Wow seems like a downgrade in hoops.   Yeah, it's a downgrade for basketball, but it gives them a much better position for football. The reason they left the MAC earlier was because the MAC said they had to be all-in or all-out. On the plus side for them, their route to the conference autobid for b...

Well...this is fairly unexpected news. UMass will be joining the MAC as a full member starting in 2025-26. They had been a football-only affiliate from 2012 to 2015, but had tried to go the independent route for the last 8 years.

On the subject of pep band, do we have one tonight or not?  Was there was a conflict with a band conference or something?   It's ok if we dont.  We just have to go acapella in a very loud way, in harmony or not.    ;)     No pep band today, alumni helping out with the pep band on Saturday because i...
