UNH at Maine

[mainejeff]

Wow.....football is so big in New England! xrolleyesx

Hopefully there will be more interest in this game by Saturday morning. xrolleyesx xrolleyesx xrolleyesx

My prediction:

Maine 28 UNH 17

[jcmanson]

The Flames will be pulling for ya UNH.

You may want to research Maine's stats during their 6 game win streak before you tar and feather me for my prediction. xthumbsupx

[UNH SUPERFAN]

What's the long range weather forecast for Orono on Saturday, anyone know yet?

Oh, UNH- 24, UMaine- 10

[mainejeff]

35 and sunny.....so far.

[R3TRO]

This is going to be a good game, always is. This week cannot go by fast enough.

[KAUMASS]

After watching both teams play UMass, I'd say this game comes down to Maine's defense versus the UNH offense. Who ever plays better, wins.

The UNH offense can be potent from anywhere on the field, Maine's offense is just physical and methodically slow, but they use the clock and move the ball consistantly. I'd rate them equal in strength.

Maine has a better defense. UNH's defense can be run upon, which plays into Maine's strength.

Anything can happen, but I'd give Maine the edge by 3 points at home.

Good luck to both teams.

[rcny46]

I just think the stats are meaningless in a game like this.The intangibles will decide the outcome,and to me it's beyond prediction.UNH could completely blow Maine away;Maine could totally thwart UNH's offense,and hold them to a couple of scores and physically dominate.Who knows.

I think that you are right......both teams have the talent and motivation to win. It may come down to the emotion of game day and who has "it".

[UNHFootballAlum]

It will all come down to momentum. Whoever can sustain it will claim the big prize

[UNHFootballAlum]

I think that will be UNH 24-21

[rcny46]

I think that you are right......both teams have the talent and motivation to win. It may come down to the emotion of game day and who has "it".


Hopefully both teams will be sky high.UNH will definitely have to avoid mistakes and penalties as much as possible.I think they've had 16 or 17 flags in the last two games,and that can be a killer in a close one.I'm looking forward to a great game-can't wait.

[Ivytalk]

I'm rooting for Maine!!!xthumbsupx Because my neighbor went there!


In spite of mainejeff...xcoffeex xcoffeex xcoffeex

[UNH 40]

I don't think UNH's defense has been given enough credit. They have played great recently forcing tons of turnovers and converting most of them into points. I actually think we will hold maine to a low point total and be playoff bound for the fifth straight year.

UNH 35-17

UNH 35-17
15 takeaways the past three games.

[jlcharles]

15 takeaways the past three games.
2 against Nova. 13 in the other two games? That's crazy.

[UNHWildCats]

2 against Nova. 13 in the other two games? That's crazy.
Average 3.1 per game.

[R3TRO]

I think without the threat of the pass, not saying they can't pass just not as much of a threat as Coen, they can focus more on the run and pack the box. My prediction is a good game.

[smcwildcat]

agreed must stop the run and we can win

[art vandelay]

agreed must stop the run and we can win

I hate your wording. you say "we can win" as if it is somehow unlikely.
more like stop the run and maine is in big trouble, or we will win, or something thats shows confidence.

[Jackman]

Let's go, dirty cubs!

I'm getting on the bandwagon early for your triumphant run through the playoffs!

[T-Dog]

Maine is probably the most surprising FCS team in the nation this year besides Weber St. In the conference they're in, who would have though they would be in this position at the end?

Despite my criticisms of UNH, I think they'll put it out and Maine dream ends. The CAA gets four teams in (UNH, JMU, Nova, W&M/UR winner)

[UNHFootballAlum]

If UNH's D can get off the field on 3rd downs, they will win this game. That will be critical

[OxSoxUNH05]

TURNOVERS are going to be a huge key to this game. UNH's D has been generating turnovers like crazy the last few games.

Last week on the first UMass drive, if we don't pick that ball its 7-3 instead it was 10-0 UNH and the drubbing began.

That being said, if the team that showed up last week shows up in Orono than sorry Maine better luck next year!

[Cobblestone]

I was impressed with Maine's Jared Turcotte. He ran all over us last Saturday. This will be a great game between two northern New England rivals. There is plenty to play for and plenty of emotion on the line. With rivalry games you can usually throw the record book out the window. This one could go either way.

Bottom line for me, I'm just happy to see two former Yankee Conference programs doing this well. Kind of makes me wonder if we'll ever get there.

[ccd494]

If Maine wins, can we get separated out from the CAA as a whole in your signature? :D

[WrenFGun]

The hard nose running game of Maine will be the difference.

WHAT A SURPRISE! Go do something else than pick UNH to lose every week.

