So, is this UNH's way to throw a nerve shot at MAINE and thier fans a week before the
finals, to say Shawn might go to ZooMass?!?!  I seriously doubt that Shawn would move for
the money, after all with his expertise he could really go anywhere.  I don't see him
leaving MAINE until he retires.   GO MAINE
