Idiotic Maine Fans

For some reason this weekend, perhaps due to sheer boredom, I went to the UND-Maine women's hockey games. As per usual, I was singled out and harassed by security personnel. As per unusual, I did nothing to warrant such abuse. This was OK though and I took it all in stride, partially because of the entertainment Black Bear fans brought me.

Let's start out with Friday's game. I am waiting outside the arena for everyone's favorite one eyed sidekick, Schneider to show up. He was totally late and I suggest he try synchronizing his watch his next time, but that is neither here nor there. While impatiently waiting, a group of Maine fans walked by me. The first thing I noticed was the idiotic jerseys they were wearing and the utterly atrocious customization job that was done on them. I laughed at them in my mind. Finally One Eye shows up and after some shenanigans regarding how to obtain tickets, we go into the game. UND blows for the first period and it's boring. I question why I decided to come to this game. For the second period, Schneider and I go sit down, coincidentally relatively close to the Maine fans.

They are really into the game, which is more than I can say for pretty much anyone else there. It's a close game and I'm pretty bored. Finally in the third period excitement occurs. A Maine player goes on a breakaway. She doesn't score and then runs over the UND goalie. A penalty is called. This angers the Maine fans. They start chanting bad words. Schneider and I make fun of them. About a minute later, a face-off occurs in Maine's zone. I run up to the glass and yell "Hey! I check the goalie! It's legal now!". Maine fans are not amused. Schneider and I are though and that's all that matters. UND ends up "winning" the game in a shoot out. Why they are having a shootout for a non-conference game I don't know, but this is what happens.

Schneider and I agree that we need to come back on Saturday just to laugh at the idiot Maine fans and so we do. We arrive before them and as they are coming over to sit down I notice the guy who I assume to be their fearless leader is wearing sunglasses. Wearing sunglasses indoors is so lame. But there was something special about this guys sunglasses. They only had one lens in them. That's right, the right eye had no lens. What in the world? I took pictures of this goober with my camera phone, but they suck. Schneider and I laughed at this. How lame can you be? Why would you only have one lens in your sunglasses? Puzzling. A few minutes later, I noticed another guy in their group also had sunglasses. And he too only had one lens in the sunglasses. Maine fans are really strange.

Around this time was when I was harassed by security. Maine fans brought in air horns and started using them. This is evidently a big no-no. I was falsely accused and probably nearly kicked out because I wouldn't give up my air horn. It was entertaining though being yelled at for once when I had done nothing wrong.

This game also went to shoot out with Maine "winning". The highlight of this shootout was when the snooty nosed Maine fan yelled "Insufficient Funds!" at us when a UND player shot the puck off the pipe. Made no sense then and makes no sense now. It was entertaining though.

BTW, I'm taking back my take back when I said the Lamoureux Twins couldn't beat up PJ. We sat by them this weekend and they would totally own PJ.
