele transferred from Syracuse after apparently losing his position to JUCO Derek Hines. This blog post has the details and, as I read the quotes, Syracuse coach Doug Merrone said the Orange would be able to win with Hines.

Well after a couple of practices, Hines quit the Syracuse football team....

Jeff Thomas has an article about UMass defensive coordinator Keith Dudzinski. Every TV game I saw during the Brown era the announcers said "Well, Dudzinski is the defensive coordinator, but Coach Brown really runs the UMass defense".

Well this year Dudzinski has a chance to show what he can do. Good luck Coach Dudz!
