The UMass Minutemen’s very own Tyler Holmes won the National Defensive Player of the Year on the FCS level for his outstanding 2010 season. Holmes, a Junior from Virginia, made play after play all season long, including returning two interceptions for touchdowns against Maine. He was the first person to complete that feat in all of college football since 2008 (including the FBS).
With 110 tackles, UMass was hoping their All-American linebacker would win the award, and the College Football Performance Awards did not overlook him.
Despite a disappointing end of the season, the Minutemen can look forward to his return and a potential move to the Mid-American Conference this fall. This move could raise UMass’s national awareness and increase competition. However, games would need to be played at Gillette Stadium, leading to students and fans having to drive to Foxboro to see the games.
The hour and a half drive can be a long one, and liability increases because many people will carpool. With increased liability and the onset of tailgating, reviewing your MA insurance is a good idea. For the lengthy drive, your MA auto insurance policy will need to be up to date before the trip. Moreover, MA personal umbrella insurance can add additional liability coverage.
It is a wise decision to review your policy with your Encharter Insurance agent whenever you can. Even though football games are in the future, forgetting to look over your policy is going to be tough to do when there are games to be watched!
