If you didn't get a chance to watch the MAC conference introductory press conference yesterday, I'd recommend it.
A.D. Bamford hinted at a capital campaign to upgrade the football facilities and area surrounding the stadium. Chancellor Reyes also seemed as if he was on board for more investments in athletics.
The star of the show was basketball coach Frank Martin who said he was at UMass to win and he was excited about the future of UMass hoops.
After a decade of wandering in the desert, maybe yesterday was the inflection point for UMass football and basketball.
