I set my alarm this morning and made sure that I was online at 8:30 a.m. to buy my Colgate at Maine tickets for October 23-24.
Even doing that, I felt lucky to get two seats near each other for Friday, and in different sections for Saturday.
I fully expect both games will be Sold Out soon in the 5,043-seat Alfond Arena in Orono. Crazy!
That got me thinking about Colgate's record against Maine.
All-time, we lead 9-8-5.
In the 10-season Class of 1965 Arena Era, which I consider the Modern Era, we are 3-2-3.
And in the 3-season Coach Mike Harder Era, we are 1-2-1.
All-in-all, not bad records.
Colgate vs. Maine All-Time Record: 9-8-5

P.S. - my brother Al, who graduated from Colgate in 1968, will join me for this weekend in Maine. We will definitely be missing our oldest brother Bill, a 1959 'Gate grad.
