The UMass "Midnight Ride" collective has their latest "Outside Amherst" pod cast up.
It must have been recorded prior to Wednesday's MAC intro press conference as they talk about how Basketball coach Frank Martin will feel about the change in conferences. I thought Frank was the star of the press conference. He got me fired up. I think UMass basketball is in good hands and has a bright future.

In more OT: I watched the Dayton-VCU game on TV last evening. Remember when Coach Cal got a technical in the NCAA's for being out of the coaches box? In last night's game, both team's coaches were out on the court while the game was in play. In one sequence, on VCU's end of the court, the VCU coach walked about five feet onto the court and pushed his player in the direction he wanted him to go. Another time, one of the refs put his arm around Dayton's coach and towed him off. No technicals were called..
