PrintThere has been a lot said about the Military Bowl - to attend or not attend; why spend $90 on a ticket; why did we get screwed in the selection process? I could go on and on. The main issue is and will continue to be that fans didn't come out in droves to Byrd this year to support this team. And if we don't make it to the ACC title game next year, we better show support at this game or bowls are going to continue to pass us over and the same thing could happen again.

I'm definitely going to try to attend. Heck, maybe we could do a Testudo Times meet-up and tailgate? But if you REALLY want people to attend, DON'T SCHEDULE THIS FREAKING GAME AT 2:30 ON A WEDNESDAY! And why are tickets for this more expensive than most of the other ACC Bowl games?

Great piece, as always, by Patrick Stevens about why spending $90 for the Military Bowl isn't that big a deal, had you been willing to drive/fly down to FL for a warm-weather bowl.

Great piece by Bob Molinaro of the Virginian-Pilot, talking about how stupid the college bowl system is. Here is his take on MD:
When it comes to one ACC bowl team, I don't know whether to extend congratulations or condolences. On Dec. 29, Maryland plays East Carolina in the Military Bowl at RFK Stadium, just a hop, skip and pistol shot from the Terps' College Park campus. Busing across town to a bowl game is every boy's dream, isn't it?

More on the Baru commitment. For the record, I don't think Bobby Cremins did anything wrong here.
Someone had asked this question previously and I just saw Patrick Stevens answered it...

OMG, look at that pic, we’ve found another coach who is bigger than Ralph. Ralph actually looks slimmer….Holy Crap.
Urban Myer out at Florida
Remember how good he was at Utah. Ralph bleeds red I’m glad we have him. Next Year! Go TERPS!

He did the same thing last year
And was back before spring ball. I almost garauntee he will be their coach next season. Florida had a bad year, Urban isn’t feeling great, but come spring time he will be back at UF.
Curious timing with Meyer
He steps down just as….Josh McDaniel fired in Denver….where Tim Tebow is on the roster…
i got my tickets today!
Go terps. What’s better than being outside at a depressed old stadium in the northeast in late december? NOTHING!

Hope you get one of those sunny late December days in the low 50's
Since we’ll be out of town, my wife and I donated a couple of tickets. We regret not being at the NCS record-setting game but knew we couldn’t be at this game. This will not only be the last chance to see Alex, Antwine, Adian, Da Rel, et al play as Terps, it may be the last chance to see DOB throwing to Torrey and Kenny roaming the backfield. Add to that the benefit the game provides to the USO. You only have to go to BWI or Dulles to see the support they give to soldiers and marines being deployed or returning from deployment. Thanks for being there!

Beck
Am I the only one that thinks this guy is a clown for semi-threatening our fan base that will probably have us fall to them again some time soon? I understand it’s his job to promote selling tickets as much as possible but how about making it cheaper to go or not at 2:30 on a Wed. Then again the 2:30 time allows you tailgate in daylight which is certianly a plus at RFK
Road trippin it to the game
and I hope RF sumos the ecu coach at half time

Maryland kicks NCS's butt on the field but O'Brien thinks his team deserves to be in a bowl game because they have more fans.
What kind of football coach is O’Brien? Losing a major game to another team means something to most coaches. Why play the games if its a popularity contest?
Its hard for me to believe but Cremins is a damn cheat
He acknowledges that Branin isn’t good enough to play at CoC so he wouldn’t have a scholarship without Baru. The only way Cremins might have put some lipstick on this pig is if he had signed Branin first and some time elapsed before he signed Baru. But, Cremins admits they were a package deal. Its quid pro quo. It doesn’t matter that its not a car, cash, or some other payment. If Branin’s father was shopping the two as a package, that would account for the absence of other offers. What makes this worse is that the CoC had to agree to these signings. I hope some other coaches will eventually provide details about the recruiting process. I’d really like to hear what GW has to say.
