Saturday---July 23, 2011


Blog News: If you logged on to the UMass football blog from Comcast at 1:20AM this morning you were the blog's 1,000,000 page view.  The first month I started the blog back in 2005, most of the traffic came from me, obsessively checking to see if it was still there :)

As I mentioned yesterday, the CAA has their press guide available on their website. This pdf download has the 2011 Preseason All-CAA player list. Included are Julian Talley and Tyler Holmes as Defensive Player-of-the-Year.  The most notable omission for UMass is Jonathan Hernandez. I thought Josh Samuda and Nick Speller from the league's top offense were worthy also.

Matty V. has a story on Tyler Holmes being named Defensive Player-of-the-Year.

Delaware has only ten returning starters this year and it seems six of the the ten are All-CAA.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TSN/FatHead.com has a Preseason All-America list up. Tyler Holmes is one of 10 CAA players to make the list.

The CAA, which annually rates as near or at the top of FCS, is third in number of players on TSN's list.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CSN has a preview of the NEC Conference up. It seems as if every time we play a NEC team, they are the conference champions. 2011 continues the the trend as CSN picks the Blue Devils to win the league. BTW, the CCSU website is here.

The Draft Daddy Blog had this link looking at the high school recruiting ratings of the players chosen in the 2011 NFL draft.
