Game Day---Hawaii 2017

OK, it's finally Game Day. Entering our sixth season in FBS, it's been a long tough road for UMass fans, coaches and players. Today the Minutemen have a chance to break the meme and start 2017 with a win. This UMass team has the most talent since we've gone FBS. The Minutemen need to put it together and make some football plays today.

For me, it's the start of my 41st consecutive year with UMass season tickets. I'd really like to drive back to New Hampshire with a win in my pocket.

Win or lose, I'll be there rooting for the Minutemen

Go UMass!!!!
