Hi
@Cmakar16
, by staying in school a little longer, you likely have had the opportunity to learn when to use "complicit" and when to use "implicit" in a tweet.

Hello everyone.
Remember that time the University of Massachusetts swept Boston College and finished the deed in a Conte Forum jam-packed with UMass fans?
I do. It was pretty cool.
Carry on.

In the last couple of days,
@UMassAmherst
alumni raised enough money to send
@MDCollegian
sportswriters to Buffalo for the Frozen Four and convinced the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to turn the Zakim Bridge maroon for the game.
My diploma is extra pretty today.

All I ever want is for my football team to be tough and credible. That's what UMass was today. Do that every week and you're a bowl team.
Tonight feels good. The team has taken on the soul of Don Brown, and that's all I can ask.

Frank Martin, in his first season, has as many/more wins (13) than Calipari (10), Lappas (13), Ford (13), DK (12) or McCall (13) had in their full first seasons.
UMass isn't a quick-fix gig. It takes time, and - social media drama aside - this season is promising.

After getting absolutely napalmed by Penn State on the road, UMass could have completely folded up the rest of the season.
Instead they went back on the road and won a game they were unanimously picked to lose.
Well done fellas.

My favorite thing about the UMass fanbase: We've been punched directly in the chops for an American decade and after one win against New Mexico State, we're all ready to beat Auburn on the road.

I've been watching the vitriol and anger on UMass Twitter the past couple of days, and I want to share some observations:
For 30 years, UMass has fumbled the bag at every opportunity. When basketball was at its peak, UMass did nothing. When football was at its peak, same.

If I am going to call the Globe out when they hide UMass success, I am going to give a big thumbs up when they showcase the goods out front.

Isn't it interesting that a school on the other side of the state can take over every arena in Boston, but a school that calls itself Boston College can't.
I think that's interesting.
But I talk crazy sometimes.

UMass fans have been let down so many times - in so many unique ways. Lucy always pulls the football away.
I thought it was going to happen again last night. I was waiting for it. I felt it in my bones.
But the moment never came, and that made all those other moments worth it.

Seems to me that UMass needs:

I understand people are upset, and that's totally reasonable. I understand people are excited, and that's also totally reasonable.
What's unreasonable is to see this news and throw your hands up and say: "UMass won't be successful, and I'm out."
That's how losing happens.

Big groups of UMass fans at separate road events overwhelming olde guard New England schools.

So, UMass beats Lowell to win the Hockey East title at the Mullins Center, then it proceeds to cruise to the Frozen Four where it eventually gets revenge over Duluth in overtime with a depleted roster.
For someone who has followed UMass since 2001, none of this makes sense.

This sucks for these guys, and it sucks for the team and the fans.
But let's be clear: I am driving my dumb ass nine hours to Pittsburgh at the crack of dawn on Thursday, and I 100 percent still believe that these goddamned legends are going to get revenge for 2019.

There are 130 FBS teams. At at least 125 of those schools, losing to URI at home - on Homecoming - is a fireable offense.
If you want to show a conference you care, be like the 125, not the five.

At the Houston/Temple game, just now. I'm wearing a UMass sweatshirt.
UConn (?) fan: UMass sucks, buddy. Go UConn!
Me: We literally just beat you in football, during your Homecoming.
Very, very drunk Houston fan: OOOOOOH sit down UConn!!!
I love football.

For what it's worth:
If you have a problem with UMass kids storming the field after the last three years, I hope you stub your toe.
And I hope it's on that weird metal part of the box spring.

There is no need to belittle Whipple. He very likely saved this program from going to an even darker place. His players love him, and so do the alumni.
I respect what he did here, but I also understand that FBS football calls for FBS decisions. Look around. It's a results biz.

I totally forgot that UMass is going to have to get a sign on the Pike that says "2021 National Champions - Hockey."
I'm going to hate seeing that when I drive out for UMass/BC.

UMass has one chance to make a good first impression on a full generation of students who have been shut out of athletics by the pandemic, but in classic UMass fashion they completely botch it in a weird and - frankly - shady way. (1/x)

In response to a public records request, UMass provided the materials it sent around in pursuit of a conference. It appears that, in addition to CUSA, the MAC also received a copy.
The contents are essentially the same, save for the order of a few pages.

My good friend (and freshman roommate in Washington Tower) is driving out to Pittsburgh with his son today, and we're going to watch the alma mater play for a national championship.
So,

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that UMass and Boston College should agree on one thing:
Division I basketball in Massachusetts has been really bad for too long, and our schools inability to win is a major part of that.
Also, we should play each other.

Honestly, the KLA recommitment could be a watershed moment. He easily could have left, but
@MidnightRideNIL
and others helped change his mind.
If there are people on staff/in the fan base side eyeing NIL and collectives, this changes the conversation entirely.

Frustrating but not surprising.
It's a popularity contest, and it's not popular to give the best receiver in the country this award if he's not with a blue blood program.
No player outside a P5 conference has won since 1998.
Hell of a year Andy. You deserved this.
Congratulations to Jerry Jeudy of Alabama

Every once in awhile, I take my first steps outside, and a smell in the air brings me back to fall in Amherst. I have my rugby gear, my Collegian stuff and everything in front of me.
Then it vanishes, but the dumb smile on my face sticks around for a few more minutes.
Go UMass.

So, for all the crap he has gotten - and all the crap he deserves - Bamford deserves praise for this.
Now, let's go watch his hockey coach try to repeat as national champions. (fin)

No matter what happens in this game, I'll always remember it because my daughter took her first steps during it.
She turned away from the coffee table and walked right over to the TV after the muffed punt.

The fact that there are this many actually devastated UMass fans still around is the only moral victory from today.

UMass is less than 90 miles away from Boston College, but Boston College would rather travel 550 miles to play Richmond in basketball.

Matt Croth rules.
Matt Cross is a WARRIOR. Played with heart and guts today. Gets elbowed in the face cracks a tooth. Doesn’t miss a play and then goes double double in Umass vs. Dayton…
18pts and 14 rebounds in a near win in one of the toughest places to play!

Whatever goodwill UMass lost with Massachusetts high school coaches the past few years is all the way back and then some.
That may not seem important, but the Bay State has always been the lifeblood of this program and if UMass is going to be what it was - that starts at home.
