Game Day Florida International


The 2017 season ends today. It's been a remarkable year for UMass fans. The football program hit a FBS low (the loss to Coastal Carolina) and three new highs (four wins, victories over a league-leading team and BYU away). It would be nice to keep rolling with a win over FIU. It would really send the program into the off season on a high note.  It's always more fun writing the blog the week after a win than a loss. It would give me a warm glow for the next 266 days until August 25 2018.

I'll be watching and cheering for the Minutemen. Go UMass!
