Downloaded season tickets this past weekend. I assume paper tickets have been mailed out

Did they even touch the second level or is it will the early 1990's there?

That’s too bad. Mullins is gonna be a mausoleum.

I think UMass football will improve because like you said, it's hard to intentionally be as bad as they have been the last 10+ years. McGuirk is a dump and short of a complete remodel, it wont make any difference. Also, I'm just saying that the MAC move will result in less interest and...

The Calhoun comparison isnt even close. He said it's doable because UConn was playing in the best hoops conference in the country and while they were playing some games in Greer, Gampel was already planned but hadn't been built yet. UMass isnt playing in a great football league and has a dump...

You are right on hockey Bongo. But hockey plays at highest level in the best league against regional rivals. Hockey East is probably the best collegiate conference in any sport due to quality of play and location of schools. As I mentioned earlier, the UMass fans that remember the glory days...

They truly have no good options is correct. So they took the one where less people will care and the MAC will be more of a disaster than what was there previously. They might as well be CCSU, Sacred Heart or Bryant at this point. UMass hasn’t even sniffed a bowl game this century. Totally gone...

I don't disagree. But the people that think the MAC is a viable option haven't been paying attention either. They've thrown in the towel and it's really too bad from a fan perspective. Even less people will care about the MAC than the A10. College football thru realignment has ruined...

I'm just a guy on a message board in the Conf Realignment Forum which no one but us sickos read so any excoriating of their decisions carry no weight whatsoever. All I'm saying is that it's a move that will make no difference and result in less fans for them and more apathy (which is hard to...

I'm in same boat as you. It can and will get worse in the MAC. The younger fans at UMass never connected with their athletics the way that the 40+ crowd did - for obvious reasons, they won. Now, UMass has alienated whatever fanbase remained and they have to try to grow a new one by playing...

Yes much like our football fans as you mentioned. The MAC isn’t a move up for them it’s at best a lateral move that prioritizes football which has been lower than dogsh*t since they went to FBS. Over those 14 seasons they’ve won a TOTAL of 26 games. The fans aren’t going to support MAC sports...

Essentially their hoops fans 40 years old and up remember UMass when they were really good or just good. It might seem crazy to us but they hold on to those days and envision and return to being in the mix for NCAA Tournaments. They made the tournament about 10 years ago (2014). As I’ve said...

It’ll be at least 30% less than that this year. Probably more. And the upside is WAY less. Season ticket sales are negligible now - no one wants to see MAC basketball. They should only play hockey in Mullins now - no reason to play hoops in an empty arena. Go back to 1985 and play in the Cage...

UMass is getting ROLLED today by Kent State who went 0-12 last year. As noted earlier in this thread their last two home games are at night during the week and they will likely have no wins. Family and friends will be at those games - actually not even friends. Hoops starts soon for them and...
