Tuesday---April 16, 2013

First of all, Mrs Blog and I would like send our thoughts to those injured in yesterday's Boston Marathon terror attack. There is nothing sadder in this world than the persistence of evil.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The UMass Spring Game is Saturday. The football team will be helping the Amherst Survival center as well as taking donations for the VAMC Northampton.

I'm going, and hope to see a bunch of UMass fans at the game.

MassLive has a story on the UMass offensive line for 2013. A lot of the potential for improvement in 2013 rides on the offensive line.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of the offensive line, the UMass All-Access video page has a segment on them for the ninth update in Spring football.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sports blog has a feature on Jenney Dell, former UMass cheerleader and current Red Sox sideline reporter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former UMass star Brandon Collier is helping potential NFL draft pick Lawrence Okoye in position drills.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thaddius Smith verbaled to Boston College over offers from UMass, Temple, Rutgers, Toledo and several FCS teams.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Akron, the one team UMass beat in 2012 has a Spring Video. Ya gotta accentuate the positive.
