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

    Pichette with a greasy rebound goal. Great start.

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

    Whoever the new center ice cameraman is needs to go back to school. This is unwatchably atrocious. Zero idea what the puck is, jerking all over the place, I'm getting sea sick.

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    For some reason they ran a 2:00 clock after the OT, not sure that's normal before a shootout, but they started the shootout with the clock running and some in-arena music playing.

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

    Hampden is technically a co-op with Nokomis, but I'm not sure how many Nokomis kids play. John Bapst is formally "John Bapst/Hermon/Bangor Christian/Deer Isle-Stonington."

    Maine Recruits: When Ashes Fall, Legends Rise

    I'm excited for Maine to have a slightly undersized ball of energy flying around the ice and finishing checks. Someone you watch and say "I'm glad he's on our team, he plays like a real asshole." Give us memories of Martin Mercier popping Keith Tkachuk in the jaw despite giving up 6 inches and...

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

    Boys hockey last year, teams that went it alone: Thornton Academy, Lewiston, Bangor (plus one kid from Narraguagus), Edward Little, Scarborough, Falmouth, Kents Hill, St. Dom's, Camden Hills, Presque Isle, Gorham, Greely, York, Cape Elizabeth St. Dom's is done. Haven't heard of any other new...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    Last season they hosted home games against Denver (2) and Quinnipiac (2). My issue isn't with playing Colgate, Lindenwood, and Holy Cross. BC plays RPI, BU has LIU and Colgate, UMass has Stonehill, Bentley and Army. Playing creampuffs is fine. My issue is that those schools all figure out...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    This line of thinking suggests that the UMaine athletic department has zero agency in scheduling hockey games. Like the vagaries of scheduling occur TO UMaine, as opposed to UMaine actually planning ahead and scheduling in a sensible manner so they get a decent home non-conference series. Just...

    "Hey everyone, thanks for re-engaging with our program and coming back to fill our arena after we completely mismanaged our premier program for over a decade. It's great so many of you bought season tickets and paid the new fee to be on our waitlist. Anyways, here's our nonconference home...

    Could just increase scholarships in an existing women's sport. I doubt Maine is near capacity in W swim/dive or W track.

    I'm team "keep demand high." Maine just went through a decade or more of not being able to give away tickets. You want it to be a tough ticket because then people actually use them. If you know you can walk up and get a ticket any time, why buy in advance or get season tickets? And if you...

    Any chance there is a Big Ten team coming in or is the big name home non-conference opponent going to be Holy Cross?

    Who's next for a move up to D1?

    Since 1992 there have been five, and only five, men's athletic team sports added by schools that were in FBS or its equivalent. Three required a massive eight-figure donation: Penn State hockey, Arizona State hockey, and Utah lacrosse. One required dropping another men's sport: Oregon added...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    Looking at the schedules thread, we're kind of running out of possible opponents for a big home non-conference series. Big Ten or bust at this point I guess.

    And that's what Maine is likely doing, too. No one knows what House is going to look like after all of these downstream legal challenges; the NCAA is trying to get some sort of Congressional exemption to labor laws and a salary cap; does Title IX even exist as a thing anymore is an open...

    Whether NIL contracts need to be reviewed or not, they are allowed to exist. There are still going to be huge NIL deals. I'm not sure how Maine is starting $15,000 in the hole if they are recruiting a player that they want. If they are offering him a full scholarship, great, he gets a...

    University of Maine 2024–2025: Freel-ing good

    You've missed the point. There are two buckets of money. BUCKET ONE: Revenue sharing. This money is what it sounds like, a sliver of the overall money earned by the athletic department in media payments, ticket sales, concessions, etc. This is reserved for schools that opt-in and is capped...

    I don't think that's necessarily the correlation. People seem to assume that "Opting In" teams all have $20.5 million and it will be paid to athletes in all sports. I think that the former is likely untrue and the latter is definitely untrue. The University of Texas absolutely will max out...
