I picked up the Sporting News College Football yearbook yesterday. It gives some props to UMass.

Blake Frohnapfel is the only player with an image on the MAC synopsis page. It also has a "overated" and "underrated" capsule.

Underrated:

"UMass is its final season in the MAC, but the one-time laughingstock has plenty of offensive weapons, making bowl eligibility a realistic goal"

Frohnapfel is also listed as "best passing QB" in the league.

A Hustle Belt writer previews the 2015 Miami Redhawks and predicts the 2-10 Miami team will beat UMass on November 21st "in a defensive struggle".

UConn ditches the ugly dog face helmets. Sporting News picks UConn 5th in AAC's East Division.

Speaking of uniforms, a Bleacher Report writer picks 10 teams that could use new designs. Two of the ten come from the MAC.

The Boston Globe takes a shot a UMass alumni license plates. I know I've said this before, but I think it's downright weird that the state's dominate media outlet flat dislikes the state university. Massachusetts is the only state in the union where this happens.

NBC Sports says Netflix is not going to join the bidding war for college football games.
