The image above is a scan of the Maine 2007 yearbook. They were selling them as game programs in Orono. Lot's of Black Bear info. That will go in the Blog's archives!

The UMass Collegian has two articles here and here .
The Maine campus newspaper is here .
NOTES FROM THE BLOG:
My impressions from attending the game is that Maine is going to have a rough year. They do not seem to have much on offense (they're last in the league) and did not show anything Saturday. It was so bad that Maine kept their leading rusher Jhamal Fluellen out of the game in the second half to save him "bumps and bruises" (so said the Bangor newspaper).
The Black Bear kicking game is also poor. They are last in the CAA in field goals (1 for 4).
UMass linebacker and Captain Charles Walker was not happy about loosing the shutout. He chewed out the defense after the score. He was rapidly replaced by Coach Brown who also did some yelling.
Matty Vautour often comments on road dinning in his UMass Sports Blog. Mrs. Blog and I ate at Dysart's Truck Stop Restaurant . Had a great time.
No UMass cheerleaders made the trip to Orono.
Last year the Black Bears led the A10 in rushing defense giving up only 63.9 yards/game. Saturday, UMass had 289 rushing yards and averaged 6.9 yards a pop.
UPDATE: Matt Vautour has a Maine game article here (but he doesn't say where he ate), registration required.
