Who the hell is the Faculty Senate to request a letter from the Friends of Football? I would have told them to shove their letter where the sun don’t shine! The Faculty Senate is full of pansies. The earlier post had it right. Who cares what they support or don’t support? Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way but please stop whining all the time.
Rent a room at the Campus Center and cry with each other while I go to Gillette and watch some football with family and friends.
The Faculty Senate can kiss my backside, you feel me?

Hello All
We are 7 days and counting until signing day and something like 90 days +/- until spring practice starts.
Really would rather be talking and hearing about UMass football versus the dubious Faculty Senate aka The Proletariat.
They can sqwak all day and it will not make any difference if the faculty senate supports UMass athletics or not. These airbags are only out for themselves and few if any support UMass Athletics.
Time to move on.

God knows we need them. Would be nice to have a kicker who can actually kick more than 30 yds
field goal that is
You can never have too many kickers, especially when they aren’t taking a scholarship spot.
Six kickers? Really? Really? Is this necessary?
Colter levengood and strait all are seniors. Maybe one of of them (levengood, strait) dont show up. These other kids can red shirt.
So do we have 6 kickers on the team? 2 commits and 4 returning?
Got to have a good kicker!! I like this.
