Today we play college football's probably most storied team. This year's Irish team may be their best since they played Alabama in 2013's National Championship game.
Obviously, the Minutemen are a big underdog in this game. We are on national TV. I hope UMass plays motivated and gives the Irish a game today. The national TV exposure could help recruiting and interest in the team.
Mrs Blog and I will be there wearing our UMass colors and cheering for the Minutemen. Hope all UMass fans will appreciate the moment and, win or lose, it's another step in building the team.
UMass added another three-star recruit a day ago. I'll report on that probably tomorrow. Out of six verbals, four are three-star recruits. I think the future is bright for Minutemen.
Go UMass!!!
