2024 UMass Minutemen Football Preseason Preview: Defense
Throughout UMass’ FBS tenure, weak defenses have crippled the Minutemen. Since moving to the FBS, the Minutemen have yet to produce a defense that has allowed less than 30 points per game. Last season was no different. The Minutemen allowed a staggering 37 points per game. The run defense was the most glaring weakness, allowing over 221 yards per game. Lowlights for the run defense include two 300-yard games on the ground against Toledo and Liberty. Thankfully, help is on the way.

Photo of the Week: “With Love” Community Celebration
I have always wanted to put something together for the community to just be joyful on purpose. My grandfather, Raymond Eliott Sr. was known for creating spaces in town for people to celebrate their differences. One event that he did every year (that I now host) along with his dear friend Ash Hartwell and members of the community, is Race Amity Day which is also celebrated nationally. When I finally had the time to plan this event, I immediately reached out to my friend Jake Krauth aka Deejay Theory, to see if he would be on board and he was also very excited to put something together that would celebrate the community. Next, I reached out to 80 Acres to see if we could make this a fundraiser for their free store and they gladly agreed! The event included vendors such as Positively Africana, Resonance Hot Yoga Massage, Just Body Glow, Tem Blessed + “Planeta Blu”, Amherst Media, Cambodians of Amherst exhibit info table, Kathleen Anderson Designs and art by Nayana Lafond. There were kids activities and a raffle with prizes from local vendors. Tem Blessed did a short set that also stuck with the theme of love and positivity. People were talking, connecting and enjoying the “With Love!” atmosphere that we created. We look forward to having more “With Love!” events in the future that will focus on bringing the community together and supporting local non-profits.”

Red Sox catcher to make history by playing for two teams in one game
When the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays resume their suspended game on Monday, catcher Danny Jansen is going to make the type of history that seems almost impossible to make.Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced on Friday that Jansen is going to be behind the plate as the team's catcher in place of Reese McGuire. This is notable because when the game was originally started and suspended, Jansen was batting in the game... as a member of the Blue Jays. This means that on Monday Jansen will become the first player in Major League history to ever play for two different teams in the same official game.Jansen was traded from the Blue Jays to the Red Sox just before the MLB trade deadline at the end of July. The game, which was originally being played in June, was suspended in the top of the second inning and will be completed on Monday. Jansen has appeared in 13 games with the Red Sox since the trade, hitting .366 with a .794 OPS.Now he will have the chance to try and get them a win in a game where he started off trying to beat them.
