Maine Fans, introduce yourselves

[TravelingPanther]

Here's a thread for Maine fans to introduce themselves to our board. They are MUCH better than Delaware fans.

Thanks for the invite, Rob. Looking forward to a great game.

Great to see you guys on board. How many fans can we expect to make the trip? Did you think you were out with the loss yesterday?

Re: Maine Fans, introduce yourselves

The loss to UNH (and what a game in the snow, by the way!) had many of us convinced it was over. I knew the post-season was slim, but I wasn't going to bank on slim. To go from 4-7 last year to this is quite pleasing.

Due to the distance, don't look for a large Maine contingent. It will be kept to players' families, I'm sure. I see that six of your home contests were televised this year, so I'm certain someone here will pick up the feed.

Our local cable companies usually try to televise the games. So maybe some local Maine stations can grab the feed.

Personally, I'd almost like to have the game NOT be picked up for TV, as that might hurt attendance, given the holiday weekend and all.

If I remember correctly, last year the game wasn't announced as televised until the game was almost sold out. I dont know if they will televise it unless the Dome is pretty full.

Can CFU show it since ESPN and the NCAA are controlling stuff?

Re: Maine Fans, introduce yourselves

CFU and Mediacom were both able to show the UNH game last year...

Re: Maine Fans, introduce yourselves

The schedule page at unipanthers.com says TV-TBA

Re: Maine Fans, introduce yourselves

It would be nice if this game could get on TV this weekend somehow. I'll be in Sioux Falls with a work event. I'm wondering if I can get 1540 AM out that way?

You lose it about Emmetsburg on a good day.


I grew up 40 minutes from Sioux Falls, and take HWY 18 home. On a good day I can pull it through Emmetsburg on my way home. Most days I lose it about Clear Lake.

There is also a lot of radio signals flying through Sioux Falls, I think they have around 10-15 stations based out of Sioux Falls, and a lot more AM stations than this part of Iowa.

The network is in NW IA. Check the 1540am or UNI website for listing of affiliates out in God's country.

Re: Maine Fans, introduce yourselves

I haven't heard anyone call it "God's country" in quite a while. I got all kinds of flack my freshman year because that is where I am from.

Re: Maine Fans, introduce yourselves

I hear 1540 pretty well here in sioux city with a BIG dipole. Nothing portable is gonna work.

2317...I'm in Spencer (and a little west of there) quite a bit and 1540 comes in really well there, so you might get lucky and pick it up out there.
