Five Days until Kansas State 08/31/09

Bump. Just for fun, I'm giving away a "UMass Football Blog" ball cap to the person who e-mails me the closest guess to the score of the UMass-Kansas State game. My e-mail is available in the "About me" section of the blog. It's free and I'll pay the shipping. I'll erase everyone's e-mail after the contest. Time is getting short!

WWLP has another story on Kyle Havens being named starting QB. They have a video interview link as well.

Matty Vautour adds another article this morning .

UPDATE:

As mentioned in the comments, the Worcester Telegram reports Anthony Monette will start at defensive end. Good for Anthony; he's put in his time and it's great when a senior gets to start.

UPDATE II: The UMass website has a transcript of Coach Morris's weekly CAA teleconference call.

UPDATE III: Matty Vautour reports that UMass has released a depth chart for Kansas State. He has an annotated version up. A couple of surprises.

UPDATE IV: Stuff is happening fast and furious. UMass game notes for Kansas State (html). Game notes (pdf).

UPDATE V: Kansas State's game notes for UMass (pdf).

James Ihedigbo gets praise from the NY Star Ledger.

Coach Brown gets more praise in his re-working the Terps defense.

A Manhattan sports columnist thinks the Cats will win seven games this year.

Another says that Kansas State will feature the pass more in 2009.

The Wildcats will have a lot of unknowns this year. With a new HC, new offensive and defensive coordinators, a totally new linebacker corps and two new DB's, UMass has the same feeling.

We're not the only FCS/I-AA team playing a Big-12 opponent this week. NDSU plays Iowa State this Thursday.

Every sports blogger on the planet has a link about problems with Michigan's practice policies. Since we play the Wolverines next year, I'll add it too.
