Sunday---May 8, 2011

Ok, well that was the longest the Blog has been silent for several years. Sorry, I just could not get the motel's WIFI to work. The Blog has been such a regular event in my life these last years, it was a little weird to be without it.

While I was trapped in the black hole, Tyler Holmes was named the top linebacker in FCS for 2011. I thought Holmes looked even bigger and stronger at the Spring game. Moving him back inside should allow him to ring up some huge numbers in his senior season.

Victor Cruz (Giants Bio) took part in an improvised passing camp run by Eli Manning.

MassLive has an image gallery of the new UMass Football offices. It pretty much matches what I took in the Spring Game images.

Former UConn players have not had a lot of success in the NFL. It will be interesting to see how the New England recruiting wars play out. UMass was the #1 FCS team in number of players in the NFL last year. The Minutemen were also #1 in the CFL. UMass could make a dent in both BC's and UConn's influence in the Northeast.
