Mrs Blog and I went to the UMass-Fordham game yesterday. Good to see Coach Whipple there. From Matty V's article on the game:
WHIPPLE PREGAME — New UMass football coach Mark Whipple was a featured
attraction prior to the game. After greeting fans in the concourse, he
met with Court Club members in a pregame reception. After the national
anthem, he threw the ball up as part of a ceremonial tipoff and then
took the microphone to address the crowd to a standing ovation."
