He's been a little in his cups, me thinks?????

Here is the link to the Akron thread. Remember most of the posters there think UMass is too good for the MAC and think football should be downgraded or dropped. Also note that the OT loss to Yale had an attendance of 2,212. (No one asked me and in the minority, but wanted to go all sports in the MAC when we had a chance. Bad timing as the A10 was at it's peak with 6 NCAA bids and the CFP made the money a no brainier for the ultimatum. Off my soap box apologies but most probable don't go the csnbbs MAC board.) https://www.umasshoops.com/newboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=16279

Several years ago Huggins told me they would play in Akron for about a $275,000 guarantee. I am willing to kick in $20 to fund such a game. Now if 13,750 others would do the same (ignoring the possible effect of inflation on the guarantee) we've got a home game against the Mountaineers.

And his girth seemed to be one double cheeseburger away from OL range......?

No denying that Glass went bananas at a very bad time in a showcase game. Glass ranked #23 in passing yards in the Country in 2019, but his height is short for the NFL (he did break Charlie Batch's single season total offense record in 2019 and was considered an NFL prospect). He may be picked up or given a shot somewhere in some league, but this crazy swinging act at the end of the game, which was in reach with time running out, will hurt him. I hope he got his degree.

This is a winnable game for either team. Yes we have some young talent but imho the coaching staff has some x's and o's issues. We were doing well at home against Virginia with an aggressive trap. Took the Virginia coach 6-7 minutes to adjust and lead to numerous easy buckets. Our coach staff did not adjust during the 8,12,16 and halftime time outs. You could argue they barely adjusted. The other issue that happens over and over is opponents inbounding under their basket and getting easy points. We'd be an average team in the MAC and this game is up for grabs. Be a good sign for either team heading into conference play. A successful year in my eyes is a 500 season and limited use of trapping. More man to man half court defense. Regardless of the out come on the 30th, hope we continue to play in both Football and Basketball.