[UNH SUPERFAN]

Anyone hear anything about possible TV coverage? This seems like a natural for NESN.

[WrenFGun]

First of all, congratulations to Maine on their improbable run to make this a game. They have a ton of momentum.

This game concerns me because I think Brusko is a lot like Whitney of Villanova. He does not make mistakes with the ball and he can take the ball and run it himself. He's completing almost 70% of his passes and has a QB rating approaching 200. Maine has five players with over 300 yards rushing, including Brusko. UNH, generally, has been able to contain inside running attacks (though struggled with Nelson against UMass), but what concerns me is their ability to contain Brusko moving to the outside or keeping on the inside. UNH has been burned tons of times by having good coverage but not being able to get to the QB.

The keys to the game:

1. Score touchdowns. UNH was in the RZ a ton of times against 'Nova but couldn't cash in. Maine will run the clock down and control possession, so UNH needs to get the most of their possessions.

2. Avoid penalties. The penalties the last few weeks have killed us.

3. Keep Brusko to the inside. If he can continually get 4 or 5 yards on potential throws that fail, that will kill UNH's chances.

Good luck to both teams. HUGE GAME.

[bainsey]

I haven't been this pumped for football game in a long time.

Wren, I think you nailed it. I don't expect a lot of turnovers either way, and these programs know each other too well to be surprised. Both will come out fired up, so it will all be a matter of execution.

Get out The Musket, and let's get it on!

[R3TRO]

bainsey, two things.....

$5.00 GA tickets, good idea, how are the sales going?

Is tailgating no longer allowed in the North parking lot (behind the scoreboard)?

[OxSoxUNH05]

Unfortunately no buzz about TV coverage? Like a previous poster said, you'd think NESN would be all over this? Guess they don't care if it's not hockey east?

[R3TRO]

I know its early in the week but you can't help but think about the injured players and hope for the best. Anyone hear any leaks on whether Jellison will be ready for this game and if Sicko's shoulder is a serious injury? To have all three of our backs (Simpson, Kackert, & Jellison) for this Maine game would be awesome! It wouldn't hurt to have Sicko back either.

[santosballnewhampshire]

So far, Sicko is ready to go, but will not be at a complete 100%

[bainsey]

Haven't heard about sales. All I know is I paid full price for an adult and youth ticket last week, so I'm looking for a voucher of some sort!

There's still a tailgating section in that area, but it's not right up against the fence anymore. It's on the other side of the parking lot, which is still pretty accessible to everything.

And it's official, the game will not be televised. Apparently, all TV stations are already committed. Personally, I'm not bothered by that, as we need all the fans that we can get!

[tingly]

WABI didn't pick it up because their airing the state championship games.

[ccd494]

There is a tab on the schedule on goblackbears to watch online. Is that their free service that they use for like women's hockey and volleyball games?

I note it is also next to the hockey games against Merrimack this weekend, are those WABI games?

[yorkcountyUNHfan]

Any Maine AGSers going to this game?

[Minuteman87]

Good luck to both teams. I don't have any particular allegiance to either school, but I think I am leaning a bit toward Maine since they have been success-starved the past few years. Either way, we NEED a YanCon team in the playoffs!

[PapaBear]

Any Maine AGSers going to this game?

I will be there to tailgate and root my a## off for the Black Bears!

Can't wait. I'd be in line NOW if I didn't think the Orono cops would bag me for loitering.

Good idea by Maine with the $5 tickets.....lets hope they fill they place up!

I'll be there with about 40 other Southern Mainers. Many UMaine grads and a couple former UMaine players. This day they'll be pulling for the Wildcats. We'll be in the lot at the scoreboard end. We'll be the guys with the Cat Club banner!!! If you see us stop buy.

[WrenFGun]

I'll swing by assuming I get there at a reasonable hour!

Terrified already.

[bainsey]

Any Maine AGSers going to this game?
Absolutely! I'll stop by at some point, YC.

By the way, the ticket office is coming through for me with some hoop tickets (3-0 start... first time in 37 years!). Nice gesture on their part.

[santosballnewhampshire]

just looked at the weather, it's gonna be pretty cold up in Orono

If they can't fill the stadium for agame like this, then they just can fill the stadium. A rivalry game with a playoff berth on the line - what else could you want???? Good luck to both teams in playing the best they can, may the best team win.

[UNHlund]

just looked at the weather, it's gonna be pretty cold up in Orono

Partly Cloudy, 28 degrees

At least it should be clear. I don't think rain/snow would help the Wildcats much.

[rcny46]

Welcome to Any Given Saturday! It's always good to see another UNH fan joining the group.The California players are going to love those weather conditions.

[UNHlund]

Welcome to Any Given Saturday! It's always good to see another UNH fan joining the group.The California players are going to love those weather conditions.

