Tuesday News ---- 09/08/09

Hi everyone, Mrs Blog and I made it home safe. I'm tired but happy we make the trip.

A couple of items about the blog:
  • I had some more e-mails while I was gone with entries for the hat contest. I'll try to sort through them and have a winner by tomorrow.
  • Hope also to have a Picassa web album of the UMass-Kansas State game up by tomorrow also.

The Springfield Republican says UMass has regrets about the K-State game.



The Wichita says the Wildcats try to learn from the UMass scare.

Matty Vautour has several articles. He has an article about the CAA's strong showing against FBS/I-A teams. He notes that UMass will get Armando Cuko back from a one-game suspension, but projected starting RT Rob Getek may be out for some time.

He also has "Three stars -Kansas State". He also takes a look at the season yet to be played.

UMass' strong showing against the Wildcats didn't translate to much movement in the polls.

D.J Adeoba was CAA Rookie-of-the-Week for his performance against K-State.

ESPN has a story about Miami's win over Flordia State. Key Quote:

"Offensive coordinator Mark Whipple's new schemes were an instant hit with the most important Miami fan: university president Donna Shalala, who beamed after Miami rolled up 229 yards on its 29 first-half plays, a 7.9 average."
