    I might have gotten the joke if you spelled the guy’s name right. 🤨

    If the athletic department is smart they invest the money and be quite stingy on NIL handouts early, then use the interest as their budget for NIL payouts. This way principal stays in tact(in your example the 16 million). Then as more donation money comes in principal goes up and more NIL money...

    Nope. I know who Tuell is. But who is Devave?

    I agree with you, it is a lazy take to blame recruiting. But some people don’t put much time into analysis. They would rather say the same shit they’ve been saying for the last 20 years. Because they were right for the last 20 years at the end of Whitehead’s tenure and all throughout Gendron’s...

    People have to realize that the bulk of recruiting was done by Soltys and Fournier. Now I happen to think recruiting isn’t the issue anyways because your better players are freshmen. Somehow people miss this and blindly say recruiting sucks. No, the upperclassmen aren’t performing and have less...

    Yep, Groovey is real fan and has seats in a box so he pays a premium/donates so no doubt he has some connections. He is a dedicated fan and we all like him. He should in NO WAY be confused with peckerhead Whistle which is likely a family member or friend of a former player that got benched then...

    I hope it is clear so you can see the Milky Way. Evidently if you go there at 3 AM you can see a meteor shower this week. Good timing.

    CHL to NCAA Recruiting Megathread

    You have to go to a luau. And hopefully they have those fire breathers. I am jealous. We have few inches of cold crusty snow on the ground here and it doesn’t appear to want to melt. Additional sun is going down at 4 pm. So far away both literally and figuratively from Hawaii right now. I’m...

    The only one I’ve seen hollering at his own teammates is Boija. I think he’s blaming others for letting goals in. Some are defensive breakdowns. But a lot are softies on him. He needs to just stop blaming his dmen and officials and keep composure and compact so as to avoid the loose flopping and...

    You are an asshat not a Blackbear fan and nobody can identify with someone taking potshots after Maine gets swept on home ice with your ignorant post after post of useless stupidity. I wouldn’t join you in anything you urge us to do. Now you go on and play in traffic.

    UMaine 25-26: Marques My Word: Back to the Big Time

    One issue I can see is that the incoming freshmen are more talented and outplaying the upperclassmen. So in their minds, why would they need to listen to them. I’m sure Freel is trying his best, but at the end of the day he is a guy that goes to the net and lives off setting screens, tips, and...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I was never in close proximity to Potty. Now, that’s no offense intended to Potty. My own Blackbears brethren would likely say that they’ve been snarled at for getting too close. Face it, the annual trip to TD Garden when at least 3 of 4 of BU, BC, UNH, and UMaine was the best years of the HE...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    This would be a UNH thing to do. Spoil chances of other teams in a hockey east down year by winning early, then granting Souza a lengthy contract as reward for his sweep at Alfond, then falter down the stretch to miss hosting hockey east quarterfinal, miss trip to TD Garden, and miss trip to...

    “If you follow recruiting”… you should go to the Maine recruiting thread and see if you think I follow recruiting. Kuzma left and went Big10, likely to play games where his family could watch him. He had a great year of juniors and got lured by Penn State, his parents live in the middle...

    No they didn’t. The Alfonds spent the money and they get to choose how it is spent. They want the Alfond name attached to the Maine hockey arena forever to honor Harold Alfond. That is how they honor the man that gave them the generational wealth. Why would they choose instead to spend on...

    When they interviewed Freel in between periods he seemed quite down. He seemed that way last night in the post game interview. I’m guessing the mood of the team can’t be great when your captain has that low energy. And an assistant captain got benched for making costly turnovers. Lipinski got...
