An Ugly Viewing Experience

Of course, I'm referring to being forced to listen to that sycophant Dick Vitale while he fellates the Durham-based college basketball program, its coach, players, alumni, and fans, for the entirety of the Terps game this evening. See, I can't mute the TV and turn on Johnny Holliday because we have DirecTV, and there's a 1-2 second delay between the terrestrial radio signal and the satellite TV signal. Next time, I'm hitting mute and cranking up some tunes on the stereo. Thankfully, they only play the Durhams two, maybe three times per year.

As for the game? Not much left to say. Twenty-nine turnovers and six assists will usually lose, I don't care who you're playing. I'm starting to doubt that Gary will stick with D.J. Strawberry as his starting PG for the entire season (1 assist, 5 TOs from D.J. in the game).

Sometimes that's all it takes, one good player like Douby, to get the ball rolling. Joe Smith did that for MD, although he wasn't alone in that he had Keith Booth and Johnny Rhodes to help him out.

I'm sure glad MD isn't in the Big East, it is brutal there with the new teams. It was already bad enough with programs like UConn, Syracuse, WVU (recently), Villanova, then you add Louisville, Cincy, Marquette - ugh.
