Forgot the "important" part

The announcers for the game:

Football pregame coverage begins 30 minutes prior to the kickoff of each contest hosted by the Voice of the Minutemen Jay Burnham, Tyler Murray, Pete Brock, Adam Frenier and Nathan Strauss. Home football games can be streamed through ESPN3 or ESPN+ (subscription required) with Burnham on play-by-play, Andy Gresh as analyst and Matt Goldstein reporting from the sidelines.

A sideline reporter alone means it’ll be a better product, lest we forget the Brewer “benching”.

That's brisk! Weather is always a potential factor once you slip into October.

It’s called “football weather” for a reason

At least the game is at 3:30, should catch mostly the 54 degree period.

LU is on Fall Break today, so I had time to read a few UMass message boards about game. Here was one quote:

We [UMass ]will make fun of them from the stands.. they [LU] will make fun of us on the field.

Had a dream last night we lost this game 4-3...yes we lost to two safeties. I was absolutely furious and screaming at the TV.

FIFY

I look forward to not having to play this garbage team or interacting with their fans.

I get the sentiment. They're everything they claim us to be... dogmatic, inflexible and bigoted. Who cares? At the end of the day it's football. As long as they remain an easier D1-A win that gets us one game closer to the magic number of 6 every year... keep 'em on the schedule.

A shot in the dark but I figured I would try. Anyone got a couple tickets for the game tomorrow? Thinking about making a last minute trip down from NH to Amherst.

We have lost to worse teams that UMess over the years.

Not under Coach Freeze's watch. The Ken Karcher days are in the rearview mirror, Ballcoach.
