We wuz robbed. Here's what ESPN has to say:
"Maryland: The loss of Chris McCray at midseason really defused the Terps. They struggled down the stretch, winning only five of their final 13 games, with no real quality wins in that stretch."
Yes, that's true. But, we had (if I'm right) the 11th hardest schedule in all of college hoops, and we finished with 19 wins and an 8-8 ACC record. Tell me how, even with a shaky season and the loss of a captain, we aren't a top-64 team.
I told you ACC expansion was going to fuck UMD. No more bowl games, ever, and now we play enough powerhouse teams every year that we'll be lucky to see the NCAAs again.
Of course, you can go ahead and order 2006 NCAA tournament tickets through the Terrapin Club if you want. If I buy a ticket to an event, is someone then legally obligated to put on said event? Quick, everyone order tournament tickets.
And yes we deserved it more than FSU, though they were a game ahead of us in ACC play. They didn't play anybody, got lucky beating Duke (shit, even WE beat Duke once a year), got fucking hammered in the ACC tourney, and all their fans do that stupid indian chant. That alone disqualifies them. Fags.
Posted by Chris at March 12, 2006 07:32 PMwell...3 of those ACC wins were vs. GT

Posted by: Judy at March 13, 2006 01:16 PMShut up, whore!
Posted by: Rick at March 13, 2006 01:24 PMdon't call judy a whore. we didn't have to endure villa-no-fun during our schooling, why not endure it now?
Posted by: michelle at March 13, 2006 02:07 PMI'm with Rick on this.
Oh Rick, I wish I could quit you.
Posted by: Chris at March 13, 2006 02:49 PMChris, you can have him. "Whore" and "Villa No Fun"- I'm glad to see Maryland alums are capable of such creative thinking.
Posted by: Judy at March 13, 2006 03:46 PMWow Judy, Michelle defends you and then you rip her. I guess there's no solidarity amongst women.
Posted by: Mike at March 13, 2006 04:09 PMI would call it a little dig due to the No Fun comment. I love you Michelle! Enjoy the excitement of Philly when Villanova wins! And Rick, I thought you would just be happy I'm reading this page. Final thought- I'm in an NCAA pool, and two guys I work with who know far more about this than I ever will put Villanova to win. Giggidty. Anyone else who wants to jump in, let me know. It's $15.
Posted by: Judy at March 13, 2006 04:27 PMCreative thinking. Right. You're the goddamn Wildc4ts. You really reached deep into the mascot guidebook for that one, 'Nova.
Why wouldn't the spam filter let "felines" through?
We're all kinds of creative. Redick-ulous (ly gay), getting Rock 'n Roll Pt. II banned from sports, throwing water bottles, and, lest we forget, we are an evil carniverous turtle. What now.
'Nova has an easy bracket, but they won't make it to the Final Four, because I am making use of my Bad HooDoo skills. I'm gonna wiggle my fingers, chant, and make a mean face, thereby jinxing the Wildc4ts. If necessary, a chicken (and some avocados) will be sacrificed in the form of a fattty burrito. When OSU beats them, you'll just have to be content crying yourself to sleep on your mountain of designer handbags in your beautiful waterfront home. I'll be drinking cheap beer alone in a cold, dark apartment. For that one moment, you will taste my misery Judy.
/kidding...I'm not miserable.

Heh, I didn't even write that, I was on a plane at 1:30 today (gotta love the anonymous commenting system we have here on TT). But it's funny so I'm keeping it up.
Ned: Who are we?
All: The Wildc4ts!
Ned: Who are we gonna beat?
All: The Wildc4ts!
(jesus, why can't I write the word "c at"? I have no idea why that's an offensive term. I'll work on it)
Posted by: Rick at March 13, 2006 07:44 PMObviously, the Interweb gods were smiting you for your jealousy. Seriously, though, I don't think we have an easy bracket. The only thing I fear right now is Boston College.
Posted by: Judy at March 13, 2006 09:27 PMJesus Rick, you got Judy talking about Bracketology and saying "interweb?" Either she spends way too much time at Skyrock (which, granted, isn't very much time at all) or she's a lot cooler than you always said she was. If I find out you two have been shooting amateur porn, I'll be fully impressed.
And by "find out," I mean, naturally, "get a bittorrent link emailed to me" or "find an anonymous DVD in my mailbox." I mean, you're already Admiral Nelson...it's obvious that you're only a "seaman" pun and a DV cam away from starting a production company.

Posted by: at March 14, 2006 10:02 PMTo whomever keeps anonymously posting, trying to get Rick in trouble: Your ideas are interesting to me and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Posted by: Chris at March 14, 2006 11:31 PMI though it would be obvious who posted the 'whore' comment. *cough*
Just jokes Judy. Rick loves cock.
