Kent State has their game notes for UMass up.

Dan Malone reports on speaking with A.D. Ryan Bamford on schedule revisions and future games at McGuirk.

As I said yesterday, this is very good news for UMass football. Long term schedules with UConn and BC will help everybody's attendance numbers. Minutemen fans can take a day trip to the "away" games. Costs will be contained. Last year, UMass won more games than UConn did, so we should be competitive with the Huskies at least. The UMMB probably could attend at least some of the games at Chestnut Hill and at Rentschler.

Adding more games with FIU is good business too. The Panthers home turf is in UMass' recruiting wheelhouse and more exposure there could really help.

Being able to vary the split at Gillette to 2-4 should be big help in game flexibility also. Good work by Bamford!
