Tuesday before Rhode Island--Nov 16th, 2010

Image above is a scan from last week's game program. Click on the image and blogger displays a larger view.

The weekly FCS polls are out. UMass is 19th in both of them.
The Polls don't mean much this week. It's beat Rhode Island or we're out.

Matty V has a story breaking down the the football playoffs. It includes quotes from UMass AD John McCutcheon, the former chair of the selection committee. UMass has made a financial bid for a first round playoff, if we are selected.

The UMass-Holy Cross BB game may be moved earlier or later if it conflicts with a home playoff game.

Former UMass assistant appointed Head Coach at Idaho State


Matt Dougherty of College Sports News has a long, well-reasearched article on FCS/I-AA coaching changes for 2007.

Most of the coaching changes are centered in the West or the HBC's. However, there is one UMass connection. Idaho State has hired John Zamberlin, former UMass assistant coach under Jimmy Reid. Zamberlin was linebacker coach for UMass 1987-90.

Patriots fans may remember him as a linebacker for New England in the 1970's.
