Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
What has this administration done lately to show that they give a crap about wins and losses?
Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
they pay the hockey head coach more than almost any other state employee... if they truly did not care, then couldn't they get a different babysitter for about $60k?

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
Oh sure there is. With 11 teams next season we can fall 3 more places, not to mention morale, attendance, $$ etc etc. Don't underestimate the depths of which Timmay can bury this program.

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
A coworker today at lunch was asking an intern from UMaine whether the rumor he heard just last night was true that Whitehead had been relieved of his coaching duties already. Apparently there's rumors circulating that are quite widespread that it's already a done deal, although an announcement certainly hasn't made things official yet.

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
I heard the same rumor... that the deal is done, not that he has been relieved of his duties.
and based on Priceless's last post, I would bet that he knows something.

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
My sources (and before any Wisenheimers jump in - no TW is not a source) have not heard a peep. I would have expected people on campus to have heard it. When/if it happens it isn't going to stay quiet for very long.
And what did the intern say? I could ask if the moon is made of bleu cheese...

Don't get your fingers too greasy from the fried chicken. You won't be able to effectively work the controller. This lack of attention to detail could cost you a game or two.

Where there's smoke...I've said it quite a few times, but I really can't see why they would bring him back. People can run out the $190K argument but I don't by it.

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
I said a long time ago that it would be addition by subtraction. But the U doesn't have anyone smart enough to figure that out apparently. The math is quite simple. New coach = 1000 more fans in the seats at home games. Avg spent per fan $50 (probably more but we'll go with this) = $50,000 increased revenue per home game $50,000 x 16 home games = $800,000 So let's be real conservative and cut that to $500,000. $500,000 -$190,000 = $310,000 NET GAIN. They could fly to Notre Dame 5 times next year. I don't get how they could be so stupid not to see this.

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
it was not that long ago that you wrote on this forum that you would stop contributing here BECAUSE one of your sources was miffed that you posted inside info.
might that not lead us to believe that the source no longer tells you anything? or that you are not going to spill any beans if you are told?

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
I assure you, the accounting professors have been looking at this as "consultants" and acting as actuarials to look at the short and long-term results and how long they can depreciate the buyout...

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
they're not the ones whose consulting expertise told the AD that $50 seats at the almond was a good idea? or that pi55ing off Stephen King for a short sighted contract would help over the long haul... were they?

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
Well that would be about half a season. A buyout wouldn't be depreciated.....it would be greatly appreciated!!

Where is it set in stone that the minute Whitehead is out it will be 1,000 more fans in seats? You are making assumptions.

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
It is an assumption, however, there are alot of people that have posted they are giving up their season tix, have given up their tix, don't go to games anymore etc. If/when he goes those same people have said they'll come back. I'm sure there are alot more who aren't on this forum that feel the same way. So yes it's an assumption, but I feel it's an accurate one. Maybe not 1000, maybe 800, maybe 900. Point is there will be more fans in the seats = more revenue.

Re: Maine Summer 2013 - Pizza Season
Reports are that someone is leaving the UMaine program. Not the one you were hoping for....
Justin Edwards is reportedly leaving the hoops team, per WMEB
