Matty V. has more on Coach Molnar's talk at Wednesday's sports luncheon. One of his contentions that UMass will not schedule FCS teams in the futures, will I think,  be revised eventually. Nearly all FBS teams, including the MAC, schedule at least one FCS team per year. It counts towards bowl eligibility and it generally cost 1/3 of the contract for an FBS team. In addition, there is no home and home requirement. I think UMass will need the wins and the money eventually.

The Worcester Telegram mentions friends James Ihedigbo and Victor Cruz.

Victor says the Giants receivers will be sleeveless for Sunday's game and says his coldest game was in the 30's at UMass. Was he active for that Hofstra game in 2008?
