UMass Football: Fighting To Be Bad

((ht: deadspin.com))

Hmmmm....this may explain a few things.

A video, posted by the Daily Hampshire Gazette, has raised more than a few eyebrows in and around the University of Massachusetts campus.

The "Hype" video in question, show various shots of UMass football players wrestling, punching and appearing to square off and fight each other.



No, Brad Pitt nor Edward Norton were anywhere to be found.

The video, shot during the teams winter 2012 workouts, appears to have been produced by the schools video staff per instructions by coach Charley Molnar.

And according to the Gazette, a group of former players is very upset and petitioning to stop the "Improper Treatment of Current Players".

Of course, none of this justifies the Minutemen being one of the FBS level patsies for the past couple of seasons. They finished near the bottom of our "Bottom of the Barrel" poll last season.

And in 2013, the suckiness has continued as the team is 0-4 and averaging 7 points a game. And Molnar is still the coach.

And despite Molnar's defense of his method's in the article, perhaps, considering how bad they've been, things might need to change. Though we'd be surprised to see that actually happen.

Watch the video yourself and see if this is the right way to learn how to play football:
