Great Article about UMass by Bob Ryan

[EmeryZach]

I just read this great article by Bob Ryan in the Boston Globe about UMass. It's nice to see some appreciation from the big time media.
"The Eagles said a lot of nice things about UMass when it was over. Little did they know they had caught the Minutemen on an off day."

Another good one here.

Maybe so, but UMass's defense was very good, from what I saw of the game. If both teams played good games, it'd still have been very close.

And now the more I read/hear/talk about the game, the more pissed I am that we lost.

I know how you feel. We had been so close for years and every year we play a top 1A team I see a few plays that change the game. You guys will win a few in the future. Good luck next time.

Bob Ryan (who I believe is a BC grad) has always been complimentary to UMass sports. He wrote many positive columns 10-12 years ago when the basketball team was at the height of its power. He's refreshing when so many in the Boston sports media look upon UMass with utter disdain (for example Dan Shaughnessy, a Holy Cross guy ... aka the CHB).
