Throwback Thursday

If you think this is the worst winter ever on the UMaine campus and that outdoor spring sports will never get here, think again. While we can expect the first few home series for the Black Bear baseball and softball teams to be candidates for postponement, nothing compares to some of the more historic late […]

Throwback Thursday

During this month back in 1959, Bangor’s most recognized landmark was prominently installed on Main Street in front of the then new Auditorium and Civic Center. Standing 37 feet tall and weighing over a ton, this legendary folk hero looked proudly upon the Queen City as the landscape surrounding him has changed over the last 55 years. […]

Throwback Thursday

Last week I highlighted the great lost tradition of Winter Carnival at the University of Maine and with the snow still flying I figured another winter throwback was in order. Current students and recent alumni looking to go skiing are probably familiar with that 2-1/2 hour drive to Sugarloaf, the closest major ski resort to the campus. […]

Throwback Thursday

Winter on the UMaine campus holds a special memory for all students for uniquely different reasons. Maybe it was the tears freezing in your eyes as you walked across the mall towards the Union during a snow storm. Perhaps it was attempting to dig your car out from the Hilltop Lot after a big storm using only a serving tray from […]

Throwback Thursday

The University of Maine Men’s Basketball team picked up just their fourth win of the season last night with a 68-60 victory at UNH. While the players continue to give it their all day-in and day-out, real results have been a long time coming. Our sports contributor, Brian MacLeod, suggested in his article this week that head […]

Throwback Thursday

For many former Black Bears, Old Town was just another living option besides campus or Orono proper. It offered little to no night life, take-out food, and the stench of the paper mill. More recently Old Town has seen a revitalization with additional businesses and restaurants being added along Main Street. 10 North Main, the […]

With the University of Maine Hockey team beginning their push into Hockey East regular season play, thousands of fans will pack Alfond Arena on the Orono campus in the coming weeks and months to cheer our boys onto victory (and perhaps the playoffs). And while the Black Bears enjoy one of the best home rink […]

Throwback Thursday

Finals are nearly over and many of you will be packing up and heading out of Orono this week. While most of you will travel by car others will go by bus, train, or plane to get back to your families for holiday break. But did you know that a century ago almost all of UMaine’s students that […]

Throwback Thursday

Expectations for the Black Bear Football team going into the 2013 season were few to none according to various media sources and coaches polls. Instead of bowing to popular opinion, Maine went on to have a 10 win season and captured their first outright Colonial Athletic Association title. Furthermore the team was awarded a home playoff game […]

Throwback Thursday

On Saturday the Black Bears football team wrapped up their first outright conference championship in almost 50 years with a 41-0 pounding over Rhode Island. With the victory the team secured the Colonial Athletic Conference title along with an automatic birth in the FCS playoffs; a success our own Brian MacLeod predicted back at the beginning […]
