Screw Maryland

I've started to see some people bemoan the end of the Duke-Maryland rivalry as the Terps travel to Cameron on Saturday.

You know what? Screw Maryland. I hope Duke absolutely runs them off the court and Jabari Parker is catching alley-oops up 50 with less than a minute left.

Maryland, despite winning a national title in basketball in 2002 and somehow making a BCS game still couldn't turn a profit so they turned to the B1G and their golden goose, the B1G TV Network, home of the largest collection of idiots talking sports on TV, an AV club-level unit.

So, a school that couldn't compete in football in the freaking ACC and whined incessantly about how unfair the league is in favor of Tobacco Road is going to add road trips to Minnesota and Nebraska and try and compete in football against schools that actually try and win football games.

And you're trading regional rivalries in basketball for what? Rutgers? Penn State? All because your leaders were too incompetent to run a financially solvent athletic deepartment.

So, enjoy your dollars and recruiting in the midwest where people are leaving in droves. The ACC will do just fine with Louisville, Syracuse, Notre Dame & Pitt. Have fun adding Rutgers to your schedule instead and traveling to Iowa in February.
