A little off topic, but still within the realms of Massachusetts sports: congratulations to the University of Massachusetts football team, who won the right to go to the NCAA Division National Championship next Friday in an upset, beating Montana 19 to 17 on a field goal last Friday. The championship takes place in Chattanooga, Tennessee against Appalachian State, broadcast on ESPN 2.For those of who you don’t pay too much attention to college football and are wondering how UMass could be going for a championship when you were pretty sure Ohio State was involved in some sort of BCS game, this article on Wikipedia about the difference between D1-A (Ohio State) and D1-AA (UMass) schools might help. I honestly had no idea there was an NCAA college football championship at one level and none on the next one up until five minutes ago. Go Mass!
