More academic honors

Story here .
Evans was not mentioned in my previous blog post about eleven UMass players being named to the CAA All-Academic team. He’s a graduate student so perhaps he’s not [...]

DVD’s of UMass Football Games available
This was brought to my attention by “UMass’96” over on the UMass Message board. The NCAA has DVD’s of former UMass Football games.
It’s called “NCAA on Demand“.
It’s got UMass’ 1998 Championship game as well as other playoff games. I’m going to order the 1998 Championship. I have a tape of that game, but you will [...]

2008 Opponent —Bryant University
The UMass brain trust managed a slick bit of scheduling for 2008. UMass’ schedule is loaded with strong teams next fall. We face four ‘07 playoff teams (UNH, JMU, Delaware and Richmond) as well as BCS power Texas Tech. Holy Cross was 7-4 and could well contend for the Patriot League title.
The goal of playing [...]

Official notice that Kumar Davis signed with UMass
UMass has officially confirmed Saturday’s blog post that Kumar Davis has signed with the Minutemen.
Worth reading as it adds a number of All-Star teams not previously reported.
Still some recruiting to go, I’ll bet.

Monday Morning 02/25/08 Odds & Ends
Nice payout FCS/I-AA team Cal Poly is getting for playing Wisconsin.
Tanner Boucher a 6-4 QB we recruited from Keene, NH signed with Army.
I thought this article was interesting about 40 yard dash times. It follows my contention that most published 40 times are junk unless electronically timed.
Terrelle Pryor is still available. I guess we didn’t [...]

A couple of articles
This article in the Tribune-Star is kinda interesting. It goes along with my contention that the difference between I-A and I-AA has closed recently (for the FCS playoff teams anyway). In I-A, the BCS and the non-BCS teams seem to be separating somewhat.
Key Quote:”Well, I-AA [FCS teams] is a little bit different. The difference [...]
