we also beat UMD in back to back super regionals in '14 and '15 to make the CWS (and also obviously then won it all in '15). a few clips for enjoyment, particularly UMD bringing in their best pitcher/closer in back to back games in '15 for us to beat them late in each game:

'14 game 3 (we obviously split the 1st two, then smoked them to make Omaha in game 3): Baseball Highlights - Maryland NCAA game 3 - YouTube
'15 game 1: Virginia vs. Maryland, 2015 (baseball) - YouTube
'15 game 2 (probably the most enjoyable): Virginia vs. Maryland, 2015 - RALLY TO OMAHA #2 - YouTube

and what the heck, for fun hereā€™s 2011 when we beat them for the lax title: 2011 NCAA Division 1 Lacrosse National Championship Game Highlights - Virginia Edges Maryland - YouTube

BIG got the DC market, UMD athletics got bailed out. I never worked with Yow, but I knew a lot of people who did. She was universally loathed. I couldnā€™t believe it when NC State hired her.

Yow is a name I had totally forgotten about until this thread. Know/worked with several people tied to UMD athletics and rarely did you hear a good thing about Yow. Everyone knew the BIG was a buyout option because UMD was cutting/preparing to cut a ton of programs if they didnā€™t get that check. How Yow was able to land another gig Iā€™ll never know.

My buddy had tickets to that 15 Super Regionals series, but he couldnā€™t go to the game 3 on Monday, so I grabbed them, drove down from DC for the evening, hit up the corner had dinner and watched the game. Good times.

The only thing wrong with that pic is it looks like that POS Rick Hartzell is holding the rock. Horrible official and lying scumbag. @DFresh11, your boy Willie D knows all about that.

Duke Edsall. He was a great ref. He had the great misfortune of having a last name that sounded similar to Hartzellā€™s. Folks used to get them confused. World of difference between their ability and demeanor though. Would love to know your thoughts on Froggy Paparo.

Yes! I typed ā€œEdzelā€ and deleted. He was a good dude

Paparo was just a bazar show off. I dont think he or Lenny ever saw the plays they made calls on. Crotty and Paparo got along. Jersey guys

Proud to say I dropped a jort wearing mullet sporting umd punk at Byrd while watching my boys. Needless to say he didnā€™t have a good afternoon even though we lost.

Maybe a generational thing but Birkenstocks have been the huge sandal shoe for the last few years.

Crazy that I still remember the names of so many refs from those days. Lenny Wirtz, Dick Paparo, Larry Rose and of course Ted Valentine.

No doubt
Fool was chirping the whole time
Then had the onions to throw a cup with ice my direction. I had been challenged and had enough alcohol to throw down. It was just a combination left jab then the haymaker overhand right, enough to frighten him and his turtle friend off
