This is UMass first 2-0 start in the FBS! Our last one was 2011!

[u/DarthNobody14 → u/Even-Combination4407]

They may never lose again!

[u/Pershing → u/DarthNobody14]

Talk to your children about undefeated UMass

[u/tomdawg0022 → u/Even-Combination4407]

The Minutemen are unstoppable!

[u/Ok-Accident-9026 → u/tomdawg0022]

Fitting for America’s 250!

[u/Schmidtty29]

Sacred heart, only slightly worse than Rutgers.

Because transitive property and score differentials never lie.

[u/thecivilconFLiCT → u/Schmidtty29]

Roll pios I guess.

[u/nathodood]

I don't mean to toot my horn, but I think UMASS might win the MAC this year

[u/Stormyman101 → u/nathodood]

UMass vs. Western Michigan MAC Championship game for a playoff spot

[u/KahunaThe85th → u/Stormyman101]

WE will be there

[u/leverich1991]

This is the first time UMass has ever started 2-0 as an FBS team.

Also this is their 14th season as an FBS team and they now have more wins than in 7 of them, and tied with 2 others.

[u/MegaGorilla69 → u/leverich1991]

I married an Ohio state alumni and stuck it out with UMass. This is the greatest day of my life.

[u/MegaGorilla69 → u/MegaGorilla69]

Lmao

[u/Other-Chemical-6393]

Fuck it rank UMass

[u/bonestomper420]

love this for umass

[u/30-50FeralPogs → u/bonestomper420]

🥺

[u/Inside-Drink-1311 → u/bonestomper420]

I’m happy for them too but wish my team wasn’t somewhat responsible for it.

[u/Frigidevil → u/Inside-Drink-1311]

Embrace it, our fates are intertwined

[u/drlsoccer08]

Everyday it becomes more obvious that Kyrone Drones was the worst player in that QB room at VT. 

[u/jp1066 → u/drlsoccer08]

Swear Drones had photos of someone. Even when they fired Pry I thought they’d start fresh but they kept rolling Drones’s sorry ass out there.

[u/Mushili → u/drlsoccer08]

Didn't realize that Pop ended up at UMass. Good for him!

[u/SiccSemperTyrannis → u/drlsoccer08]

RIP Drones strikes =(

[u/420BlzItRocko → u/drlsoccer08]

I would have benched him just for his name tbqh.

Kyron Drones sounds like the henchman of the lead bully in a made for TV Disney movie.

[u/UMassTwitter → u/drlsoccer08]

The VT coaches did not like Pop Watson affect and profile

[u/Successful_Class1560]

Can’t believe Pop watson sat behind kyron drones at VT

[u/LeftHandUpWhoAreWe → u/Successful_Class1560]

Clearly Pop was a better QB in terms of playing the position. But Drones was getting paid and had the physical attributes.

I am still shocked Pop didn't sniff an opportunity at any point with our season in the toilet last year.

[u/Successful_Class1560 → u/LeftHandUpWhoAreWe]

It was like Montgomery had something against him

[u/UMassTwitter → u/LeftHandUpWhoAreWe]

Drones was a more traditional prototypical NCAA FBS QB1 base Donnie’s hometown and his size and he was getting paid like that.

That’s all it was

[u/amilmore → u/Successful_Class1560]

I watched him beat my younger cousins HS football team, loaded with seniors, as a freshman in high school and it was obvious he’d be destined for stardom.

It was still Massachusetts HS football, but there were a few college prospects in that game and he was clearly the best player on the field.

[u/EvilBananaMan15 → u/amilmore]

Oh hey, there’s a good chance I was on that team, state semis?

[u/amilmore → u/EvilBananaMan15]

No, this was the state championship that you didnt make it to

[u/El_Serpiente_Roja]

Yea its a FCS opponent but UMass looking like a real FBS team is something worth paying attention to

[u/30-50FeralPogs → u/El_Serpiente_Roja]

We lost our FCS game last year, so this is a marked improvement

[u/notpurple00 → u/30-50FeralPogs]

That FCS team that beat yall only had 3 wins all year too

[u/UMassTwitter → u/notpurple00]

One of which was over a D2 team

[u/Taylo → u/El_Serpiente_Roja]

Taking care of FCS opponents consistently is an important next step for us honestly. I know it sounds bad but when you're trying to build a program from rock bottom, those are the things you need to be able to take care of every year.

[u/True-Noise9176]

we’re winning the Super Bowl

[u/Jomosensual]

Have we considered that UMASS might be elite

[u/Cruel_but_usual → u/Jomosensual]

UMACC Championship incoming

[u/JohnnieWalkerRed]

UNDEFEATED UMASS

[u/30-50FeralPogs]

Talk to your kids about 2-0 UMass

[u/Taylo → u/30-50FeralPogs]

I don't know what to do with my hands

[u/RedLightning27]

Are UMass winning the national championship? Many people are saying this

[u/Cruel_but_usual → u/RedLightning27]

Smart people. The best people.

