HUGE GAME. Undefeated at home. It's upset time.

UMass is a formidable opponent. They aren't some tomato can from the SWAC with a sub par website. The team needs us all to be there, and for each of us to bring at least one friend. If you do not have a friend, I will be your friend.

UMass was just a super addition to MAC football, and Dr. Steinbrecher needs to do everything in his power, including extortion, to convince the Minutemen that they want to join our happy Mid-American family in all sports. Our institutions are extremely similar. Even though Ohio University pre-dates the founding of the Massachusetts Agricultural College MAC -- it's like fate!) by 58 years, there are parallels that demand we work together. Just look at past graduates:

UMass boasts of annoying TV personality Jeff Corwin, Ohio has Nancy Cartwright.
Washed up actor Bill Pullman is a UMass graduate. Richard Dean Anderson went to Ohio.
Fake TV newsman Rob Corddry went to UMass. Ohio has Martin Savidge.
Bill Cosby did his graduate study at UMass and wears a Temple sweatshirt often. Thousands upon thousands of Ohio graduates wear sweatshirts from other schools.
Singer Taj Mahal went to UMass. Ohio has.... awww pickles....

Winter storms have largely missed the Southeast Ohio corridor, leaving only bothersome trifles of snowfall. A short warmup is on the way, but will not arrive soon enough for melting snows to create flooding concerns in low-lying areas. The biggest traffic concern will be to avoid the tow trucks descending upon Convocation Center parking lots at the 5:00 chime after the memo distributed to University employees warned them that lots would be closed and measures taken on game days. Be safe out there.

In reading their board they are a little full of themselves.   You'll also note that their game threads for their next two games have more posts in them than our game.  Let's hope their team is taking a similar focus.

you know what, @$#% UMass and their ignorant fans. Spot on in comparing their delusional arrogance to Temple. Who do they think they are??

They're in a multi-bid league and haven't danced in 15 years and we're in a 1 bid league and have danced 3 times since then and have been to a Sweet 16?! Sorry losers, but Marcus Camby left the building a looong time ago. Your conference handed out FIVE bids last year and you couldn't earn one? #$%@ you.

I'm amazed at how uninformed and down right ignorant their fan base is.

And its not just that many of them sound like a bunch of arrogant pricks, they do, its how uninformed they are in their arrogance. They have some things to be excited about, sure, good for them, but get over yourselves talking about us like that.

I need to hold the shift key down and punch a bunch of numbers and them I'm through for now.

@#@#%##@^*^%$%$%# UMass.

That really bothered me as well,but he didn't say he graduated from Ohio, just that he attended from 06-08. I'm hoping he transferred from here to UMAss, and that's why he's rooting for them. Plus, he recommended Skipper's, which has been closed for years.

Forgive the kid for not knowing that Skipper's is gone, buy why - Why - would anyone ever recommend Skipper's if it were still here?

I wish I could find the quote I saw on their board in aother thread because I'm sure its the same guy but it was something along the lines of "Ohio's gym is boring, nobody goes to the games. I mean, I lived in it and didn't even bother going!"

This is what I mean by uninformed ignorance. If you're going to talk trash, do so accurately. Please improve the quality of your trash talking UMass fans.

I went to Skippers once in my 4 years in Athens, and it was only to complete a shuffle. I had a couple friends that went there every now and then to have table tap races. That's about it, though.

The best way to shut people up is to beat them.  Let's try beating them and see if that does it.

Did you really read all the posts. Here is the last one by Chris20 on page 7.
