That brings up a question in my mind (which has probably been answered
at least once during my 4 years on the list):  Since games on this tour
are exhibitions (and don't count towards Maine's NC$$ record), can
"red shirted" players participate without affecting their eligibility?
Since most teams only play 1 or 2 exhibitions a year, it normally wouldn't
be a big deal, but a case like this is quite a bit different.
