Last year we played an emotional game against Army and lost by a close score.The next game was against Hofstra and we were flat as the man in this kid's drawing. That loss knocked us out of the playoffs.
This year, we again played a great effort against Navy and came up short. Will UMass have another subpar performance against Villanova?
If we loose to Villanova, we will start the season 1-2. We still have to play UNH and other tough A10 teams. UMass could be again "the best team not to make the playoffs". We need this one.
Andy Talley just challenged his players to get mean.
Matt Dougherty has us winning in his weekly I-AA review.
The odds guy Keeper has UMass by 14.
Hopefully, the UMass seniors will have UMass ready to play. If not, the 2006 season could be again be in trouble.
UPDATE: Bruce Dowd has his weekly A10 column A10 Den up. Note that he spends a lot of time talking about emotion. Lots of UMass stuff.
