UMass News - Lights, transfer, verbal, Whipple

[Old Cage]

Looks like our long awaited lights are coming for 2008. The two games we played with temp lights drew excellent crowds. Here's two places to read what's up:

You might have to register for the second link, but it is easy and free. This is the best place to keep up with UMass sports on a daily basis. Of course, you all want to do that. xrolleyesx

Old Cage, what would you out the percentages at for the 10/4 UD at UMass game being at night??

[Old Cage]

That would be outstanding. I think the odds are good.

We have a very strange schedule - first game at home then three straight on the road then an off week before you guys. It will be 35 days between home games.

I would think that we would want to do the night games before the weather gets too bad. When we experimented with the temp lights, one of the "night" games was at five or six. I have no insight as to what is planned. Maybe we find out at our football banquet in late February.

was Roberson enrolled at UMASS?

Yes. Saw lots of PT as a true freshman.

Slow steps forward with the lights...it took longer than lots of people hoped for...

But great news that it's finally going to be a reality...

And once again, Kudos to UMass74 for keeping us up-to-date...and thanks Old Cage.....
