Here's an online definition of humble: "having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance." I can easily see how PK could have that view and can certainly see how whoever you are referring to at the end (:rolleyes: ) would not have been humbled by that.
 
Re: Maine Hockey 2014-15 Volume 2: Red's Revenge

Nice. Big forward, can put up some points, but seems to be more a defensive/face-off guy. Sorta like Corkum or a Dave Lacouture.

Need a few guys like that on a team.

Very nice pick-up and it sounds like he produced very well on the third line for Youngstown last season. You're right, Maine needs more big, physical forwards who can play both ways.

Plenty of size coming in. I mean we are going to be huge and look like a pro team. Nothing wrong with that I guess so long as we have some speed to compliment that size.

As it stands right now Maine has 16 forwards, 10 defensemen and five goaltenders (albeit two of them are practice tenders). Who will be in suits and ties most of the year?

has anyone considered the possibility that Maine is looking to make the jump to D3?

I would likely say, "It's about darn time!"

If I said that I was humbled by that, it would be a poor use of the word, perhaps. The vernacular doesn't mean, "that award has caused me to become humble." It means, "since I have a low estimate of my own importance, I didn't believe I deserved that award." That might not be the old definition of "humble," but it is what it has become. Words can come to have way different meanings over time.

i suppose football would go the way of the BU and Northeastern teams first, but, frankly, i can see it happening.... I can see hockey either going D3 or no hockey at all.

(and yeah, I know the rules about if ya have D1 teams, but I am sure they can figure a way around it... move all the teams to D3, for example. I cannot think of a great reason to keep seding mediocre teams all over the north east, just to lose, and I certainly cannot think of a single reason to keep bringing in the inner city football players from new jersey and lettign them take early childhood education for free while the poor kids from Dover Foxcroft have to pay thier own ways in the engineering programs after their parents paid Maine taxes their whole lives)

I do not know what that means. whether I am governor or not, there is next to no money being put into the right places at the university. thank god some people started realizing that there needs to be some consilidation and all campuses cannot have so many different programs, but there are still too many administrators.

as for D3 hockey. let me ask you this, if there were only 2 options, which would you choose. A good D3 team that competed for titles, or a bottom dweller team that only made it to the garden once a decade and did not win there and only got to theNCAA tourney once every 20 or 30 years (Merrimack-ish). Lucky for me, I live far south and I can just go turncoat if I want to see good hockey.

Well, Beaney is finally gone at USM. His brother was marjorly successful in Vermont, but not much ever happened in Gorham over the decades. Lets see what Harding can do. Too bad we couldn't move the D1 program down sooth but c'est la vie. Here's your chance to see just a stellar D3 program on the Olympic ice sheet.

Football costs more but football donors are active, removing football would probably cause a bigger uproar than hockey. I don't disagree on the money part sooner or later something has to give. Seems to me campuses in Machias and Fort Kent should go first before they gut Orono.
