Well, at least I get to watch the game on ESPN3 today. I had a bad feeling about the Miami (Ohio) game all day last Saturday. I think I may still have an UMass "National Champion" t-shirt somewhere. Maybe I'll wear that while watching to see if I change change the Ju-Ju.

Kent State is a team with a formidable defense. They've been in most games they've played. The Minutemen need to stop those second-half turnovers. Anytime you turn the ball over three times in the fourth quarter, you're going to have trouble. Jimmie Reid use to talk about responsibility. Each player's job is his responsibility. Play your position and let everyone play theirs. Stop the turnovers and, when needed, kick the freakin' ball through the uprights.

UMass players and fans have certainly paid their dues. Losing is making everyone crazy. Let's break through and win today.

Go UMass!!

Not a lot of media coverage on today's game between two 0-6 teams. So OT, I'll express my sorrow to hear of the death of Lari Ketner. Thirty-seven is much too early. Ketner was a giant of a man who always seemed to have a distracted air when he played for the Minutemen. I was glad to hear he had found peace at the end.
