UMass Football News--April 6th, 2019

I drove down to Amherst to watch the UMass practice on Thursday. Could have picked a warmer day.

If any blog reader is fairly local to Amherst I recommend attending a practice. It was fast paced. The players were not standing around waiting for the next drill. A young coaching staff was involved in teaching. There was no old guy with a whistle swearing at the players. In fact there was was remarkably little cussin' at all.

The only coach I got to say a couple of words with was Jason Tudryn. Saw him play for UMass and had a couple of long talks with his dad back in the day. That had me feeling a little old.

Several of the players called me "Sir".

Out of his jacket and tie, Coach Bell looks as if he could still catch some passes. He was rolling on the turf at one point to demonstrate a point.






I'll have some more images Monday
