UMass Does the Impossible
Congratulations to UMass who, by beating the Grizzlies of Montana in their home stadium, have reached the NCAA Division 1 football final. Montana is a notoriously bad place for visiting teams because they always have a big crowd, their teams are usually very good, and it is freezing cold. In fact, last night was the first time Montana has lost a semifinal game at home, ever. A victory there is quite a feat.
If you don't follow I-AA football, oops, Division 1 football, it is a lot of fun. They play good football and the big programs have great fan bases. Here in Louisiana, we have several good programs around and I enjoy following them. Plus, I had a relative coach Stephen F. Austin for several years. They also decide things on the field, not with computers and beauty contests. Here's a great website on Division 1 football if you're interested.
If you live in Chattanooga, go see the championship game next weekend. I promise a good time. You might even see something ridiculous, like this run from Georgia Southern's Adrian Peterson in the 1999 championship game.
