Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 5120778, member: 1023"] Temple has some upside potential. When they have good coaches they have had solid teams. Rhule, Golden, Collins and Addazio all were fine. With Drayton they took the easy and cheap route and it burned them. It isn’t easy but it is doable. I think UMass will be fine in the MAC. They have something to play for, and while it might take a season or two they will be competitive. And for all the whining about UMass basketball taking a step down, including by people who should know better, come on It isn’t like they have been burning it up in the A10. It’s been 10 years since their last NCAA trip. Before that it was back in the 1990s. And the MAC is capable of getting 2 bids on occasion. Martin seems like a good coach and they’ll do fine there. It’s actually kind of sad what’s happened to UMass athletics other than hockey. I always thought they had potential to be a good program. They really should have been invited to join the Big East when the additions of Marquette and DePaul happened. Maybe when Cincy and Louisville happened. I hope we keep both on our football schedule.
