The Bamford/Martin press conference thing feels like the latest mini chapter in a never ending, pro wrestling-style kayfabe and all of us UMass fans on this site are just playing our roles by complaining about it despite knowing nothing will ever change.

@CurryHicksSage I attended the Cincinnati win at KU - nephew goes to KU - and Cincinnati manhandled KU. I was bummed because I wanted to hear rock chalk chant but was impressed with how UC was coached that game. Is he really on the hot seat?

@MaroonMusket Our 1996 women’s team (UMass) was an 8 seed - read that again- 8 seed at large bid out of the A-10. Power 4 will not let that happen in today’s era.

The national conversation about Miami perfectly encapsulates where college athletics is right now. There's a push from the power conferences to elbow out the smaller schools, some major pundits are nodding along, and the discourse on here is preposterous. It's JMU, but hoops.

Anyone in UMass twitterville interested in joining me in Cleveland for the women’s tournament? Cool thing about joining the MAC is our team gets to play in the same venue as the men, i.e, an NBA arena.

@CurryHicksSage Agree. But also, we have evidence, by virtue of watching the games, that you either practice fundamentals, or, you don’t.

There’s a lot of basketball coaches out there at the D1 level who haven’t reimagined the way they run offense or defense in a decade or more and a ton of them are now getting exposed. In the age of coach-as-king, you could get away with it. Not anymore.

I have made too many awesome friends through 3 plus decades of UMass fandom to not push back on this toxic narrative that I’m part of the problem. All I want is success and sometimes speaking out against failure is the only path left. Have a good new year.

I’m gonna take the bait and ask in good faith: what exactly would building entail? Resuming the UMass Basketball podcast and never uttering a single critical word? Donating to the Court Club or collective? Buying season tickets? Cause I’ve done all those things and more.

You have never wanted to be part of the solution. You profit from the problems and turned complaining into a side business. If you actually cared, you would help build instead of tearing everything down.

Ten years ago, March 2015, Ryan Bamford was hired at UMass. This game was played in September of 2015. Since that season, UMass football has been destroyed! @UMassChancellor Ten years is enough!
Chris Cronin@ccronin23

@SSN_UMass @MaroonMusket I was at that game with my son. Tied for a bit and only down 8 at end of the 1st half in a nationally televised game. The future seemed so bright but man was I wrong/naive. Never could have imagined the depths that the program could fall to. Enough is enough. Get serious…
