Maryland Owns All of Humanity!
By Chris Mottram | December 31, 2008
The Terps participated in the Humanitarian Bowl yesterday, played in Boise, Idaho, on a blue field at 4:30 in the afternoon. So, yeah, as you can tell, their bowl game was kind of a big deal. And they won it, despite seven of their players, including All-ACC running back Da’Rel Scott, being benched for the first half for curfew violations the night before. Which of course begs the question: What the hell is there to do in Idaho that would lure them to sneak out of their hotel room? Thank goodness they didn’t make it to the Orange Bowl in Miami. They may not have been able to field an entire team.
Once Scott finally got into the game, he made the most of it, rushing for 174 yards and two TDs on just 14 carries. The third best team in the WAC just can’t hang with the Terps.

How lame is it to break curfew hanging out with Napolean Dynamite?

A Humanitarian Bowl win is more exciting than anything MD basketball is gonna do this year. I went to the game last night and the loudest cheer was when the mystery Asian player they have dunked on a breakaway. It was really tremendous, the crowd gave him a standing ovation.

I believe the curfew violation involved tubing on a non-tubing slope. So there’s the answer to the question, “What’s the only thing to do in Boise?”

Not sure if anyone saw ESPN run a 15 minute love letter to Joe Paterno and Penn State during halftime of the game. Thanks ESPN for giving more air time to a major football program already full of Maryland recruits during a UMD game.

Especially when he’s usually handing the ball off to you.
“Hey Da’Rell, wanna take our bikes off some sweet jumps?”

I believe the young man in the above photograph is actually saying, “Soylent Green is people!”
