RU -3.5 vs UMass

Not sure I'd touch that spread with a 10 foot pole. I'll be happy just to get a W whether it's by 1 goal or 12 goals.

That is uncomfortably close.....but I get it....and also wouldn't touch it.

In football the home team gets 3 points on the spread. I wonder if that happens in lax. Amherst should definately get them 1 or 2. It won't be easy for sure.

We are on spring break. This is typically when we see the squad take that next step. Kids are basically pro athletes for a week. It's great bonding and chemistry building time.

We have far more talent. I think they are focused and ready for what is coming. Starts Sat. I would never bet a Rutgers game but I sort of like it. The weather doesn't look awesome and they have a good goalie. Those things can be mitigaters.

Army was a wake up call. I think they learned from that experience. I'm very interested to see how we clear the ball. We need to fix that. In the last half of the last game it was much better. We finally saw middies making plays at the midfield. It can't always be passing sideline to sidleline waiting for an opening.

Players make plays. That happens no more than in the middle of the field.

Nothing comes as a surprise at RU. They can beat #1 and lose to #30.

When is the last time we lost to number 30?

RU is winning this weekend. This team knows they need to win. It’s a veteran team and they understand the schedule and what has to happen. They were allowed one bad day in the OOC…they used it at Army. This team and program get it

They win Sat

Forecast for Amherst, MA is sunny with high of 48. So at least the elements won’t be a factor.

But that also means the hill will likely be packed, so it also means a home field advantage.

The players will be hearing things about their mothers and girlfriends that they didn’t know….

And all from 15-20 feet away.

Isn't there like 2 feet of snow on the ground up in MA? Maybe the hill won't be open...
