I love following the NFL. There is no better game than this. I really don't watch college football except to follow my UMass Minutemen and brother's Boston College Eagles. I don't watch the 27 bowl games.
I had the good fortune of attending the Colonial Classic today at Gillette Stadium with UMass playing the University of New Hampshire. Although we lost 39-13, it was enjoyable to watch a college game in such a great venue.
The announced attendance was 32,848. The place holds 68,000. At any given time a certain percentage of the crowd are not in their seats. I thought it might be under 30,000. That's a great turnout.
Coach Belichick would have done a meltdown with the horrible special teams play of UMass. The missed three field goals and gave up big yard on returns. They also had turnovers with interceptions and fumbles. There was no way they could have won this game.
I get a kick out of the "pagentry" aspect of college football. I can't imagine having the marching bands play during the game or the cheerleaders on the sidelines doing pyramids and back-flips.
Bill would never go for this.
