They have waiting list every year, this is not UNH we are talking about

No they don't this is the first time in recent memory, if not ever.

UMaine is now offering students from a bunch of northeastern states "in state" tuition. If you live in Connecticut and go to UMaine, you pay the price you would pay at UConn. That sent applications way up.

"Provost Jeffrey Hecker said the longest-serving admissions employee, who has been at UMaine for 30 years, can’t remember it happening. UMaine has wait-listed individual academic programs in the past."

This new program is the first decent decision administration has made in quite a while. It's certainly much better than trying to hoodwink a bunch of kids from Beijing or Chennai. Hopefully some of the kids will stick around after graduation.

Did anybody else catch the national anthem for game 4 in San Jose? It sounded like Mike Tuell was there playing his guitar!

Oof. That's rough.

ProTip: If you buy tickets for Portland, go through the UM ticket office and pay only a single $6 fee instead of the criminal "facility charge" and "service fee" pricing that Ticketmaster tacks on to every ticket they sell.

Can you buy through the ticket office online somehow? Going through goblackbears.com routes you through Ticketmaster and two $30 tickets becomes two $40 tickets in a heartbeat.

Oooof. That describes you fairly well.

I believe you need to call them or buy in person. As you say, links go directly to Ticketmaster. I could be wrong but that is likely a contractual obligation.

I thought it was awful and also think the same about Mike's rendition.

All it says is best available which could be anywhere.

Maine is increasing enrollment with this approach, but in a few departments there are not enough faculty to teach the course load.

And its a package deal of 3 games only ...cant pick a single game ....not the greatest way to sell tickets imo. Might be worth a call to the ticket office and see whats shakin.
