Monday --Jan 10th, 2011

Boston College's Gene DeFilippo says he has doubts about an annual game with UMass if we move up, but seems to be open to a 2-for-one series. The Blog has no problems with that. We're the newbies. It'll take time, but if we can start playing BC and UConn regularly, that will be a big boost to the UMass football program.

The MAC plays eight league games, so there will be a minimum of 3 OOC games and some years four.

BTW, the MAC is guaranteed three bowl bids, with possibility of a fourth.

Auburn has canceled classes today. They say it's because of the weather, not because there might be some kind of event going on.

The Blog's sister, who lives in Eugene, sent me a Ducks hat. I had to promise to wear it today.

Former UMass assistant coach Jerry Azzinaro (1992-94,1997) will be coaching for Oregon today. He's an AIC grad, BTW.
