I think next year is the first full season that UMass will see that financial commitment for football they have talked about. Even then with the state of the program it will probably take them time to compete. Basketball is a different story. IMO Frank Martin is a washed has been who the game has passed by. His tough coaching style doesn't work in today's player empowerment era. Not to mention despite having an NIL budget that is 2-3x+ most MAC schools he seems to struggle at evaluating talent as his roster is on par with several MAC schools who are shopping TJ Maxx and Walmart clearance bins for players.

Knowing how the game ends still didn’t prevent me from stressing for the whole 13 minutes of highlights. But the payoff is so worth it again, thank you!! Our guys had a ton of grit that night. Also, I’m not going to miss Ipsaro this year. Just saying.

What a disappointing addition umASS is looking to be to the MAC. Putting a lot of money into football and can’t win a game. Basketball is looking more mid to lower tier of the conference rather than a contender.

I'm here to admit I was wrong. 😆

Both those teams have had a very up and down season. Hard to know which team shows up for each of them, Jekyll or Hyde.

75 -75 1.43 left

Miami was at 54 points at the half and just cross over 60 with just over 12 minutes to play in the 2nd half.

Great game in Toledo now

Miami like Akron has depth. Not BG. BG has some nice players just not enough

A lot of people were saying this at halftime last March...

the longer the winning streak the harder the fall. See Zips 2013 and 2024.

Better be ready to guard the 3 Saturday. Miami moneyline was too easy.

Miami is shooting 70% from the field and 63% from 3P. BUGS is shooting 33% from the field and 10% from 3P with 8 turnovers so far in the 1st half. Unbelievably embarrassing performance by BUGS at home.

Akron players totally dominated the 2025 MLS awards https://www.si.com/soccer/mls-player-poll-top-trash-talker-worst-locker-room-most-desired-club Most Underrated - Darlington Nagbe Most Fashionable - DeAndre Yedlin Best Trash Talker - Richie Laryea

Miami up 36-15 already. Is it possible that BG are once again frauds? 😆

I know UMass is not that great but they're only -2.5 tonight at EMU. If I were a betting man (which I'm not at this present moment), I'd be on that for UMass. At least on the moneyline.

That Akron team couldn't score at all like this team can. Akron shot 46% from the field and 33% from 3P. Miami shot 49% from the field and 50% from 3P on 30 attempts(!). Miami lost by 2. Miami is largely the same team and are now down their #2 scorer. Good luck keeping up with one of the top offenses in college basketball.

They are announcing their intent. I’m sure there’s tampering going on in a number of situations.

I thought the same thing for the first 5 minutes and last 5 seconds of last year's MAC Championship game.

OU @ CMU game on ESPN+ right now. Sloppy play by both teams.

Porter was a senior at Wichita State when Shammah was a freshman. They bonded over their work ethic, see each other as big brother/little brother and have maintained contact. PS- I survived every Literature class through Cliffs Notes.

These P4 coaches that have been gaming the system for years are all of a sudden outraged by the open lawless environment. It was much better for them when there were laws that kept the average Joe in check while they subverted the legal system themselves. The coaches are the reason we're in this mess.

It doesn't really make a huge difference who wins between Miami or BG IMO. One is ranked 79 and the other is 82. The metrics the committee uses views them about the same.

Season tickets are down to $53, which is an incredible deal for 8 home games. The Kent game alone tickets start at $25 so you pretty much get tickets to 7 other games for $28.
