Ron Chimelis says UMass Football's playoff hopes are slim.

Matty V. says all the Minutemen's remaining games are must wins.

The CAA has it's Game Day page here. The Rhode Island-UNH and the Villanova-Richmond games are on Comcast Sports New England, so set your DVR.

Speaking of Richmond they just received two years of probation for NCAA violations mostly relating to Basketball. More here.

Kansas State needs two more wins to be bowl eligible.

The person who tried to post a message to potential UMass recruit Kristjan Sokoli (see Wednesday's post) in the comments should try to contact him through social medial like Face Book.

A couple of reasons: the message is not private for one thing and since I'm a season ticket holder and a member of Friends of Football, that makes me an agent of UMass in the eyes of the NCAA. We don't want to cause any problems for either UMass football or for Sokoli. See Richmond's troubles earlier in this blog post.

Just for the record, although the UMass Sports Information Office has been very nice to me, I get zero perks or encouragement from UMass Football.

Let's beat the Huskies and get started on three straight wins to close out the 2009 season!

Go UMass!
