Wednesday--February 12th, 2014

Hope to see a lot of UMass fans at today's Signing Day event at the Amherst Brewing Company.

The MAC has sorta released its 2014 football schedule.

If you like college football, UMass' 2014 home schedule is pretty attractive. Schools marked with a * are crossovers from the MAC's West division.

Home: Boston College (7-6) , Colorado(4-8), Bowling Green(10-4), Buffalo(8-5), Ball State(10-3)*, Eastern Michigan(2-10)*

Away: Vanderbilt (9-4), Penn State (7-5), Akron(5-7), Kent State(4-8), Miami (OH)(0-12), Toledo(7-5)*

Tough home schedule for the Minutemen. Bowling Green, Ball State and Buffalo are all good teams. Eastern Michigan looks like the best home bet.  The Minutemen have a decent chance for wins on the road with Akron, Kent State and Miami (OH).

The Boston College football blog "BC Interruption" breaks down the Eagles signing class. As I mentioned before, it was a tough year in the Bay State for the Minutemen. UMass signed one recruit that had a BC offer. The Eagles signed 10 recruits with UMass offers.

ESPN wonders if Boston College can keep it going in 2014.

Colorado's class was ranked last in the PAC-12

Auburn fans heckle a Alabama recruit.
