More fuel for Redemption's FIRE

Jason Rothstein (the guy in the middle), at different times throughout the video mostly in the halfway region, rails against MD, ang talks about us with a disgusting, mocking attitude.

He says, among other things:

-that this is a typical Gary Williams team, one good player and a bunch of spare parts, which will get one win, and thats it

-he scoffs at Gary Parrish for mentioning MD in the same sentence as "Final Four", even though Gary Parrish says its not likely

-he adds in a deriding "if" as to whether the Terps will beat Houston

-etc..

I really wish we could get this video out to Greivis and Gary, because you know that this will fire our Terps up

On a side note, does anyone know whether we'll be able to wear our gold unis? I know that several teams do wear colored jerseys, but Im pretty sure thats only the case if its their primary. (a la Iowa in 2006)

Took awhile for me to find it

That link just takes you to the video page, but there are videos to choose from. Under the actual video player, go to the third page, and watch “Bracket Breakdown: Mid-West”.

Thanks for posting, aMo. Honestly, this is probably working in our favor.

Like the article in Bmore Sun (yes some people still read newspapers ;) said

This team thrives from no one believing in them, everyone wanting and expecting them to fail. I hope some “expert” picks us to lose in the first round. That is motivation.

In one game as a freshman at Miami, Wieters hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth to put the Yellow Jackets ahead, then pitched the bottom of the ninth for the save. On that day, the God nickname was bestowed. - Sports Illustrated

On that same page (via the video link), Steve Lappas picks Houston over Maryland. Honestly, I don’t care about these commentators. We know what Maryland’s capable of. We shouldn’t need any other reason to be pumped up other than the fact that we’re playing in the NCAA tournament. Let the Terps prove people wrong. I’m upset you gave so much attention to mohawk man. That’s exactly what he wants! I think we should just ignore these guys and let Greivis and crew prove them wrong. Because in the end, that’s the sweetest redemption.

Lappas

is an idiot who couldn’t coach his way out of a bathtub with no water in it. I went to UMass for my undergrad before UMD and watched him add fuel to the program as it was going down in flames. I wouldn’t take him seriously if he looked up and said anything more than “I’m an idiot”
