If the Dook/UNC game from Wednesday was an "Instant Classic", I expect to see this game on ESPN Classic in upwards of 10 minutes...
Anyway, I was fortunate enough to be there. Yes, I know you all hate me. The place was absolutely ridiculous. Big ups to the band. They were there for Cold Pizza yesterday, Gameday this morning, and for the 9 pm game. Didn't miss a beat (da-dum-bump).
Seen and heard at Comcast tonight - I have no idea what was shown on TV:
- Walt Williams
- Tahj Holden
- Byron Mouton (sitting with Tahj Holden)
- Scott Van Pelt
- Steve Buschotti (Ravens owner) sitting with Brian Billick, sitting next to Cal Ripken Jr.
- Al Koken from 980
- Red Auerbach
- Derrick Lewis, former Terp
- Lamont Jordan. I heard he was up for Heisman
- I think I saw Wilbon
- The two dudes with signs prompting Rock n Roll Pt 2, very well coordinated. Held up the signs saying "duh-duh-duhhhh" and so on...
- Three guys with signs that said "WHO" "MIKE" "JONES"
- A giant, I mean GIANT sign with one side having this picture, the other with a picture of Sheldon Williams' head.
- At the start of one possesion, on the Jumbotron, they showed Redick who was inbouding the ball. Meanwhile, perfectly placed into the shot was a big screencaptured picture of him picking his nose on the bench. It was like it was planned.
- Howie Schwab from ESPN sitting next to Dick Vitale during the game - he is their stat/trivia guru.
- Lots of "Not our Rival" signs
- Sign behind the basket that said "We own Your House too"
- Student wall given posters to form a giant M. Pretty cool.
- Big sign "We are Maryland, You Can't Beat US"
- Lots and lots of old people cheering
- Duke sucking...
That is all. I am sad I couldn't spend the game with you all (seriously, ask Chad, I debated whether to go to this game or not), but hopefully we all enjoyed the game. And as always - GO TERPS!

Posted by: Pat at February 14, 2005 08:55 AMGood signs, especially the "We are Maryland, You Can't Beat US" and "We own Your House too" because it doesn't get any better than beating duke in cameron.
I am still giddy about the game. Or maybe I'm still drunk. Whatever.
