ORONO, Maine - After the football games have been played, Bertha Kyeremeh reaches for her cubicle phone and calls the University of Maine linebacker who has become part of her family. She's told Arron Achey how proud of him she is, and how on cloud nine she is that Maine has won.

"I thank God," said Kyeremeh, a spiritual woman. "It is unimaginable what has happened with this team. Words cannot describe how I feel."

That Maine has danced with check time and again and won has made for a once-in-a-lifetime season of triumph.
