I hate Maryland. I'm so sick of losing to Maryland. Please beat their brains in.
I hope this team treats the Maryland game like they did to the Penn State game.
It doesn't matter. Pummel Terp.

Maryland and Northwestern at home this week. Have to take care of business.
Looking at the next eight games on the schedule, there is a real chance we can win all of them. This team gets on a huge roll starting Thursday
The upcoming eight games are HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, and HUGE. Big opportunity to stack a ton of wins. No doubt this stretch will be considered the "easy" part of the schedule entering the Maryland game. Going 8-0, 7-1, or even maybe 6-2 during this stretch will be a good result. Let's start it off will payback by beating the turtles and avenge our home lost to them last season.

Endorsed and multiplied. It's the only time we play them this season. I want another 20-30-point blowout. This time at home for once.
Can't let one loss turn into two. Before USC, I would be great about this one. That effort at home has me a bit rattled.
Hope our guys come out angry and with a message to send as a result of the Michigan State game. Hope Brad continues to light a fire under them.
For sure. We should go 7-1 in the next 8 at least. All starts on Thursday, one at a time

This...I'm hoping we're all transferring our anger to the team! So many talking heads believe we showed we are the most dangerous team in the Big Ten after this loss. That speaks volumes
There was also zero home environment in that game. Krush is back and the home court advantage is going to be a zillion times better.
Agreed. Really need to go at least 7-1 over the next 8, but 8-0 is more than doable. 6-2 won't cut it unless some chaos starts happening in the B1G.
This is a tricky one though. Maryland almost won at NW, Oregon, and Purdue. Need the crowd to bring the noise from the jump.
We need to brush off the stink of the MSU game and get back to partying!
I’ll be there screaming my genitals into my abdomen.
It's our every other game blowout lol. Tough luck Maryland.

Between the twin motivations of needing a “get right” game vs. Maryland and getting revenge vs. Northwestern, I will be slightly disappointed if we can’t get two extremely engaged efforts this week that lead to two double digit victories.
I wouldn't put Maryland in the "get right" category. They have a ton of talent, but haven't been able to close games out on the road. We're going to have to play really well to win that game.
Cant afford to look ahead to anyone at this point. Just need to beat the team in front of you and the Big10 has a bunch of solid teams.
That being said. Rutgers scares me despite how mediocre they have been. They have two studs and I feel like we struggle to defend guys like Harper and Bailey.
