The UMass Women's LAX team will play six games at McGuirk this season. Can any lacrosse fans tell us how the turf is for that game? I know the football team didn't like practicing on the "tight" turf at Garber Field.

New Hampshire has a late addition to its recruiting class.

Josh Buchanan's FCS NFL Mock Draft contains at least three UMass players: Kyle Havens, John Griffin and Greg Niland. Did I miss any?

Texas State is moving to the WAC in 2012. They've already added scholarships up to 76, which makes them ineligible for the FCS playoffs this year.

BTW, Texas State hired former TCU and Texas A&M HC Dennis Franchione for the move up.
