About this episode
Not even a year ago, Rodger Sherman joined Alex for a deep dive into how the UMass Minutemen made a case as the worst team in modern history.Now, we have a much different episode about UMass: They’re our TEAM OF THE WEEK coming out of Week 1. This is a new subscriber series in which we talk about a team in college football attempting to do something that nobody else is trying to do. Rodger and Richard cover the Minutemen, fresh off their season-opening win over Rutgers. Let’s talk about this rising team from the MAC:
* 0:18: Why UMass earned TOTW honors
* 5:49: Pop Watson! The option! What a win in Piscataway
* 11:10: The very New Englandy character of the team
* 16:06: UMass’ investment in not being terrible
* 25:37: Are we crazy, or is a bowl a possibility?
Producer: Anthony Vito
