If you want difficult driving in the winter, go between Mars Hill and Presque Isle or Mars Hill and Fort Fairfield. Doesn't have to be snowing, just windy with some powder in the tater fields

That's uphill both ways as well, isn't it?

Arnie Davis did it. 2.5 hours each way for EVERY game!

He did sometimes, sometimes he didn't. If you ever got a Potato pin or Arnies card you were a friend for life. Dedicated Maine fan(all sports) and one hell of a nice guy.

Wow, that's impressive. You're willing to both mischaracterize what I did with the team while simultaneously denigrating the people who have done that job over the years. All so you can score points on a mythical scoreboard. Very big of you.

Back in The Day, I would take the 10-hour drive to see my brother in Lincoln in the dead of Winter. We'd drive to Orono from there to watch Maine.

What I remember most about those drives was how big the "sand" spread on the road was north of Bangor. It was essentially gravel, maybe even rip-rap. Went through two windshields over the years.

And on one -25 night, the gas in my lovely two-door '77 Impala gelled in the fuel-lines. D*** thing stalled on even the slightest grades on 95. Had to pull over on the shoulder several times.

But, a concerned fellow Pine-Stater bailed me out with a bottle of dry gas (remember that stuff?) somewhere above Howland. I'd still be sending him a Christmas card if I had his address.

Yes, I do go on and on, but my point is aligned with your earlier one: I-95 isn't your typical aseptic highway.

Sure wasn't then, and it isn't now, either.

Todays weather will test the resolve and hardiness of us fans to travel to the game, but not to the extent of the previous mentioned legend. Test the DOTs abilities of keeping I95 ice free, while also checking the local towns abilities to keep some sand on the "roads". Admittedly I'm not feeling confident of the road maintenance from here to I95 for just an hour trip South to get to the game. But it will be tested. Feed the horses bring some tow straps and of course 4x4.

Also admittedly I wouldn't go if we already didn't have tickets.

Off-the-Wall Q, but you guys were helpful when I followed Omaha north...
Who is the current coach of the Lewiston/Auburn (Maine) Nordiques? Thanks.

...And don't forget a flask of brandy.
 
Re: Maine

UncleRay, can you do me a favor and google it and then let me know? I watched them play Monday night in Elmira (N.Y.), googled it at every opportunity, and still couldn’t find a definitive answer. I was hoping someone in Maine would know off the top of their head, but if you could look it up for me, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

According to their website, https://www.lanordiquesna3.com/stats/roster/34, the head coach is Chris Pomerleau, and he is assisted by John Racine.
 
Re: Maine

Glad I'm not at Alfond. Roads are going to be brutal after the game, temps dropping quickly and wind has picked up
