As you probably know by now the Globe took another shot at UMass Football over the weekend. I'm not going to link to it (why give their failing business model any traffic), but you might want to post some replies or write the editor.
It would be nice if someone stood up for us, like Stan Rosenberg, for instance. He's from Amherst, he claims to be pro-jobs, pro-Western Mass and he's President of the State Senate. As I have stated a number of times, every time some Mass resident buys a tank of gas to go the game, buys a meal at restaurant, or makes any UMass-related purchase, the state government gets a piece of the action. UMass football is beneficial to the Commonwealth; something the Globe will never be.

OT, but while looking for UMass football recruiting news, I hit this piece about Bruce Brown, a four-star hoops recruit. The article says the Minutemen are recruiting him actively.
