Game Day Hawaii--November 26th, 2016

Well today is the last day of a rough season. UMass needs an upset to salvage something of a season with just too many Power Five teams. The Minutemen need to cut down on the mistakes---and I know I've said that a lot this year. The UMass defense actually did not play badly last week. There were three turnovers inside the Minutemen 20 yard line and a INT for a touchdown. A running into the kicker penalty ruined another defense stop.

I'm not exactly overjoyed at our chances for an upset, but Mrs Blog and I will be there cheering for the Minutemen.

GO UMASS!!!!

Matty Vautour says UMass will try to close a down season on an upbeat note.

The Boston Herald reports the Minutemen are seeking a winning finish.

Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich says the Warriors can't afford to take UMass lightly. I had an extensive conversation with Rolovich back at the Charlie Molnar introduction meeting. Seemed like a nice guy who knew his football. He ended up leaving UMass after about four months.