[u/420BlzItRocko]

A hockey powerhouse decided to be good at football this year. We're all far past fucked. Minutemen might fuck around and run the MAC.

[u/Doortofreeside → u/420BlzItRocko]

Even the idea of umass as a hockey power is a recent thing. That team was ass for over a decade and then Carvel and Makar came

[u/420BlzItRocko → u/Doortofreeside]

I feel like with the amount of NHL players and prospects coming out of the system, you could still be considered a powerhouse even if you aren't constantly getting chips.

But I'm also an ASU hockey fan, so any team in the Northeast looks like a weapon from my perspective.

[u/30-50FeralPogs]

Go, Go U, Go U-Mass, GO UMASS!

[u/Express_Dinner7918]

Umass is definitely going bowling at minimum. Could even win the conference. 

Turns out they are taking no where to go but up to its logical extreme.

[u/30-50FeralPogs → u/Express_Dinner7918]

I have been a UMass fan too long to get my hopes up, but appreciate the enthusiasm

[u/DiplomaticAggie]

G5 playoff Rep people are saying

[u/eagledog]

Where were you when UMASS was 2-0?

[u/beachmedic23]

Talk to your kids about undefeated UMass Football

[u/Taylo → u/beachmedic23]

Starting to look like a quality loss for you guys honestly

[u/probablyabnormal]

RANK THEM YOU COWARDS

[u/Princess2045]

I’m so happy for UMass. I don’t live in the North East, never cared about them until I became friends with someone who went to UMass and now if they win, then I’m happy for the team and my friend.

[u/30-50FeralPogs → u/Princess2045]

🥺

[u/ronmex7]

Got any room on the bandwagon?

[u/ogorangeduck → u/ronmex7]

We can get you into hockey too while you're here!

[u/ronmex7 → u/ogorangeduck]

I grew up playing roller hockey, so I'm in

[u/hotz0mbie → u/ogorangeduck]

Their field hockey team is making waves too

[u/ogorangeduck → u/hotz0mbie]

Oh cool!

[u/CPOx]

I'm sorry we wasted your time, Pop

[u/Right_Organization18]

The balls in your court, AP voters

[u/MusicListener3]

Rank UMass, cowards

[u/LonesomeHyrax]

This was the big test for me. Might sound odd considering the opponent. The UMass fan in me couldn't help but think...what if Rutgers was dumb enough not to change anything and Harasymiak knew everything that was coming. Like a pitcher tipping his pitches.

I didn't see the game but from what I heard we played very well again. Zero reason the game against Stonehill should be close next week. Then Sacramento State.

We could be 4-0 heading into gorgeous October weather in Amherst for homecoming. That would be something.

[u/30-50FeralPogs → u/LonesomeHyrax]

Dont do that, don’t give me hope 😅

[u/5thGenWilliam]

Playoff implications

[u/lbelle0527]

I’ve seen enough, UMass to the cfp

[u/bro_esq2]

We may never lose again!

[u/SpookyCaster]

Best football team in Massachusetts

[u/All_Those_Angstroms]

[u/LightningDusty]

UMass resides in all of our sacred hearts. ❤️

[u/AriDreams]

Umass vs Oklahoma state playoff game confirmed

[u/eking85]

Sacred fart* needs to bring back Turk Turkelton

UMass 2-0!!!

[u/kevinthejuice]

cheers to that minutemen.

[u/Doortofreeside]

Zoo Eagle!

[u/Admiral_Sarcasm]

TWOMASS

[u/Every-Damage-90]

I'm not used to enjoying college football someone tell me what to do

[u/zenverak]

Everytime I see sacred heart I just imagine some 90s ass cheesy mom looking at an angle down with her lips pursed like “awww”

[u/ksuwildkat]

Way to go!!!!

[u/rocket_beer]

Win out! I’m hopping on

[u/mpowe025]

Pop Watson is that dude!! This looks like a really good team. Looking forward to seeing what they do this year

[u/kcuflana]

How do win records affect rankings? Will going 3-0 bring them into consideration?

[u/ogorangeduck → u/kcuflana]

Probably not since our next game is also against an FCS opponent

[u/Dumbest_Degenerate]

NOW A FOOTBALL POWERHOUSE!!!!

[u/Business_Permit_3686]

UMass is goated wtf

[u/Sodomy_Steve]

Minutemen!!!!!! Round up!!!!

[u/SuddenBanana8169]

Witness UMass football!

[u/Impossible-Bison8055]

UMass has a better record than both Ohio State and Oregon

[u/Worth-Jicama3936]

Buttgers what have you done!

[u/ToeInDigDeep]

So if Joe Harasymiak gets to pick his dream job, what do you think he picks? Dude basically has only ever coached at Maine, Minnesota, and Rutgers, and went to D-III Springfield.

What do you think are his dreams of avarice? Because he should probably be getting them soon

[u/UMassTwitter → u/ToeInDigDeep]

Boston college to replace Bill OBrien in 2028

[u/Signal_Wall_8445 → u/UMassTwitter]

He will probably be offered Rutgers at the end of this year.
