These Aren't Your Grandmother's Maine Black Bears

These are the Maine Black Bears of a NEW generation! (play bending guitar riff!!!)

We may have underestimated the courtesy 1-AA opponent on our football schedule this season.  I know that the Carrier Dome is in fact an insular, roofed stadium.  So then I also know that lightening cannot strike from the sky and hit the field, causing unforeseen damage and destruction.  But what if someone figured out a loophole.  What if someone figured out how to bring electricity INSIDE the Dome with them? 

Judging by the new Maine Black Bears marketing material, that loophole may have just been found.

IT'S A BEAR THAT SHOOTS ELECTRICITY OUT OF ITS MOUTH!!!  RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!

EDSBS is correct is pointing out that, quite simply, this spells doom for all 1-A teams in Maine's path:

If beating Mississippi State in 2005 wasn’t entertaining enough, now their mascot is capable of regurgitating a billion volts of pure electricity at their opponents. Your fisticuffs are useless in the face of the Ursine Puking Zeus-cot, Oregon Duck!

Let's just hope that those shock therapy experiments they've been running on Otto are proving fruitful.  Up the voltage!
