I think all pertinent info regarding the Black Bears should be posted
here; not just the "good stuff".  Many of us living away from Orono have
no other way of receiving this info.  After reading the box scores some
of us may wonder why a certain player didnt score or play and it may be
due to injury.  Without that info coming from this discussion list we
would have no way of knowing.
