Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 447857, member: 628"] The problem with playing in Amherst is that its Amherst. I grew up in eastern Mass and there was a saying that Bostonians believed that if they traveled past Route 128 they'd fall off the edge of the world. That now extends out a few more miles to I-495, but no one is driving 2 hours to see UMass play Bowling Green in Amherst. Hell, the split-second the UMass hoops team fell out of the top 10 years ago their on campus arena became half empty. UMass needs to immediately become a top 15 FBS team that is in the Big Ten and plays Ohio State at home every weekend for it to be remotely successful. And that's barely hyperbole. [/QUOTE]
