Game Day Boston College-- August 30th, 2014

Welcome to game day! Hope to see a bunch of UMass fans at Gillette.


UMass cadence. Turn your speakers up all the way up.

Dan Malone has his Season Preview II covering UMass hopes for a more aggressive defense and more consistency on special teams.

He also say the Minutemen open with an emotional game against the Boston College Eagles.

Matty Vautour says both UMass and Boston College have a lot of unknowns to start the 2014 season.

Lots of vitriol from BC Interruption: Gloating about the 1974 70-8 Eagle victory in 1974. A.J. Black makes fun of UMass and the Boston area working class.

Smile UMass fans. We're inside their heads already :)

As a direct descendant of some working class Irish ------ and eight years of Catholic school, I'll comment with the following:

 Sarcasm and abuse are the mark of an arrogant man,
     but vengeance lies in wait like a lion for him.
