New Year's Day 2017


Mrs Blog and I wish all UMass football friends, family, players and coaches a "Happy New year". May 2017 bring health, happiness and peace.

The first thing in 2017 I'm looking forward to is Letter-of-Intent Day. Western Michigan went from 1-11 at the start of our venture into FBS football to the Cotton Bowl on Monday. They did it with four years of MAC-leading recruiting classes.

UMass, located in talent-arid New England will probably have to take more transfers and JUCO's than Western Michigan, but if they dramatically improved their talent level, we can do it too.

WMU WR Corey Davis bypassed the NFL and has the Broncos in the Cotton Bowl.

Western Michigan is an eight point underdog to Wisconsin.
