Presumably, it's the Amherst campus that we're playing tomorrow. Looks like it's located 90 miles west of Boston (so it's not exactly a home game), and is the "flagship" university in the state ... not sure what that means, but we seem to have two of them in Mississippi. ;)

They have a total of almost 30,000 students so they're almost 50% larger than we are. And they're also in a rural setting. So we have at least one thing in common. And they have agriculture ... the students have an organic garden they develop and work in. :) They also have engineering. Total cost to attend is about $25K in state, but considerably more out of state. Not sure how that compares to MSU nowadays ... it was really cheap when I was there.

Might be a fun game tomorrow.
