Friday---July 29, 2011
CBS Sports has the top 1000+ NFL draft prospects. I found Emil Igwenagu ranked #16 in fullbacks(H-back). I couldn't locate Tyler Holmes or Jonathan Hernandez, but I didn't have much time to play with the site.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The UMass website has added video interviews with Tyler Holmes and Julian Talley to the CAA Media Day section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've already linked to this article by Matty V on the Indiana game, but I want to make a point. From the article:
"The clash will be the Minutemen's only home nonconference game in 2012. UMass will play a total of three nonconference games, two of which will be on the road. The first of those will be the season opener at Connecticut's Rentschler Field on Aug. 30, a Thursday night. The other will be either:
* a guarantee game - meaning the Minutemen would play a road game, likely at a big name opponent for a substantial amount of money
* the start of another one-for-one series on the road
* or the start of a two-for-one series on the road, in which the Minutemen would travel to an opponent twice and have that team play in Foxborough once."
UMass opens next year with UConn and Indiana. We are not likely to win either game. In addition, the Minutemen should be underdogs to all conference games in the first year in FBS. It might be nice to add a 12th game against a FCS team at McGuirk, so we won't have the potential for an eleven-loss season.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This year is the last for Rhode Island in the CAA. The Rams want to make it a good one.
2011 should be the only time UMass plays Old Dominion. The Monarchs went 17-5 in their first two years in football. The Virginia Times-dispatch says Old Dominion is looking to roar in their first season in the CAA.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FCS Championship game will be January 7th, 2012.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dallas strip clubs rejoice now that the Cowboys are opening camp.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TSN has an an article about Villanova's decision is huge for the CAA. Key quote from coach Talley "Villanova coach Andy Talley said. "We were (recruiting) with a number of I-A players initially and then once the Big East decided to continue to do more study, we lost those kids. And now we're back to recruiting pretty solid I-AA players."
