While I agree with this I'll still always have a soft spot for the Scheyer Face guy and their hatred of Duke.
Was DGL sick or hurt against MSU?
Watching the game last night, Donta Scott was a "MAYAN"!
Past ACC mentality of entitlement ?
Yes. I didn't want to be unkind by noting that their inferiority complex historically hasn't had to do merely with athletic competition but also [relative] academic quality, which, as you know, is a big status deal to many people in DC. TBF, though, the large gifts the university has gotten during the past 10-15 years and the dramatic increase in the quality of facilities (esp. the engineering school) and the honors college had made it a much better university. The UVa/Duke/UNC crowd in DC still looks down on it but most everyone I know whose kids have attended within the past several years have spoken highly of their experience.
It's incredibly impressive that it both manages to be far better than it used to be and yet still truly awful. I honestly feel bad for them.
This makes me love UMD....if the entitled, intellectually arrogant UVa/Puke/UNC crown in DC trash the turtles, then that makes me lean toward the turtles.
I think last year had less to do with coaching and more to do with personal. You have to remember last year was a real litmus test on the transfer portal. Underwood got it wrong and changed the type of guy he went after. Based on the results thus far he got it right this time.
If the season ended today, Underwood would have a real shot at winning national coach of the year
I haven't been to College Park, but I have a hard time believing it's strip could be worse than College Station.
I'd think it would be a Q assignment.
College Station has always sounded like my own personal heII so, yeah, it very well could be worse. College Park is basically a highway with three bars and a strip mall with a Chipotle. Plus, due to the lovely laws in Maryland, you can't buy beer in grocery stores. Though, to its credit, it does now have a few more ugly buildings on that highway. It's sad for a major East Coast institution that's right outside of a major city.
I haven't been to College Station but just visited it on Google Street View. If the strip is on University Avenue, then IMO it gives College Park a run for its money but exceeds it in beauty by a nose. Perhaps the lesson is that any town beginning with "College" is aesthetically doomed.
I went to Lubbock for a buddy's wedding. I asked the same question of a wedding guest - what's in Lubbock? His answer? "Miles and miles of miles and miles". He also said he could watch his dog run away for 3 days.
A Championship in the last 25 years means a lot more than a Championship in the 40s.
