The UMass Minutemen may start their season a week earlier than most teams this year, but we’re still a long way away from college football season. However, the season seemed a little closer yesterday as UMass had its annual spring game.
It was a day filled with explosive plays and celebrity guest coaches, and also (thankfully) a day without serious injuries. As head coach Mark Whipple looked on, Chris Berman and new UMass basketball coach Matt McCall manned the sidelines. McCall coached the Maroon team and Berman said “You’re with me, white”. Whipple and Berman are old friends, going back to their college days together at Brown.
