NEW: FORUMS!

We have just launched our forums! A place where you can come to discuss your team, its players and league it plays in or just to discuss anything and everything about your favorite sports! You could even organize pickup games in our forums!

Like any new forum it will start off slow so we encourage all of you to visit often, start new threads (conversations) and join in existing discussions.

It is easy to get started. All you have to do is register a screen name (can be your real name or an alias, your choice!) and start posting! We ask that you keep in mind that the forums are open to all ages so please use appropriate language and content. We will remove inappropriate posts and ultimately ban anyone who consistently goes against the spirit of the site.

THE GREAT MAINE OUTDOORS

The great outdoors of Maine affords us opportunities we sometimes take for granted. Whether it is hiking our favorite mountain, swimming in the ocean or in one of Maine's many lakes or, for some, heading out into the wilderness on an annual hunting trip.

We are pleased to announce we have added a new section dedicated to outdoor sportsmen and their adventures. The first contribution is a new column called Field in the Field by David Field. David will periodically share his adventures with us. His first installment follows him on a great Maine tradition, the fall hunting trip.

We are looking for others who would share in this type of sport and want to share your stories with us too.

THE GREATEST GAME ON EARTH

October 12, 2007

I don’t think there is a high school athletic experience that can rival a Friday night football game. Even as a basketball guy, I would admit that the most fun I ever had was on the gridiron. There was always something exciting about the cool fall air, the blaring music on the loud speaker, and the huge crowds that fill most high school stadiums in Maine. I will never forget the experience of playing Biddeford at Waterhouse Field and having 4000 fans taunt us before each snap. They were so crazy back then. And it wasn’t just the varsity teams that Tiger fans went after. I once got heckled by an elderly Biddeford man after losing an eighth grade game at Waterhouse. I was walking to the bus with a friend and the man yelled, “Hey, why don’t you bring your freshmen team down here and we will beat them too.” It was intimidating, but I loved it. What I would do for just one more game. Read Column

2007 HOMECOMING

Fall is the greatest season of the year. The air gets crisp, apples need to be picked and the grass even smells better. Maybe my affection for fall sports, specifically football and soccer that has something to do with the last item. View Pictures
