B1G Hoop Thoughts
HOOPS
It's
fun being a Terps hoop fan these days. Been a long time. Men's
team
ranked 8th, women 7th. Especially nice since the B1G
sportswriters picked the
men to finish 10th. Anyway, the comment of the week comes from
the
Michigan State Spartans game thread during their blow-out
loss.
Maryland
and Rutgers
They’re
like those kids that your mom made you invite to your birthday party.
You have no animosity towards them but you wish they’d just go home.
The
thing is, I completely understand. To this very day I think taking FSU
and Georgia Tech into the ACC screwed it up. Never did think of
them, and those who followed,
as anything but outsiders. It will be 50 years before the Terps
are
accepted in the B1G.
While I'm at it, here's a
comment from the Terps board that
corresponds with my thoughts about ACC-B1G refs.
Finally. Yes, I am concerned about Thursday's
game at Indiana. They look very Terpish to me.
I own every bond film from the original Casino Royale starring Barry Nelson to the last Craig movie with the exception of the Brosnan titles.
Nelson, Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton and Craig all played the part of James Bond with style and each had their own strengths and weaknesses.
The Remington Steele Bond movies were far too cartoonish and flamboyant. I do not know who made the mistake of picking Brosnan, but it was like casting Pee Wee Herman as the Terminator!
It won't be 50 years. The Michigan blogs I read welcomed Maryland. You're a great fit for the conference already one of us. Rutgers was a "Huh? Why?" but they'll be accepted soon. Nebraska's only been there a short while and they're already one of us (one of us... one of us... gooble gobble gooble gobble).
Crap! Clicked on the wrong place. I have to remember that old quote from Ernest Hemingay "Write drunk, proof read sober." My mistake was in writing sober!

Will do a cut and paste in the proper place.
Who gives a crap? It's basketball. The B1G is a football conference.
ReplyDeleteO-H!
I-O!
"The B1G is a football conference."
ReplyDeleteYes, Ralphie, but with aspirations of competing with the ACC. That's why they wanted the Terps so badly. Erm, goodly.
Rog, whatever you need to tell yourself to make it through the night.
ReplyDeleteLeonard, it's "Write Drunk, Edit Sober".
Ralph, you're right!
