Saturday Skull Session: Get Dumped Then, Maryland

Well, well, well... We meet again, Maryland. I don't even know how to insult these people other than to bash them for eating garbage trawled out of the sea (aka "seafood"). 

A friend of mine moved to Maryland, more specifically the suburbs of DC. He told me I was no longer allowed to complain about traffic as if he wanted a medal for being dumb enough to move to an area with constant gridlock traffic. He's no longer my friend.

This all without mentioning Maryland's football team. And frankly, what's there to mention? Their best player is a punt returner. As a Browns fan, let's just say it's not a recipe for success. 

There's a reason why the Terrapins were slotted into the Homecoming slot all those years ago. Even then, Ohio State elders figured they would be bad enough to deliver a win.

And here we are, with Maryland listing three QBs as potential starters its coach on the verge getting sacked. Some might say this clubbing was destiny.


Here's today's non-Ohio State slate, featuring a potential #USMNT nightcap:

TIME (ET) GAME FAVORITE TELEVISION
12:00 ILLINOIS at No. 23 IOWA IA (-11) ESPN2
12:00 No. 10 OKLAHOMA at TEXAS OU (-17) ABC
3:30 GEORGIA TECH at No. 6 CLEMSON CLEM (-7) ABC
3:30 No. 13 NORTHWESTERN at No. 18 MICHIGAN UM (-7) BTN
7:00 ARKANSAS at No. 8 ALABAMA BAMA (-16½) ESPN
7:00 No. 21 OKLAHOMA STATE at WEST VIRGINIA WVU (-6½) ESPN2
7:30 No. 3 TEXAS CHRISTIAN at KANSAS STATE TCU (-10) FOX
8:00 MIAMI (FL) at No. 12 FLORIDA STATE FSU (-7½) ABC
9:30 MEXICO at UNITED STATES OF AMERICA USA (4EVER) FOXS1
10:00 No. 23 CALIFORNIA at No. 5 UTAH UTES (-7½) ESPN

My (3-2) upset pick: Kansas State over Texas Christian. This will either look genius or will ingloriously crash-and-burn. Either way, I didn't have the heart to ride with Nerdwestern.

THE TERRAPIN DOSSIER. Here's everything you need to know about today's opponent, the fightin' Terrapins of Maryland:

 MEYER SPEAKS TO BTN. Here's Urban Meyer sitting down with BTN's Glen Mason for a chat:


Glen Mason can't even return an I-O, and this dude was a candidate to coach Ohio State? Not that I ever rued the day the university hired Tressel, but hearing that from Mason might be the icing on the cake. What he probably heard Woody's spirit whispering was, "You disgust me, Mason!"

#PERTINENTHANK. I hope Ohio State attacks Maryland with the aggression of Hank when he mauled Jesse:

Final prediction: 45-17.

THOSE WMDs. Voices of Chernobyl... A quick puzzle to tell whether you know what other people are thinking... Inside the world of AOL disc collecting... Murder on the Appalachian Trail... Not Your Father's Root Beer and its curious rise to national sensation... The Wesleyan Molly Bust.
