there are no words.

halftime

 

[coachcap]

UMass is inept…Down 38--zip at the half. Checked again & it's 45-zip with 8 minutes letting 3rd quarter...

 

[cellocgg]

If this team goes 0-12, they have a case for being the worst winless team of all time

 

[Kolumbo]

UMass on the board with a field goal!

45-3 late 4th quarter
🤣

 

[Marbles90]

And UMass is at home.

NIU is a bad team. 2-7 overall. 1-4 in MAC.

It’s 45-0 in the 4th.

ETA: 6:23 left. NIU defender falls down. UMass receiver all alone heading to end zone. Drops the easy touchdown…

UMass settles for a field goal even though they are down by 45 points with 6 minutes left.

Kick is good and fireworks go off at the stadium. I wish I was making this up.

45-3

This is truly a different level of horrible.

 

[UConnDan97]

I used to view UMass as a rival in the early 90s in 1-AA, so there was some hatred. But now? I just feel kind of bad for them...

 

[BugsyCT]

They were a good 1-AA program (with a national title in '98) before they upgraded in 2012. They've been nothing but atrocious every year since.

 

[KryHavok]

Touch of class by NIU to not run for another TD at the end of the game. I don't hate UMass at all, but I'm glad their level of suck makes our previous level of suck kinda mild.

The fireworks clip got retweeted by Barstool for anyone interested

genuine question - Is UMass worse than we were AT OUR WORST?
if so, what makes them worse?

Horrible support for the program. They have never had any success since they upgraded to FBS football without any plan. We've invested in the program, they have not and are just plain horrible this year.

Has UConn ever went winless?

My bad, it was a response to Jetskies

 

[BugsyCT]

Tough times in Amherst. Remember when they rushed the field after beating us in 2021 when we were still horrible? Same vibe.

UConn still beat them, twice in 98 (the Huskies just ran into the #1 seed Georgia Southern in the second round and couldn't stop their option attack)

 

[Kolumbo]

ODU up on Troy 26-0 in the 3rd. Crazy....

I would say no. Our defenses under Randy 2.0 set records in futility.

 

[noeynox]

UMass may seem worse because it is happening now, but the screams for us to scrap fb or downgrade to fcs were not only coming from naysayers from across the country, you only had to go onto the bb boards on this forum to see the same.
