Sunday--November 13, 2011

The Maine game was the first I listened to on the radio feed. Josh Maurer and Matt Goldstein do a fine job with the audio call. You can hear why they keep winning AP awards.

The UMass team appeared to play with fire and determination.  That's all I ask. The defense only gave up 18 points.

The loss was the same old story in 2011. I was mentally writing Ray Pendagast's Gold Helmet Award speech at halftime. However, his glass slipper cracked in the second half. He had two fumbles for touchdowns (we must lead the football universe in that category) and a INT.

In addition, we missed two makeable field goals to dig our last-in-the-CAA average deeper.
