I thought Army/BC series had more games. Army won the first nine games from 1917-1959. I'm trying to figure out why the series froze after the 1919 game and didn't return until 1959. BC leads Army 25-13 in the series. They have not played since 2013. I'll go with Castellanos and the Eagles winning 22-20 at Army.
Oct 8, 2023
T. Castellanos QB - BC 31CAR 142YDS 4TD saved the day BC 24 Army 21
UConn beat Rice(AAC) despite the younger McCaffrey having 100yards receiving and 2 TDs .
Notre Dame lost to Louisville (ACC), and UMass got whacked by Toledo(MAC).
Oct 14, 2023
Troy is a tough SunBelt team and will escape with a narrow road victory of Army.
USC may lack a defense, but Notre Dame can't outscore the Trojans.
The Minutemen of UMass will be down by 24 at Penn St in the first 15 minutes.
Oct 15, 2023
Troy shutout Army 19-0, and UMass got blanked 63-0 by Penn St.
Wow was I wrong on Notre Dame who rolled USC 48-20. I guess all the Caleb Williams QB hype can slow down. His stats: 199YDS 1TD 3INT.
Oct 21, 2023
UConn /USF will be close, and it would be a tie in the old days. USF has regressed since hanging tough with Bama in a loss.
Army visits LSU and hopes it's not a 60-10 loss.
In hoops Chicago St, the last 1A independent, opens at Bowling Green on Nov 6.
USF survived 24-21, and I got darn close on that Army score. LSU 62 Army 0.
Oct 27, 2023
New England flavor in Independents. UMass is the right tonic for Army coming off the blowout loss to LSU. Army 21. UMass 16
Mora JR's Huskies are going in reverse after showing some promise last season. BC 27 UConn 20
Notre Dame should handle Pittsburg but won't cover the line of 20.5. ND 31 Pitt 20
Oct 29, 2023
Two out of three ain't bad. Wrong on Army and its anemic O.
UConn stayed in the game but lost to BC. Neither team looked good.
Notre Dame crushed Pitt 58-7.
Nov 3, 2023
Notre Dame by 6 over Clemson. Does Dabo have any tricks left?
UConn won't stay with Tennessee past the first quarter.
Army /AirForce. Army gets strafed by the Boys in the sky.
UMass plays Merrimack and should win over a lower division opponent. I'm looking for Jack Kerouac's(RIP) hunch. He mentioned the mighty Merrimack River in his early notes and novels about Lowell.
Nov 5, 2023
Dabo has some tricks left: Clemson 31 ND 23. I changed my mind just before kickoff and took Clemson in a Yahoo pickem but was wrong in this blog.
My other incorrect pick was AFA. Army brought them back to earth Army 23- AFA-3
Tenn 49 UConn 3
UMass 31Merrimack 21
Nov 7, 2023

Nov 16, 2023
Who knows what to make of an Army team that lost to UMass but beat Air Force? Coastal Carolina(SBC) 24 Army 17.
UMass can't handle Liberty O. Liberty(CUSA) 34 UMass 13
Notre Dame 38 Wake Forest(ACC) 27
UConn 30 Sacred Heart 10.

Nov 19, 2023
Wow, Army beat CCU 28-21. Incorrect on that, right on the rest.
Nov 24, 2023
Minutemen up 38-36-2 in the series with UConn. I thought Mora Jr would have made more progress at UConn. UMass 31 UConn 30
Fighting Irish remember being upset last year by Stanford. ND 35 Stanford 23. Perhaps NND listens to Rockne audio during pre-game. Rockne started a plan of ending every season with a game in CA to aid West Coast recruiting efforts.
Nov 26, 2023
ND crushed Stanford yesterday. UConn beat UMass: C. Edwards
RB - CONN 19 CAR 102YDS 2TD
A. Simpson WR - MASS 6REC 107YDS

Since Army upset Air Force they've been on a roll. I'm taking them to beat Navy 20-19 today at Gillette Stadium and win the Commander-in-Chief Trophy. Tysun Riley rushed for 112 yards in the win over CCU. Look for more of the same from him today. If Navy, who lost to AFA earlier this season, wins then it's a three-way tie.
Navy leads the all-time series 62-54-7
Dec 10 2023
Army 17 Navy 11. Army LB Kalib Fortner scored on a fourth-quarter strip sack and then helped keep Navy QB Tai Lavatai out of the end zone with 3 seconds left.
Belichick spoke to the Midshipmen on Friday night and pulled on a Roger Staubach-era Navy helmet for a TV pregame show to predict the winner.
Dec 12, 2023
Chicago St. hoops beat Stetson and lost to St Thomas. Now a win over Northwestern tonight would be wild.

Well, Chicago St upset NW(Big10) on Dec 12, then beat UTRGV(WAC) and Bethune (MEAC), but Wisky was too much for them last night. WIS (Big10) 80 CHIC St 53. Badgers held Wesley Cardet Jr to 10 points.
Jan 1, 2024

Feb 26, 2024
MAC board voted to add UMass as an all-sports member beginning in 2025-26, Well, I've been saying it for about 7 years in various blogs.
UMass was in the MAC as a football-only member from 2012-15. They remained in the A10 for other sports.
UMass Ice hockey plays in the Hockey East Association, separate from any A-10 to MAC move.

I thought the CIT had faded into oblivion after Marshall won it in 2019 Sorry gang, but it's the CBI occurring. Chicago St got invited to the CBI and faces UC -San Diego (Big West) today. Will Cardet leads the Cougars with 18.1 PPG
Wednesday, December 13, 2023
