Friday--May 27th, 2016


UMass announces a 12:00 Noon kickoff for UMass-BC on September 10th.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UMass will attend the football recruiting satellite camp at Cheshire Academy in CT.

South Point Vegas Sports Book has UMass' win total for 2016 as 2.5. As I pointed out a couple of days ago, few if any,  Group-of-Five teams would be anything other than 0-6 against Florida, BC, Mississippi State, Louisiana Tech, South Carolina and BYU.

UMass should be competitive with FIU, Tulane, Old Dominion, Wagner, Troy and Hawaii. The Minutemen could have a better team than last year and again have three wins. No more Eastern Michigan on the schedule. Our talented 2016 recruiting class should show more wins starting in 2017.

Former UMass A.D. Ian McGraw has been sanctioned as part of the football troubles at Baylor University.

ESPN has more on Baylor's troubles.

OT, but the News-Observer says UMass is favored to win the ultimate frisbee tournament.
