The man Minutemen faithful call "Gronkflower" looks primed for a great season in 2013.

One of the most consistent members of a young UMass team, Johnson proved his worth in 2012 and looks to build on that success this season.

In the last-ever weekend of CCHA regular season play, Miami clinched the title, Western Michigan lost a hold on second place, and Bowling Green fell out of contention to host a first-round playoff series. UMass sits in 9th in Hockey East.

UMass added 19 football players. Head coach Charley Molnar created a Twitter hashtag for each commit, which is more priceless than gold.

By a vote of 19-18, the UMass faculty senate rejected a motion to recommend an abrupt end to UMass football playing in the MAC and the Bowl Subdivision for financial reasons.

The University of Massachusetts faculty voiced their opinion on the large budget spent on their football team, which didn't draw many fans in 2012. While they have a point, it doesn't appear to change their MAC affiliation any time soon.

UMass is getting back on track, and giving their fans something to cheer about.

After nine games, are the Minutemen any closer to a win?

Mike and I sat down to discuss both sides of this potential issue. How much of a problem - if at all - is it to discover that a player was active on Twitter during halftime of your game?
