The CBS College Sports announcers have me wondering.....

How long has Alfond Arena been called the "Little Fenway Park"?

How long has the ME/UNH rivalry been referred to as the "Border Wars"

A Maine fan will have to answer your first question, but I think you'll find the term "Border War" is used for any rivalry between teams in states that border each other.

I'm guessing those are Made for TV. I've never heard anyone call Alfond "Little Fenway" and the "Border War" certainly didn't exist in the early 90's...

UNH to the PP as Speelman was slashed going to the net... Dee to the box.

I think it came from the pregame segment. Eric Frede was saying "They call it the border war."

I think he meant "My producer said to call it the border war"

It's the only reason people call them our rivals.

Of note: I sent a bunch of pizzas to the cold fans in line. Hopefully it warmed/filled them up rather than making them feel bloated and greasy. Radio doesn't do them justice, do they seem into it?
 
Re: UHN @ Maine (12/10)

Little Fenway Park? No way.
Border War? First I heard it. Supposedly NH is still trying to steal an island off Maine but the Supreme Court says ix nay.
 
Maine 1 UNH 1, Period 1

Maine 1 UNH 1, Period 1

Maine kills the penalty, under a minute to go in the period.
 
Re: UHN @ Maine (12/10)

Kessel screws the pooch at the blue line and the UNH PP looks borderline mite-like the rest of the time... Dee out of the box.

Really?

Show up in Orono, Maine, Friday night when New Hampshire visits Maine. Sellout? No question. The building will be packed by the start of warmups for what has been nicknamed “The Border War.” Described by coach Tim Whitehead as “our little Fenway Park,” Alfond Arena is an impossible ticket most weekends with students waiting at times overnight the night before camped out in the parking lot to get tickets. The same happens at Miami and North Dakota. No football stadium needed for these programs to demonstrate the sports potential.

The Little Fenway Park was referenced in Dave Starman's column today rialing against the Big 10 mentality and the Wall Street Journal that's probably where they got it.

They're into it. The game's been kinda lackluster so far, but the fans seem lively. Looks like a sellout crowd.
