Here in Waterville, Maine, we have embraced being part of the great Northeastern wilderness. We take pride in our Outing and Woodsmen’s clubs, drive through blizzards to ski at Sugarloaf and even boast that our campus sits at the end of civilization. Having said that, sometimes we forget just how big Maine is.

A week ago, on February 2, the Colby men's basketball team was recognized in the d3hoops.com national poll as the 25th ranked school in all of NCAA Division III.

Football: Mules Thwart Bates Comeback; Final Score 34 to 27

Friday night lights at Colby

Last Friday, September 18, the football team played host to Bates College in a scrimmage under the lights of Seaverns Field at the Harold Alfond Complex. A fairly large crowd of students and local residents turned out to watch the Mules on a relatively cold September evening. For the average fan, the play on the field could have been mistaken for authentic game action. Seaverns Field, in its illuminated glory, seemed to conjure the seriousness of game atmosphere. Every block, every tackle, every pass was just that much bolder and brighter. It is clear why the new complex has received so many accolades. More important to the game-like feel was the attitude of the football team on the field.