I'm sure. I don't think RJ has thrown a pass in under 40 degree weather in his life.

Thanks for the welcome!

[WrenFGun]

Apparently Jellison and Sicko will both be back for this week, which looks to be a big help. Droesch is still out.

[rcny46]

I read something,somewhere today that seemed to indicate that Josh Droesch could be back by the time the playoffs begin.That would be a big help if UNH makes it.The O line played well last week I thought.If Scott Sicko isn't 100%,Chris Jeannot is a quality backup.As far as Sean Jellison is concerned,he compliments Kackert and Simpson in the backfield,and adds another dimension to the running game.

[smcwildcat]

o yeah baby all guns are runningg if i have a corny powerpoint made for the maine game how could I send you guys the link?

[WrenFGun]

I'd imagine you could PM us for our email addresses and then email us. That'd probably work best. Will you be heading to the game, SMC?

[mainejeff]

It should be noted that Durham, NH will be 32 and partly cloudy just in case people think that Orono weather is so much worse.......xrolleyesx

[WrenFGun]

Heh, fair. What annoys me about the drive to Orono is that there seems to be literally nothing between Portland and Orono. What a painful drive.

[SOCAL]

I'm sure. I don't think RJ has thrown a pass in under 40 degree weather in his life.

Thanks for the welcome!

Except for the past 3 years at this time in Durham during practice :)

[bainsey]

What annoys me about the drive to Orono is that there seems to be literally nothing between Portland and Orono. What a painful drive.

That's nothing, Wren. Try driving NORTH of Orono. I-95 goes for another two hours, and after an hour you're getting into a 25-mile stretch without an exit. At least everything between Portland and Orono is populated.

Just find a good radio station or two on your way up, and once you hit the metropolis of Bangor, you know you're almost there.

[smcwildcat]

I'd imagine you could PM us for our email addresses and then email us. That'd probably work best. Will you be heading to the game, SMC?


no i wont unfortunetly... im at school too far away whats your email?

[UNHFan]

UNH try to cut back on dumb dumb!! Mistakes they win 38-20 If this is a close game Maine 24-21 If I see a "Only 6 men on the line flag" 1 more time I am going to jump through the screen and strangle someone!! lol Man for man the UNH has the talent so guys lets play the way we can!

[BlackBear]

Update on the weather:

High: 29 degrees
Windchill 15 degrees
Breezy: 10 - 20 mph

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Old Cat Fan]

Apparently Jellison and Sicko will both be back for this week, which looks to be a big help. Droesch is still out.

From the Seacoastonline:
Health check

The Wildcats expect to bring nearly a full complement of players to Orono. The only question mark is tight end Scott Sicko, who sat out last week with chest and shoulder injuries and is questionable.

Sicko practiced on Tuesday and Wednesday with limited contact. He is the team's second-leading receiver with 39 catches for 469 yards, and a key blocker in the running game.

"You don't know how the chest is going to hang in there," said McDonnell. "We're hoping."

Defensive tackle Jordan Long (ankle) and tailback Sean Jellison (concussion) have both been cleared to go. Offensive tackle Josh Droesch is out for at least another game after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee last week.

[UNH Fanboi]

Unfortunately no buzz about TV coverage? Like a previous poster said, you'd think NESN would be all over this? Guess they don't care if it's not hockey east?

Yeah, so I guess this isn't happening if we haven't heard anything yet? Looks like I'll be listening on Yahoo radio again.

[SOCAL]

If I understand correctly, it is a single camera with the radio broadcast. Kinda like what would be on a videoboard in the stadium, if Maine had one, maybe.

Disregard. This option is the Maine All Access Channel. $80 annually.

[WrenFGun]

I can take it, anyway UNH looked good against Mass last week, they have come a long way from the Rhody game, but I still think Maine has the momentum,and will be able to run the ball well in the cold.xthumbsupx

Never!! :p :D :D

I like Jim Jeannotte. His usual color guy, Mike Murphy, is not at the game today. The SID, Scott Stapin, is doing color today and I don't think he's normally a radio guy.

I wasn't sure because a lot of people on AGS erroneously think Travis is a loyal attendee at our Wildcat games.

I feel terrible that I'm not in Orono today with my tailgate buddies but I'm in Florida on a 16th annual family vacation. Saw the first nine games in person before leaving though.

Yeah WABI is doing the high school state championship games today.

None of the Portland channels had any interest in broadcasting them and letting WABI just pick up their feed, so they had to send all their equipment down to Portland, leaving nothing for Orono, is my understanding.

