One thing is for certain, if your Athletic Department doesn't support
it, they definitely won't come.

The previous administration did a horrible job of supporting the Maine
women's ice hockey program.  The Orono crowd here seems really behind
Nero, so hopefully his "touch" will be given equally to all sports,
including the women's program (which incidently needs the Shawn Walsh
Center perhaps even more than the men's program does).
