UMass has announced its 2013 Hall-of-Fame Class. Included from football is Ned Deane.

Dean was a First Team All-America for the Minutemen in 1975. He was also First Team All Yankee Conference in 1974 and 1975. Deane was Captain of the 1975 Minutemen.

The UMass website has more on the 2013 Class.

Devin Brown has been named to the Capital One District One All-Academic Team. Brown is also a Dean's List student and a member of the University's Commonwealth Honors College. Congrats to Devin for his good work on the field and classroom!

Athlon Sports said it was one of the worst calls in officiating history.

The Buffalo Bulls are building for long term success.
