ORONO -- Members of the only Maine football team to play in a bowl game will be in Orono this month for a reunion and festivities to recognize their achievement.

Team members will be honored during a halftime ceremony at Maine's Sept. 13 game against Stony Brook game at Alfond Stadium.

During two days of festivities, the team will also play a round of golf, take a cruise on the Penobscot River and attend a banquet in its honor. About 50 team members are expected to attend.
