Dan gets together with a Western Michigan beat writer for his latest UMass pod cast.

He also as an article on the upcoming three-game home stretch. Dan says it was a perceived cheap shot on DT Daniel Maynes that drew a bench unsportsmanlike penalty. Robert Kitching will start in place of Maynes for the Broncos game.

The Kalamazoo Gazette says the winning play in UMass-Western Michigan could come on special teams. Kalamazoo is one MAC venue I've got to visit. When I was a kid at school, I used to look at a big map of North America and daydream (I was a big daydreamer)  about what was going on in exotic-sounding places. Last year on our trip to Alberta I finally got to see what Moose Jaw looked like. I definitely want to see downtown Kalamazoo. Following UMass will be excellent reason to do so.
