Five Days before Rhode Island --09/14/09


Whoa! The UMass has this note in today's UMass Minute: "If you were at the game on Saturday, you saw the sign shown in this picture, letting all the fans know that a new video scoreboard is on the way for McGuirk Stadium. Plans are for the scoreboard to be installed for the Oct. 17 homecoming game against New Hampshire."

I totally missed the sign. That's great news. The old scoreboard has been an eyesore for years. Kudos to UMass A.D. John McCutcheon. The new scoreboard will be a great addition to McGuirk and the UMass Football atmosphere.
