Things have changed in a hurry for the best turnaround story in college football. After its loud 4-0 start, UMass dropped its third straight game, falling 25-18 to Buffalo in overtime.

HC Joe Harasymiak: “Our whole program just has to nut up.”

The run was fun while it lasted! UMass football’s perfect start came to a halt against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

What went wrong in the 38-14 loss? A lot.

Last year, I wrote a story claiming UMass football had the tools to make a bowl game. Boy, did that look silly after losing the ensuing 12 games.

After defeating Sacramento State 35-6 Saturday, I’m here to make the same declaration, for real this time.

MLS announces an opening weekend TV viewership number of 9.7 million live match viewers across all platforms, a 59% increase from 2025’s initial weekend.

This comes after the decision to disband MLS Season Pass & make all MLS games available with a normal Apple TV+ subscription.

2026 MLS Preseason Power Rankings:

We all know how meaningful preseason power rankings are, so this turned into a season preview/rankings hybrid.

In protest of MLS’ AI rubbish, here’s 11,000+ human-written words before the season kicks off on Saturday:

Archbishop Williams defeated No. 18 Cathedral in an overtime thriller.

Luke Deftos drilled a game-tying 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds remaining to force overtime. The Bishops then survived in OT to notch the ranked road win.

Making my non-sports section debut for the Collegian! Certainly not under the most lavish circumstances, but that’s the point. It’s important to share these stories of such an important event.

My personal perspective of the Olympia fire and aftermath:

UMass football signed 21 players on Dec. 3’s National Signing Day. The Minutemen acquired an FBS program-record 15 three-star recruits in the 2026 class.

UMass grabbed notable talent at WR, a pair of RBs, a QB and various DBs.