[R3TRO]

Alright, lets get this show on the road... the anticipation is too much.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

well sorry for having no money or transportation :(

Well, next year when the game is at Hofstra and you can't afford the public transportation to Hempstead, make some friends with members of the NYC chapter of the UNH Alumni Association. I'm pretty sure one of them whould give you a ride. Last year, they brought the Class of '59 alum back to wherever you catch the shuttle to JFK. They were a young bunch of folks, very friendly.

Check with one of the die hards, we might even have a ticket available. Restraint on predictions and comments about UNH would be a good idea. ;) :p :p

[Old Cat Fan]

Need to get the ball in Sicko's hands more

[ccd494]

Maine has thrown zero passes, I only remember two for UNH?

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Plowing the field off right now. Maine gets the ball. UNH chose to kick into the wind in order to have the wind in the fourth quarter.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

2nd half is underway!!!

[ccd494]

And there's 1 for 1 on the day for Brusko, big pass to Turcotte!

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Maine throws their first pass and it's a long gain.

[Old Cat Fan]

Maine has thrown zero passes, I only remember two for UNH?

make that one, big gain

[ccd494]

What was that play?

Maine brought out the punter in a "muddle huddle" and throws a 13 yard pass? Okay.

[Old Cat Fan]

So radioman smells fake punt but the team can't xeyebrowx

[ccd494]

TOUCHDOWN MAINE! BRUSKO ON THE 1 YARD PLUNGE!

[ccd494]

So radioman smells fake punt but the team can't xeyebrowx

Well, teams do often punt on the opponent's 25.

[R3TRO]

Stupid penalties! xnonono2x

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

John Clements runs the kick back to midfield but of course their is a holding penalty on UNH and the ball will be on their own 22.

[smcwildcat]

im beyond mad about penaltys

[smcwildcat]

stop the flagsssss

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Chris Jeannot catches a bomb, wrestling it away from a Maine defender. UNH in Maine territory.

[ccd494]

I don't know if there are any other Mainers following this (probably either in Orono or Portland), but Class B state final:

Mountain Valley 52
Morse 7

Class C up next.

[Old Cat Fan]

Simpson the snowplow

[ccd494]

Phew, Toman misses a wide open Kackert

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Well, teams do often punt on the opponent's 25.

That doesn't happen too often by UNH.

[R3TRO]

TD CATS.. NICE

[ccd494]

TD Toman to Boyle


Ugh, can we get the snow back?

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

29 yard TD pass to Boyle!!

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

UNH radio guy thought it was a safety too.

[Old Cat Fan]

[ccd494]

Maine audio is two plays behind.

[Syntax Error]

can't see it snowing but it is

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Despite a good return and a Maine penalty, UNH does nothing and punts.

[ccd494]

Maine apparently put in a bid to host next week. Don't really see that happening, but nice that they tried.

[JMU-MRD-DAD]

Score....time left...

[ccd494]

End 3

Maine 24
UNH 21

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

End of the 3rd, Maine 24-21.

[R3TRO]

God I love penalties..

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

UNH has Maine stopped deep AGAIN and commits another personal foul(face mask).

[biobengal]

can't see it snowing but it is

It's quit snowing... wind is still blowing.

[art vandelay]

unbelievable. this is just amazing.

[art vandelay]

if they lose im not going to feel bad at all. i am so sick of seing this team give up stupid penalties.

[rcny46]

I can't listen to this anymore-just too damn discouraging with all these penalties and giving the other team more chances.Another Maine score will make it difficult for UNH to pull this one out.I don't understand their philosophy really.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

if they lose im not going to feel bad at all. i am so sick of seing this team give up stupid penalties.

It has been their MO this year. xrolleyesx xmadx

[ccd494]

I know the players are the ones doing it, but at what point does it reflect on poor coaching which results in a team that seems like they are playing the guards in The Longest Yard xconfusedx

[ccd494]

TOUCHDOWN MAINE!

[ccd494]

Never mind, coming back for a hold. Tough to keep up with flags on the webcast.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Maine TD called back on a holding call.

[R3TRO]

Who's got beer?


Someone just cracked one in the video room.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

UNH dodges a bullet as Maine is out of bounds on their catch. Ball turns over to the Wildcats.

[R3TRO]

Kackert has some great speed.

[ccd494]

Touchdown UNH

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

TD UNH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[R3TRO]

Holy cow...

[Will]

[R3TRO]

Edit: N/m.. just got a scoreboard shot.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Everybody is confused by where the snow has been plowed along the sideline.

28-24 UNH

3:27 left.

[Will]

I can't believe this game isn't on TV.

[art vandelay]

[ccd494]

[rcny46]

Couldn't bear to leave.What in the world can you possibly say about the play of Mike Boyle when they needed a big play in so many games this season.COME ON D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[ccd494]
