Born in 1892 in Orono, the Maine Black Bears have carved a tough FCS identity. The program owns Yankee Conference and CAA titles and in 2018 charged to the national semifinals, the deepest postseason run in school history. Longtime head coach Jack Cosgrove laid the foundation, while alums like Patrick Ricard and Mike DeVito showcase the Black Bear pipeline. Each fall the Border Battle vs New Hampshire for the Brice-Cowell Musket animates the schedule; that trophy chase delivers edge-of-seat finishes. Home days at Morse Field at Harold Alfond Sports Stadium feel uniquely Maine: crisp air, tailgates among the pines, the Pride of Maine Black Bear Marching Band setting the tempo, and an intimate bowl that puts you on top of the action. Expect blue-collar energy, loud student sections, and real home-field bite.
