    UMaine '26-'27: The Bridge On the River Stillwater

    If you think "Red wasn't an amazing coach" is a nuts sentence you must be way higher on him than I was ;)

    UMaine '26-'27: The Bridge On the River Stillwater

    Red wasn't an amazing coach by any means, but he had a team in the tournament with the hottest goalie in the country (also the Richter winner) before Covid hit. Football has made the playoffs 6 times since 1990, 16%. 5 playoff wins in 49 years of 1-AA football. Averaging 1 playoff win a decade...

    UMaine '26-'27: The Bridge On the River Stillwater

    Add back men's soccer and add men's and women's lacrosse. CAA isn't even a competitive 1-AA league anymore with JMU and Delaware going up to true D1 and all the other teams that bailed to the Patriot League.

    UMaine '26-'27: The Bridge On the River Stillwater

    21-22 had one 20 point scorer, 07-08 had two, 15-16 had three. It clearly won't be the worst offensive year since the 80's that's a troll take. I think some combination of Fowler/Scott/Scholle/Russell/Alfano/Fleece/Campbell/Calvert/Peterson will produce five or six 20 point scorers. I wouldn't...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Taylor Makar jumped from 9 points as a junior to 30 as a 24 y/o senior. Holt made consistent gains every year and went from 20 points as a junior to 32 and best defensive defenseman in the league as a 24 y/o senior. You can just admit you hate Maine Hockey.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Only Drew would spin an article about a rising trend of students staying closer to home and choosing more affordable colleges as a negative for UMaine hockey. Never change Chicken Little.

    It took Towson missing a ~25 yard FG but they managed to hold on, a win is a win.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    I thought this was an interesting question so I went back over the last few years using https://www.mainehockeyhistory.com/recruiting Nick Peluso, Josh Nadeau, Bradly Nadeau and Ryan Hopkins all committed at ~17 and made it to Orono. Thomas Pichette, Nolan Renwick and Lynden Breen all committed...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    I don't have any "sources" so if you say the Alfonds push UMO to keep football I can't dispute it. I'd be a little surprised, as they built the ice rink at UNE but don't have their name on the football field. Out of all the schools they've given money to Colby and UMO are the only ones with...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    And they've only made the national semifinals once since then. That's not exactly what I would call regularly competing for a 1-AA national championship. I hear the major donors line all the time, but does Maine really have any major recurring donors outside of the Alfonds? There have been a...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    So they draw less fans than hockey despite having roughly double the capacity. Let's compare sustained success over the last few decades. Football has made the playoffs 6 times since 1990. Hockey has made the tournament 14 times since 1990. Football made the semifinals (frozen 4) once since...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    I think if he was looking for an exit strategy his name would've been out there a lot more with Minnesota's opening. A lot of Minnesota fans floated his name, but I don't remember seeing anyone in the media float it once interviews started. He may not have been the top candidate but he...

    He did pretty well with only one in 24-25.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Barr was recently on a podcast called Mindset Matters, it was an interesting listen. He states that he knew within 2 weeks of players being on campus last year he knew there were going to be cultural issues. He says that last year everyone was scrambling to bring in CHL players without much due...

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    The only thing that's "clearly not true" here is you claiming to be a Maine fan. You contradict yourself constantly to try to shit on the program ever since Guite was passed over for Barr (which was "clearly" the right decision). They have the second best recruiting class on paper in over 15...

    Weren't you just saying that the sky is falling on the UMS because some professors wrote an Op Ed? You're mad that the University System doesn't have unlimited money, but you're also mad they're trying to be fiscally responsible? Make it make sense...

    Ludvig Lafton confirmed for next season. Only taken in the 6th round, another recruiting failure for Barr and Co. https://x.com/maineicehockey/status/2071581955305685479?s=46

    Well they've only announced three players so far.

    Maine Black Bears 2026 Offseason: Missing Out on Mistlebacher

    Yeah, we'll never see Maine fly across the country to play a top 5 team while Barr is the coach! Just impossible for that to ever happen.
