M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D

This season of Maryland basketball has to be the most exciting season I have been fortunate enough to witness and be a fan of in any sport. This even tops the Redskins season when we ran off 5 straight after Sean Taylor's passing to make the playoffs. We started off the season playing mediocre basketball but these past few weeks have been absolutely amazing. That Georgia Tech game when Cliff Tucker hit the game winner was so ridiculously sick. Then avenging our early season loss to Clemson. Followed by the DOUBLE OVERTIME game against Virginia Tech and of course the most recent victory against #4 Duke.

I was fortunate enough to watch 2 of those games with close friends which makes watching games that much more exciting. Last game we just all kept screaming "WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG????" especially that last shot Grevis made which more or less sealed the game putting us up by 4. I am extremely excited to watch us play in the ACC tournament and then the NCAA tournament.

So after the Duke game last night, all of us decided to go to Route 1 to see the riot. I still use my crutches as support so I didn't go to close. At one point, two cops with shields and sticks were walkin torwards the group of people I was around and everyone started running. I thought I was going to get beat so I started crutching for my life. Luckily the cops started walkin back so all the excitement was over nothing. Michael Wilbon talked about Maryland winning today on PTI and said the rioting is ridiculous and unnecessary and it happens far too often at Maryland. I think rioting can be fun and is ok to a certain degree but setting things on fire is way to extreme, 20 some kids got arrested and who knows how many got beaten and maced is completely unnecessary.

Once I got home from watching the game, I went online to ESPN hoping to see something exciting and seeing Maryland getting recognition on the homepage brought a smile to my face. LETS GOOOOOOOOO MARYLANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
