Today is going to be an odd day for me. As you know, I'm in Flagstaff attending an astronomy conference. I'm going to be one of the speakers today. After the formal session, the attendees will have a tour of Lowell Observatory's facilities at Anderson Mesa and then we get to sit in on a speckle interferomety session on the Discovery Channel's 4.3 meter telescope. This kind of stuff doesn't happen to me often.
So that means I won't be able to listen to the game or even know the score until I get back early in Sunday morning. You guys will have to do the cheering for me. Both UMass fans and the staff and players deserve a victory. I know when I turn on my computer early Sunday there'll be lots of happy comments.
Go UMass!
