Simply put, life is full of so many great mysteries. Does Bigfoot really exist? Why was the can opener invented 48 years after the can? Why did Thurston Howell III and his wife pack so many darn suitcases for a three-hour tour? These are questions that we may never get answered. But as we get […]

At this point with Maryland football, it’s almost as if they’re begging us to make fun of them. Between the on the field product as well as Randy Edsall’s press conference quotes, the Terps have quickly evolved into some of the lowest hanging fruit in the entire college football blogosphere. Then again, the good folks […]
