Maine Forced to Fill Sked w/DII Team

Post by Col Hogan »

When the Florida Gators bailed out of a scheduled match with the Maine Black Bears for a television match, it gave Maine a nice pay day...but left a hole in their schedule...

That hole has been filled with a match with St. Cloud State...

I am sure they could of got a local game. No way every team in the northeast and the rest of DI was really not available.

Even with Richmond, UMass and Delaware ALL at home, it's gonna be a tall order for Maine to make the playoffs again with only 9 "counters" (since I'm sure we all agree they won't beat Syracuse).

It will be tough, but don't rule out the Syracuse game. Syracuse is really bad.

It depends on who is coming back for Maine. Syracuse really REALLY sucks and has a new coach. If Maine returns most of last years team, they could upset. Not that it's really that much of an upset to begin with.

Does CS have any Maine followers?

I'm gonna guess Syracuse wins by 24.

well looking at St Cloud State they dont look to be that bad of a d2 team so i actually think Maine may want to actually prepare for this game.
