New Terps athletic director Kevin Anderson wants to curb profanity at Maryland home games - The Sun
Sigh. I'm torn on this. On one hand, I want the students to be students. The profanity is occasionally hilarious and a big reason why it's so hard for other teams to play at Maryland. To be frank, I don't mind a lot of the things that fans do, even the occasional "**** Duke" chant.
That said, they do often come off as classless. I'm not sure how much that matters to most, but Anderson was the AD at Army, so I'm guessing it's a big deal to him.
Regardless, isn't this just kind of a pointless exercise? I mean, are Maryland fans all of a sudden going to stop chanting R&RPTII and saying "**** _____"? Doubtful. Come on, these people semi-violently riot after winning a game.

So, Uh, Maryland Got Two Coaches' Poll Votes
There's all kinds of stupid up in this poll, most notably Oregon State not being in, but how did Maryland get two votes?
Regardless: Woo, we're #33!
Greg Lewis Visits Rutgers, Seems to Like It
Unless the staff feels mega-confident about Adjehi Baru and Desmond Hubert, offer Lewis now. Both Baru and Hubert seem to have higher ceilings and could make an earlier impact, but Lewis has a high floor, would help with Baltimore relationships, and is a lot better than some of the players Maryland's brought in the past few years in terms of rankings. Like I said, unless Hubert and Baru are some sort of locks, just take Lewis now.
