Almost There

Still trying to collect my thoughts. I've re-watched the last 20 minutes and I'm still not entirely sure how that all happened. Owen Spencer's fourth down touchdown grab will live on forever. And T.J. Graham, dude, we're all very sorry.

One more, everybody. One more. I LOVE EVERYONE.

i heart Tom OBrien. he embraces the rivalry.

four coaches who likewise did so are: Sloan, Robinson, Yow, and Lowe. it took Valvano a while to come around despite the wearing of the red coat in the big game. while Robinson didn’t fare well as a coach, he didn’t do too bad against UNC. Amato should have embraced the rivalry, but FSU was more important to him and his players from Florida.
Nate deserves the Butkus award. won’t get it because he is from State.
time to let Wilson lose. no more protecting him from getting hurt when running. the championship is at stake.
my thoughts, if Maryland beats FSU State most likely will not beat them in College Park.

5-2 is the right record

We should’ve beaten Clemson and Va Tech, should’ve lost to F$U and unc-ch. But it all worked out for the best. :)

This is the kind of game we were on the OTHER end of countless times in the Amato era, particularly the last few years. Dominate every aspect of a game except the scoreboard. I remember a stat at one point where we’d outgained something like 11 or 13 straight opponents, but we had a losing record during that stretch.

On the flip side, when you rush for 100 yards and hold your opponent to negative yardage, which we did, you deserve to win.

Gritty, gritty win – just did what it took to get it done – nothing sexy, just effective.

Now on to UMd, and I’m watching them right now. They look awfully damn good, guys (besides their hideous unis with the dumb-ass motivational words on the back instead of names). But let’s enjoy today and worry about that next week. Really hoping F$U takes care of them so UMd has less to play for next week.

They’ll be tough, assuming they still want to play now that they’re out. Like their QB. Though the OL has been devastated by injury, and the defense is nothing special.

Best thing about them losing tonight is the crowd will be about 15k smaller next week.
