No Nawnsense predictions for the 2016 New England Patriots
There is no question about it, the New England Patriots will be a different team without star quarterback Tom Brady through the first four weeks of the season. Plus, Sunday night’s opening matchup versus the swarming defensive-minded Arizona Cardinals could be the toughest in the Bill Belichick era. Deflategate has been a story of its own the last few years even after the Patriots won Super Bowl XLIX two years ago. Consequently, commissioner Roger Goodell won the long exhausted battle that Brady did not want to fight anymore. As a result, third year quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo gets thrown into the mix. He will make his first NFL start on Sunday night. The moment could not be any brighter for the Eastern Illinois product to showcase his abilities in front of the world on primetime television. Just do not be optimistic in this one Patriots fans. “Jimmy G” is many seasons away from being in the same context as Tom Brady, so pump the breaks because I don’t find 4-0 realistic. 3-1 is possible, but not probable.
‘Cats roll past Minutemen

If you have spirit, we want to hear it: How to cheer like a Wildcat
One of the biggest claims to fame for UNH is the tradition displayed inside and outside of the classroom. On Saturdays especially, the campus turns into the typical college town with hometown banners and school colors being worn proudly. In the cold nights of the winter, the hottest place in town is the Whittemore Center, where the Wildcats take the ice. Tradition runs deep in all facets of Wildcat country and that includes the student section. Most colleges and universities have their own student and cheering sections, but few rival the ‘Cat Pack. The football student section has proven to be one of the most hostile places to play at in the entire FCS conference. The loyal ‘Cat Pack at hockey games have turned any road trip to the Whit a tough and loud environment for all opponents to play in. But what do the student sections do that makes the games so fun for the students and so hostile for the visiting players?
