I've added 13 scans from four different UMass game programs from 1987 to the "UMass Historical Scans" folder. You can also access the scans by clicking on the image in the side bar.
One cover is from the UConn-UMass game at Storrs. Be sure to read the UConn essay on the Minutemen-Huskies football rivalry. If we go FBS, can we get that restarted?
One scan has the Alumni Band's tribute to George Parks on his tenth year as director of the UMMB.
Picassa shows a bigger view of the photo album by clicking on the magnifying glass symbol in the upper right hand corner. That allows easier reading of text pages.
The scans include articles on UMass greats Todd Rundle, Jim Vertucci and Peter Montini. In 1987 Paul Mayberry, Pete Montini, Todd Rundle, Mike Barrette, Joe Cullen, John McKeown and Vito Perrone all made All-Yankee Conference.
1987 was a down year with the Minutemen finishing 3-8. UMass won the Yankee Conference championship the previous and following years (1986 and 1988).
In 1987 Kevin Smellie led UMass in rushing going 143-687 2 TD's. Dave Palazsi threw for 281-150 1,868 10 TD's.
Go UMass!!
