Friday Night Football
Virginia up on Maryland 7 - 0.
Michigan will have 100,000+ show up for a meaningless night game against a MAC team tomorrow. Meanwhile, half the stadium is empty for Maryland's night game against what used to be a main rival for them.
This is why they are never going to be the DMV recruiting juggernaut they think they deserve to be. Their support is a mile wide and an inch deep. Everyone wears Terps stuff around the area, but nobody can name a single starting player, much less come out for a night game.

Man, did Maryland kiss your girlfriend?
September 15th, 2023 at 7:29 PM ^
I hope Brian is watching this game because there was a really nice flea flicker to set up UVA’s touchdown.
Also, Maryland looks like ass so far. Henby is really good. The rest of the team? Not so much, st least not so far.
September 15th, 2023 at 10:32 PM ^
Watch a little more
September 15th, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
Early, but Virginia offense is rolling....with a freshmen QB....
September 15th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
Shit. 14-0 Virginia. I hope September Maryland isn't going to turn into November Maryland.
September 15th, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^
Maryland seems to not want to play until they're down two TDs.
September 15th, 2023 at 7:33 PM ^

Basketball season.
September 15th, 2023 at 7:34 PM ^
JJ is going to put up 50 on em. Pass defense, more like ass defense
September 16th, 2023 at 8:00 AM ^
JJ and the lads will be overtaking ass in late November. I'll come out for that one.
September 15th, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
Miami gets 43 people and they pull in 5 star after 5 star
September 15th, 2023 at 9:23 PM ^
you mean they get $-star after $-star
September 16th, 2023 at 5:58 AM ^
Is this 1998? The $ thing is stupid now
September 15th, 2023 at 7:45 PM ^
The yellow stripes on the Maryland uniforms are triggering my OCD. They must go. THEY MUST GO!!!
September 15th, 2023 at 7:51 PM ^
I got great seats for UM visiting Maryland in November...no need to shed too much light on their vacant seats.
September 15th, 2023 at 7:53 PM ^
Maryland's last 2 Friday night non-COVID home games (PSU 2019, Iowa 2021) didn't go so well.
They were outscored by a combined 110-14!!!! And that's with Iowa as one of the foes!
They actually did WIN their Friday night game (Minnesota) in the COVID year, in front of a paid attendance of 0. Maybe that's why their fans are staying away.
But TD Maryland, now 14-7.
September 15th, 2023 at 7:56 PM ^
Looks like Bama is benching Milroe for Tommy's boy, Tyler Buchner. Not a total surprise after Milroe was pretty mediocre against Texas.
Buchner might be better but he's not any good either IMO.
September 15th, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
Well, if you like mediocrity, you're going to love the Tyler Buckner experience.
September 15th, 2023 at 8:19 PM ^
Yeah, my unvarnished opinion is that Buchner sucks and that Bama might be in real trouble. Rees undoubtedly trusts him but this is a guy with only 123 career pass attempts and more INTs (8) than TDs (6).
September 15th, 2023 at 8:44 PM ^
Milroe beat him out for a reason. Buchner isn't a mystery. We saw what he... wasn't capable of when he played for (THW) ND under the very same OC.
September 15th, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
Maryland isn’t good because their offensive coordinator is Gattis
September 15th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
I often wonder if it was space’s fault, not speed
September 15th, 2023 at 8:08 PM ^
Wish I could’ve seen the pass going to the WR, but the obnoxious graphic got in the way. Seriously, fix this shit Fox
September 15th, 2023 at 9:18 PM ^
Noticed the same thing, mentioned it to my wife, who concurred.
September 15th, 2023 at 8:12 PM ^
According to the tv that was down 6
September 15th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Sweet sounds of Devin Gardner calling the Maryland Virginia Game.
Get well soon, Coach Howard!
September 15th, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
Gardner will also be calling the North Dakota @ Boise State game tomorrow, which has a 12 Noon ET (10 AM Mountain!) kick-off.
So, what chartered jet is transporting him from Maryland to Idaho? None, because he's in Charlotte, NC calling both games off the monitor. Kind of lame, but that is Fox Sports saving some money.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
I wondered why the calls from Collins seemed a little off. I'm not a fan of this method but I get it.
September 15th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
But you gotta appreciate the Maryland game day experience in College Park.

Play by play guy needs a sedative.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:03 PM ^
That was a great throw by Taulia. Not sure how he projects at the next level, but he’s got a good arm.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:06 PM ^
He plays much better playing sandlot ball than he does when he tries to stay in the pocket.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
He'll get killed in the NFL. Too much pointless running around trying to make a big play. That won't work at the next level.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
Damn what a drop by UVa there.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^
If Virginia was even remotely worth a shit they would be beating Maryland. Wide receiver just dropped a wide open deep ball, went right through his hands.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:20 PM ^
Taulia might be the worst scrambler I've seen. When takes sacks, he makes sure they're at least 10+ yards away from the line.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:36 PM ^
I have no idea how good Jack Tuttle is, but I'm wondering if the coaching staff should keep an eye on Virginia's QB as a possible trading deadline acquisition for backup QB. Hopefully he'll eliminate some freshman mistakes with a few more games under his belt.
Edit: Now that he's thrown 3 interceptions in...what? the blink of an eye?...maybe he needs at least a full season of experience before we consider trading for him.

what does this even mean?
September 15th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
Virginia is absolutely awful and looks every bit the 0-2 team they are. Maryland should be concerned, regardless of the outcome.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
I don’t know if Maryland can beat MSU at their place next week, they look like crap against a dreadful Virginia team
September 15th, 2023 at 9:57 PM ^
Eh, I think this week against Washington is going to show us that MSU's secondary is still dreadful. And while Maryland isn't Washington they have decent enough pieces catching the ball to take advantage of it if that is the case.
September 15th, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
They’ve basically scored in this one by a kickoff touchdown and short fields with 3 straight turnovers by the freshman quarterback. I don’t think MSU will be as gracious with the gifts. Maryland can beat them, but they can’t play like this and do it.
September 15th, 2023 at 9:46 PM ^
Holy hurdling Howard! Nice play!
September 15th, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
Both Gardner and this play by play guy sound like they downed 10 red bulls in the booth. Like chill out guys, lol.
September 15th, 2023 at 10:08 PM ^
I’d have to drink some of my favorite adult beverages to be able to enjoy this one. I lost interest at the beginning of the 4th and that was only because it was close, not because of the excellence on the field
September 15th, 2023 at 10:17 PM ^
Maryland went from 21 points to 42 in a hurry, mostly thanks to dummass plays from UVA. The Whoo's are better at basketball than they are at football.
September 15th, 2023 at 10:39 PM ^
Other than Venables (and it's debatable whether to even include him since he was already established at OU) is there a former Dabo-era Clemson coordinator that doesn't suck butt as a head coach?
September 15th, 2023 at 10:53 PM ^
B1G vs Future B1G volleyball on the Big Ten Network is fun.
September 15th, 2023 at 11:12 PM ^
Did nobody notice the Army offense tonight?
