I happen to be a BU fan who has gone on record in posts to hockey-l
in defense of Maine against NC$$ nonsense. I even did this at the end
of last season when a few Maine fans started this same crap. Is this
going to be an annual event? Just to refresh the memories of those
who wrongly attribute anti-Maine attitudes to ALL BU fans ...

Boy, I was really bashing the heck out of Maine. How could I have
been so biased? And BTW I can think of several other BU folks on
the list who could point to similar records of giving Maine fair
treatment. How about the same courtesy, guys?
