Sunday--August 25, 2013

Good Morning from Jaffrey! Mrs Blog and are home safe after 31 hours of travel time from the cruise ship to New Hampshire. All is well and we had no major hassles.

We did a lot better than the passengers from this ship. Mrs Blog and I spoke with a guy from Australia who would be getting a refund, but no refund on his airline costs. The offer of a free cruise won't help him much as he will pay another round of air fares to take advantage of it.

Internet time from the Radiance of the Seas was 75 cents a minute! And it didn't like the Blogger interface. It cost me about $15 to write the header of the last post.

I missed the Blog, UMass news and you guys.

The 2013 Fall roster is up!!! Check out all the new players and number changes.

One interesting number right off the bat: #5, the number assigned to the featured UMass running back in the FCS era, is held by Peter Argeh, a FR DL.

I'll have a lot more to say about the roster as I bring the Blog back up to speed this week.

UMass Sports Luncheons are back. Excellent food and a chance to hear Coach Molnar discuss UMass football on a weekly basis.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of UMass videos are up. The interview from UMass Media Day, which I missed this year.

Coach Molnar said Jordan Broadnax is out of the Wisconsin game. Rob Blanchflower is iffy.

Trey Dudley-Giles will be our punt returner.

With Broadnax out, Stacey Bedell is the #1 RB and Lorenzo Woodley is #2.
