Historically, Republicans have no idea what rock music actually means. See GOP candidates using Springsteen's "Born in the USA."
Sad to hear of the passing of former UMass hoop player Mike Williams. He made the big shot in the 1994 UMass win over Temple that preceeded the Mullins Center dustup between Calipari and Chaney. Might have been the best game I ever saw in the Bill. RIP.
Befofre I take a deep dive into writing, kudos to the City of Pittsfield for getting Wahconah Park ready for the state baseball championship. Huge kudos to the more than 5,000 fans who crammed their way into the park and made it one of the most electric venues I've been in.
Will Owens strikes out. That's it. As the TV guy said, Pittsfield makes a statement. Your final score. Pittsfield American 10, Coventry RI 1. Pittsfield will now get 2 days off and will play Saturday at 1 on ESPN.
Wahcona Park, in Pittsfield, Ma, built in 1919, is one of the final remaining ballparks in the United States with a wooden grandstand. 201 Pittsfield players made it to the big leagues including Carlton Fisk, Bill Madlock, Greg Maddux, Mark Grace,Joe Girardi. Photos: Simon Cliche
According to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander, who had it first, BC-California won't be played. Eagles are looking to hook up with Maine on Dec. 22. Not ready to schedule the Fighting Matt McCalls yet.
Hey
@UMassADBamford
assuming this score holds up, schedule multiple parades. Amherst/Northampton, Springfield and Pittsfield. Players, coaches, the trophy, on trucks.
Disappointed to get an email from UMass media relations that there will be no football media opportunities for the upcoming week. This is wrong on so many levels. If you are trying to rebuild a program, you should be as open as possible.
James Hemmer intercepts a pass for his New Trier (Ill.) HS teammate Carson Ochsenhirt to lock up Williams' 24-19 win over Amherst. Ephs finish a perfect 9-0, win the Little Three and NESCAC titles.

standout Tom Burris hit a 3-pointer with 1:31 left in overtime, putting UMass ahead for keeps. It was Burris' first hoop of his college career. Congrats.
Wishing all of you a happy Thanksgiving. It is written elsewhere that this site is a hellscape. My sports folks give me reasons to smile everyday. I am most thankful for you all.

You are younger than I am. I almost went to Kent State the year after those kids were killed. I lived through the Vietnam protests. Bad as it was then, I never felt like my country was in ruins. This was the first time.
Alex White won the Steel Rail half marathon and the marathon. The Alex White on the left is from Williamstown and won the marathon. The Alex White on the right is from Dalton and won the half marathon.
Congrats to Peyton Steinman and Grace Guachione. They and their Saint Anselm teammates are in their first ever NCAA D-II Elite Eight. Steinman had 19 points, Guachione 6 in a 63-61 win over LeMoyne on Monday. Steinman was 12-12 from the foul line.

Of true importance, didn't the NFL change a blocking rule because of

? If the NFL changes a rule specifically because of one person, and that person was a great receiver, shouldn't that be Hall worthy?

Biden has now won in Michigan so many times, his name is Urban Meyer. Win Georgia often enough to change his name to Nick Saban. Won in Pennsylvania enough to change his name to Jay Wright. And Happy Army-Navy Day.
