Wednesday before Old Dominion--October 5th, 2016

Old Dominion has a preview  for UMass up.

The UMass-ODU football game may be moved to get around hurricane Matthew. Options could be Saturday at Noon or Friday night. Or the game could be canceled outright. Even if played Friday night, UMass could face trouble in getting a flight out.

Mrs Blog and I may be bailing out of the Tidewater area. Local officials say Matthew may be a "generational" storm.

Matty Vautour says Whipple may use both Ford and Comis against Old Dominion.

Bobby Wilder talks about Coach Whipple and the upcoming UMass game.

With Old Dominion, the Minutemen will be facing another team that wants to run the ball.

Andrew Cyr of the UMass Daily Collegian says UMass may play both quarterbacks against the Monarchs.

There's been quite a bit of discussion about attendance and student participation at UMass games. The NY Times reports that students are a problem all over the college football landscape. Basically, students would rather hang out and play with their personal electronics. And these schools are Power Five programs that win consistently.
