Rhode Island 3 Maine 0 -FINAL

[ISUMatt]

Maine in a tad bit of trouble now

[Brad82]

Big upset over # 15 Maine!
Lets see if they build on it w/some more wins the rest of the year.

Are you serious? Just a FG? How were the field conditions? :o

[Appstate29]

hmmm looks like no one wants to go to the playoffs, San Diego just might get a bid if this stuff continues...

[TexasTerror]

They were 16th on my ballot...and on the AGS poll...

That's some mid-poll shakeup!

Rhode Island's first A10 win on the year. Maine falls out of a tie in the A-10 North. Would have to win out just to get the seven wins now...

At UMass. New Hampshire. Northeastern. Still remain...

SHHHHHH delete this, those guys will never let us hear the end of it!

[Dane96]

Well, if the weather was anything like it is in Boston right now....it would be tropical storm like conditions. It is horrendous up here!

[ISUMatt]

UMass/NE are playing in the middle of a pond for crying out loud!!

[FlyYtown]

That hurts YSU too... They pass to much, thats why they lost this.. You can't pass in the rain efficiently.

Just returned from this game. Torrential wind and rain throughout. Nice win by Rhody, but it's not like they deserved to win any more than Maine did. Neither team could move the ball. I think the passing yards were 23 for Maine and 19 for Rhody. ugly game. I'm still trying to dry off

sounds like a hockey score

[th0m]

Well....I think Maine actually has a pretty decent hockey team ;)

I was rooting for them last week ;)

Nice win by URI. Classic A10 upset. Rhody has some talent and they are tough so its not a huge surprise. The Black Bears are in a tough spot now, but there is plenty of football left to play ....

Thanks to their weekend sweep of your friends in Grand Forks,they are ranked #1 in at least one of the latest polls.

Disappointing outing for the Black Bears. You're right -- game conditions were truly ridiculous. But the Rams hit their field goal and Maine did not.

Maine had more than its share of chances to put this one away. Several nice drives stalled around URI's 20 or 30. We even KO'd the starting URI QB in the first half (hope he's OK?). But the Rams kept coming.

Stowers does more clever stuff off that Triple Option set than I've ever seen a coach do. His blocking schemes were giving the Maine DBs and LBs fits. Congrats, Rhodies. You scratched-and-clawed ur (get it?) way to a win and you deserved it.

Maine now has no margin for error. Gotta win out or kiss playoffs goodbye.

I think Maine just got itself eliminated. The next 2 weeks will be crucial for them. I'd say -- must win.

[JMU_MRD'03-'07]

I'd love to see some footage from this game, must have been a sight to see.

[Go...gate]

Congrats to the Rams!

Yes indeed, Maine has a good hockey team. Ranked #1 in the nation right now.

As for football, this loss really aggrevates me. :bang: As much as we laud the UMaine defense, a.k.a. The Black Hole, that's only one part of the game. While special teams have improved at UMaine, they still look pale after this weekend.

But that's not even the worst part. It's the ZERO points on the board. You can talk all day about a driving rain storm, but if you don't put points on the board, you won't win any titles. All season long, the offense has put many of its points on the board via "big plays" early, and relying on the defense to get the win. I don't care if you have the 1985 Chicago Bears defense, no defense can win a game if the offense puts up a goose egg.

Maine can still make the playoffs with wins over Northeastern, at UMass, and UNH. We could see 8-3 or 5-6 from this team very easily. I've said before that these last few games will truly show what this team is made of. Let's see if the Maine O can prove its worth.

Fire Jack Cosgrove......there, I feel better now :)

Yes, it was "whiff duh wind"..........that's easy for you to say! xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx :rotateh: :rotateh: :rotateh:

Still, it's impressive that the URI kicker hit the waterlogged piggy hard enough and high enough into the jet stream to make the kick!!
