Probably unpopular opinion but I’m good with just one orange out a year… I just don’t have that much orange haha.

I do love when we have orange uniforms for sports though. Just don’t have a ton of fan gear.

You heard anything on injuries??

All jokes aside I agree. I rather they save the orange out for special occasions.

No nothing yet but maybe something tomorrow… should have an updated depth chart and Coach should be available for media. Depth chart probably won’t change much if there are no really serious injuries so a media session would potentially have some info.

Keep in mind UVA is notoriously tight-lipped on these things. May not have info until close to kickoff.

I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to root for Virginia in this one.

I think it is a good time for my annual rant about how much I hate Maryland.

As you drive northeast with the windows open and you smell the stench of a thousand rotting fish, you are nearing the decaying third-world trailer park known as College Park, Maryland. Converting the campus to a toxic waste dump would increase the property value.

Obi-Wan’s line in Star Wars: ā€œYou’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainyā€ was actually a reference to Maryland’s SECU Stadium on game day.

If aliens came to Earth and challenged Maryland to a sporting event with the price of Maryland losing being the utter and total incineration of the Earth, I still couldn’t root for Maryland.

I really, really don’t like Maryland.

I’ve never been to the UMd campus. I think the closest I’ve been is the IKEA in College Park.

You’re not missing anything. It’s not the complete sh$thole as some make it out to be but it’s also nothing special. I was always unimpressed

Yeah. I hate UMD, but like, their campus is fine. Nothing special - I can’t really think of a single feature besides the turtle statue that sticks out in my mind - but not awful. Just kind of mediocre.

… is seeing St Elmo’s Fire (where they pretended it was Georgetown)

Yeah it’s pretty unremarkable. Their fanbase, on the other hand, fucking dumpster fire the lot of them.

My dad taught at UMd for awhile and I still hate the school. I can’t think of any good times I ever had in College Park (or PG county for that matter). Though growing up in NoVA I have a strong bias against suburban MD.

Does College Park still smell like everything was doused in two coatings of Drakkar Noir?

It’s like someone decided to make a urinal into a community college campus.

Maryland is known as the Community College of South Jersey.

We don’t need to make make this a DMV beef so I’ll just share the last definitive word here: NOVA is a generic, soulless hellscape. College Park does suck, though.

Fair enough (I did say it was a bias :slightly_smiling_face:)
