The UMass football page has one of those sidebar video segments about a photo shoot for the Alumni Magzine. Note the new MAC conference patch on the Minutemen unis.

Opposing Views.com looks at the 2012 Buffalo Bulls and interviews Buffalo Blogger Bull Run. He sees the Bulls as a being favored against the Minutemen this year.

For the historical record, UMass and Buffalo have played 9 games with the Minutemen coming out on top 5 times. The last meeting was in our National Championship year of 1998 and Whipple's men smoked the Bulls 51-27.
