Jeff Thomas says UMass will likely release an official version of its future schedule next week.

He also says the renovations to McGuirk and the new 38,000 square foot practice facility are on schedule and should be complete in July of 2014.

Adding a new press box to McGuirk indicates to me that UMass will play some games in Amherst after 2014.

Mrs Blog and I belong to the Minuteman Club as well as the 100 yard Club. The Minutemen Club now sends out a e-newsletter.

Hopefully all UMass football fans will join either/both. The annual dues for the Minuteman Club is only $25.

UCONN Coach Pasqualoni joked that the Huskies may not name their starting QB until the night before the UMass game.

OT, but UConn is considering moving to Hockey East.

I didn't get the UMass 1989 history post completed. Hope to have it up for you tomorrow.
