Spring, summer and fall are great but why ruin a nice visit there to see MAC basketball in the middle of winter? It’s hilarious that someone actually is trying to sell this 🤣

It is what it is

For me it's because I am genuinely interested. I grew up in the area, went to basketball camp one year there, went to MANY hoops games there both in the Cage and Mullins, Football too. Dad is an alum, many family and friends are grads from there. I think they will be more competitive in the...

Yes! They will be able to say “hey non existent UMass/MAC fans, look at this HUGE check we’re cashing! We know no one is watching but go us!” It is def about chasing the dollars. It’s similar to UConn in that our fans hated the AAC and their fans will hate the MAC. The main difference is...

Right - so there’s no reason to move up at all. It’ll be a failure from the start and they will have less fan and donor support which is already happening. They don’t have the support in the legislature either so a new stadium is out of the question too

So they decided to move up knowing there was no commitment from the state. Seems like a really bad plan and are doomed to fail - which will happen as I’ve said all along. The MA legislature is corrupt as it is and loaded with bcu supporters. They look down on the western part of the state and...

Then it’s even more foolish for UMass to double down on this. Should have stayed at FCS where they were good and not done this at all. To think moving to the MAC in all sports with one of the worst stadiums in the country is truly laughable

No question on the dropping down thing. Too much pride for a lot of ADs who didn’t read the room UMass included. They definitely can compete in the MAC, it’s just that no one around here will care. It’s a lower level example of what it was like when UConn was in the AAC for hoops.

Or they could go back to FCS where they had legitimate success and the stadium/facilities were fine for that level. Comparing the Midwest to the northeast for college football isn’t any surprise. It’s not just MA, it’s the whole region. College football is a different animal there compared to...

Pretty clear that Pitt, Syracuse, bcu and FSU are all going to be horrible in the ACC this year. As bad as the Big East is, the ACC will be right there with us.

No one said they were. But the clown AD thinks the MAC opponents are going to fill hotels - HAHAHAHAHA. They will end up with less fan interest and less donor support. It’s already happening. So it’ll essentially be the same as it is now except with less attendance and interest. But I will...

Maybe they can get into the SEC then! But no one is heading to Amherst for Bowling Green and Kent State

It’s not “inherently” bad. They will just end up in a worse spot than they are now (and that’s hard to do). Less fans, less support in a conference no one in western MA cares about one iota. For them to gaslight everyone talking about filling up hotels by going to the MAC is so embarrassing...

No one said they were. But the clown AD at UMass think MAC schools are going to cram western MA hotels with fans who cannot wait to see Eastern, Western and Central Michigan when it will lead to less interest and support among the base. It’s hilarious to watch them desperately try to sell it

But you didn’t address that no MAC team will “fill hotels” in western MA for anything whether it’s on a Saturday afternoon or a Tuesday night. Try again
