Monday--June 27, 2011

The UMass website has some video from the "Together We are One" tour at the UMass club in Boston. Coach Morris says in the video,  recruiting for 2012 has gone well.

Brandon London has made the Montreal Alouettes roster and should see significant playing time in Thursday's opening game.

An alouette is a French word for lark, BTW.

"Eagle in Atlanta" has more signs that Boston College's ticket sales are in trouble. I believe UMass' move to FBS will help football in New England, if Boston College and UConn will play us in a continuing series.

Syracuse's attendance at the Carrier Dome has not been robust either. The Orange averaged 40,064 at home and ranked #64 in FBS attendance.

Boston College averaged 38,369 at the Heights for a #65 ranking.

UConn averaged 38,242 at Rentschler Field.

There should be a "Northeast Trophy" for the area.

Richmond looks at ten years in A10 basketball and thinks that changes in the Big East will come in ten years or less, which is what we've been saying here for years.

If things break right, UMass could end up in the Big East in football and also be part of a new basketball league.

The UMass website has the revised Coaches roster up.
