Not much UMass football or MAC conference news on the intertubes today with the Minutemen having an off week and the MAC with only one Saturday game.
One game on the MAC Conference schedule today: one win Western Michigan meets one win Eastern Michigan.
Eastern Michigan fired Ron English yesterday. That's the second MAC coach to be released before the season is over.
UPDATE: Coach English may have been fired for "inappropriate" language.

The MAC Report Online has the conference power rankings as of November 7th.

Brandon London, who has been benched recently for low production, looks to erase some bad memories in the CFL playoffs.

I've missed Matty Vautour's coverage of UMass football this fall. It turns out he's been on partial paternity leave to help with his newborn son's treatment at Boston's Children's Hospital.
Mrs Blog and I wish his son a speedy recovery and hope he thrives from now on.
Matt was always friendly and willing to talk to me when I met him at various UMass football functions, and that was a sharp contrast to several other of the "professional' media I had the misfortune to interact with.
Matty is a good man, a good reporter and he'll be a great dad.
