Director of ticket sales at Maine

He sure isn't selling many tickets to our football games. He must have sucked at his previous job as well.

I think a lot of ADs have that or a similar position on their resumes at one time or another in their careers.

Butch Davis generates his own ticket sales.

The Onus is on Butch. He has to contact the admin and convince them to fire Al, like only Butch can.

All else has failed, Butch must intervene.

Neither Davis nor his agent are going to do that. They may reach out and let the administration know that if the position becomes available they would be interested, but that's about it.
 
I respect what Blake did at Maine and he would be a good hire if we were a hockey school and he had some authority to make decisions more important than which pencil he should use on a given day, but he has zero background in football. We need an AD like Sam Jankovich who actually understands football and is empowered to actually make decisions and demand greatness from our coaches.

I'm just as ****ed as everOne else but let's not just start throwing stuff out there. He was the athletic director for 5 years at Maine.


James came to UM after spending seven years the University of Maine, where he first served as Senior Associate Athletic Director before serving as Director of Athletics from July 2005 to September 2010. As Senior Associate AD, his primary responsibilities focused on marketing, ticketing, retail operations, athletic development along with men's and women's track and field, cross country, men's soccer, men's basketball and baseball.

During his tenure at Maine, athletics experienced tremendous success, including three trips to the Frozen Four for the men's ice hockey program and NCAA playoff berths for football, baseball (two), women's basketball and softball. Additionally, James implemented a comprehensive $17 million facility improvement plan, which included an indoor practice facility and numerous other facility upgrades and renovations. Academically, the program flourished, earning the conference academic cup twice and maintaining better than a 3.0 GPA.

I actually just got negged for posting a fact and a quote straight from the UM athletic site.

Not taking Blake's side or anything. Just posting facts are ****ing people off now.

Note the final line:

He won the academic cup.

For some reason, at the 48th best school in the country, which isnt even top 6 academically in its own conference, is OBSESSED with the academic status of its athletes. It's the only thing they care about, and it makes no sense at all.
 
Ever been to Maine? The people are off. Something ain't right up there. Between the accents and the proximity to the weirdo region of Canada we should have known better.

I've been there many times. There are a lot of people in Maine who remind me of Deliverance kids.
 
What if I told U:

The U is run by

- Maine ticket director
-Temple coaching staff
-FIU offensive coordinator
- HS operations guys

Combine West Virginia with New Hampshire and add a coastline.

That is spot on. There are a lot of whackos in the more rural parts of NH too.
