Congrats hoops III

The UMass football blog would like to congratulate the UMass Hoops team for their gritty performance in the NIT.

The UMass team played with heart all the way through.

Congrats Hoops II

Well, yesterday was a busy day. Got home just in time to see the Minutemen hoops team run themselves into the NIT Championship game. Click here for tons of hoops articles.

Good going on the first ever open comment thread yesterday. We'll have to do that again when we have something to talk about during the season. Everybody did good except for the April Fools day post about Coen not starting.

Some UMass-Xavier images

I don't usually blog on any other UMass Sports except for football, but Mrs. Blog got me a 18-55 Canon zoom lens for Christmas.

With no football to photograph, I took it to the Sunday's UMass-Xavier hoops game. I also cranked up the effective ISO to 1,600. The lens does not have image stabilization.

Anyway, here are twelve images from that game.

Nice work to UMass Soccer & Basketball


As you know, I bleed Maroon & White for UMass football.

However, I did have UMass basketball season tickets for a number of years. Since moving to New Hampshire, Mrs. Blog and I have been doing weekend games.

Congratulations to UMass basketball for their big wins over Syracuse and Boston

Looks like someone finally figured out the college basketball is guard oriented.

Also kudos to UMass Soccer for their trip the the Final Four.

Be sure to check out the UMass All-Sports Blog by Bob McGovern. Despite the fact that I have snow tires older than he is, McGovern does an outstanding job covering all UMass sports.

Now if only he would explain what "offsides" is in hockey ?????????

UMass History 1971

A former UMass player Ed Hajdusek, who played for UMass 1971-'73, was kind enough to send us scans of some UMass historical material.

The following are scans of the 1971 team photo and the 1971 football roster. Right click and Blogger displays a larger view.

1971 was Dick MacPherson's first year as UMass coach. The 1971 UMass squad went 4-4-1 and 3-1-1 in the Yankee Conference. That was UMass' 7th Yankee Conference championship.

Special thanks to Ed for taking the time to provide us with these scans. I don't have any material earlier than 1976.
