Coach Cosgrove on WJAB With Chris Sedenka

Our good friend (and contributor) Chris Sedenka with Maine Black Bears Head Coach Jack Cosgrove.

UMaine Loses QB

UMaine Quarterback Adam Farkes is leaving the program for personal reasons. That’s according to the Portland Press Herald, who site a University Press Statement.

Farkes started the 2008 year as the starter, before injuring his shoulder in October in a win against Delaware. He had 9 TD’s and 6 picks before the season-ending injury. There was a very good chance he would be the starter in 2009.

Mike Brusko is the obvious choice to be next season’s number one. He led the Bears into the playoffs following Farkes‘ injury. He doesn’t have the best arm, but is a serious competitor.

It may also give Chris Treister a chance. Treister, who played at Portland High, has three more years of eligibility, and will get a true opportunity if Brusko struggles in the pocket. Don’t count out Jack Cosgrove recruiting a young athlete as well.

Umaine DT Raibonne Charles

I interviewed former Windham High School standout and current UMaine Black Bear defensive tackle Raibonne Charles on the Sports Vortex earlier this week (the feature piece I wrote will be in the Windham Independent this week, and I might even post it on here). We talked about red-shirting, the difference between high school and college, and the challenges of being a student-athlete. The interview can be listened to right here, and it makes me glad to know that there are young men out there that still have desire and a strong work ethic. Enjoy!
