Maryland is ready to face Ohio State. They sold out their stadium for the first time since 2008, no mean feat for a noon game. They're planning to Red Out the Buckeyes, a competitive (if futile) gesture. Per OSU athletic director Gene Smith, the Maryland athletic department's hospitality even extends to pastry.

And they even flattered the university with the all-important "the"! So long as the cake isn't Old Bay seasoning-flavored, the only way the Terps could be more gracious is if they provided Maryland-themed drinks to wash it down.
