I dunno. I think the 1-A football experiment will always be doomed until they accept they're western Mass's school. The closest I think they can get to being more Massachusetts focused is if they build a stadium near, say, Worcester. Otherwise, what's the pull?BS UML '04, PhD UConn '09

Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread II
And in non-game, crowd related news- Love they put the flag around the arena again last night. The crowd is starting to get the hang of it. They made it past the bench in good time. The corner starts to be a problem. They need to start it a little earlier so it hits opposite the bench when the players come out and out before the play is really going. The Amherst fans sitting next to us were a little peeved when it came by during play. (Personally I thought it was merciful for them, we were buzzing their net).
Amherst Reject always makes me chuckle. I assume it makes them feel good but I have never associated Amherst with academic rigor. I always thought of it as a 'party' school. I am sure there is academic rigor but it isn't what it makes the news for. UML hits the news fairly regularly for innovative stuff. Amherst we only see the riots or recently shooters - could this be because they have a different channel out there?

Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread II
Depending on your level of optimism with Lowell next week really depends on who you root for in the BU/ND series. Lowell can still get third with a sweep of BC and a BU sweep of ND (Lowell holds the 3 way tiebreaker). That would end up putting Lowell 3, BU 4, and ND 5. Any points by ND and Lowell and BU will be playing in the QF, just depends on where, because neither is going to lose to UMass.
The goal is to get as many points as BU does next week in order to get the bye, however, Lowell can really solidify an at-large NCAA bid with a win against BC. There is a pretty sizable gap between Lowell and Cornell and Penn State.

Re: UMass Lowell 2015-2016 Season Thread II
It's really easy now. To get a bye the following 2 things need to happen next weekend:
1. Lowell needs to get at least 1 point
AND
2. Lowell needs to get at least the same number of points that BU does next weekend with 1 exception: Lowell ties BC twice and BU splits with Notre Dame.
If they both get swept, BU gets the 4 seed by tiebreakers (tiebreaker #3, record vs the 1st place team. They'd be 0-2 vs BC while BU is 0-1-1.)
If Lowell ties BC twice and BU splits with Notre Dame, BU wins the the tiebreaker (tiebreaker #2, conference wins.)
Any other scenario where Lowell and BU are tied, Lowell wins the tiebreaker, unless I've missed something.
Edit: I did miss one thing - a 3-way tie between Notre Dame, BU, and Lowell, which occurs if Lowell sweeps BC and BU sweeps Notre Dame. In that case, BU ends up 3rd, Lowell 4th, and Notre Dame 5th, which still gives Lowell a bye, but is a scenario where BU wins a tiebreaker vs Lowell.Last edited by ScottK; 02-20-2016, 11:13 PM.Charter Member of darin's "UML Seven"

So if Lowell wins and BU loses on Friday, we get the bye. If BC beats Lowell on Friday then BC clinches regular season title/top seed. Obviously would love to lock it up Friday but if not BC will only be playing for pride in Lowell on Saturday night.
