Re: Houston, we have a problem

The most alarming thing to me about where we are 1.8 seasons into the Archie Miller administration is the complete lack of a team culture. It seems like the importance of building the culture was not lost on Archie, as the Attitude is Everything slogan appeared pretty much immediately. But the follo...

Re: Conference Realignment

Nah, just shows how delusional UMass is about football. Even with the low period the A10 is in its still multiple tiers above the MAC. The MAC is Colonial/Patriot league level I’m not really sure why it matters. If you’re only getting one bid, what’s the difference if your conference is the 8th bes...

Re: Conference Realignment

The UMass move to the MAC for all sports is another sign of how far A-10 men's basketball has fallen. UMass chose not to join the MAC for all sports back in or around 2015 when it was forced to decide on all in or nothing. Back then the A-10 was in a stronger position sending 3 or more teams to the...
