First up, UMass has the Fall 2008 roster posted.

The revised roster has good news in several places:

1. All the recruits listed in the Feb 6th letter-of-intent day press memo made it (minus the un-lamented Corey Eason).
2. Kevin Macon is back.
3. No academic or personal problems casualties from Spring Roster.

The UMass website has a set of images from the first day of practice. It has an image of Kyle Harrington's 440 pd lift. Awesome!

Josh Buchanan has another list of the top-25 "Small School NFL prospects", which includes Sean Smalls.

Rant-for-the-Day: ESPN's football announcing is ----- I can't think of an adjective bad enough. By the second half they more or less ignore the game and just prattle about nothing. Steve Baylark got into the Cardinals game last night, but by that time the ESPN announcers had stopped doing any play-by-play.
