Person 1: How about those helmets Maryland wore against Notre Dame?

Person 2: Yeah, those were pretty cool.

Person 1: Agreed! Did you watch the game Saturday night?

Person 2: The first half. But once ND was up by 22 I turned it off.

Person 1: Ha. I didn't even make it out of the first quarter. The Irish were ROLLING. Plus, The Breakup was on TBS. Love that movie.

- SCENE -

Notre Dame is my second favorite college football team but I don't see this game being a complete blow out. Notre Dame will win but it won't be an embarrassment for Maryland.

I was just having some fun. I always enjoy when we alma mater plays my hometown teams (Navy/UMD).

Although, I do think that the idea that MD's helmets will get them credit with recruits is a funny notion. More likely, national television exposure courtesy of ND will put the Terps in front of a lot of eyes that otherwise wouldn't be watching them.

Love the turtle-shell helmets. Like the various red-black-white combos to various degrees. Despise the yellows. My opinion on the black helmets is incomplete because the helmets are incomplete.

If I'm a recruit, I'm paying less attention to the uniforms and more to Edsall. He takes the names off of the jerseys, then days later when the new ones come out his first statement is the Under Armor slogan? What the hell kind of hypocrite is this guy? I realize he was probably bought with UA money, but he doesn't need Plank's hand up his rear end all the time.

I guess now we can afford better players though, so...:noidea:

I know I shouldn't, but for the past few months when reading about Terps football, I have occasionally asked myself "WWMLD" (What Would Mike Leach Do)? I know he already had a relationship with Under Armour at Texas Tech, but he doesn't seem like the sort who would be a corporate butt-kisser either. I wonder what he would even think of these unis? Since the bandanna is standard pirate issue, I'm sure there wouldn't be a "no do-rag rule" in the team house. Guess I just need to let that pirate ship sail.

Considering Texas Tech wasn't exactly known for their classically simple uniforms during his tenure, I doubt he would have done anything differently from that end. He probably wouldn't have taken the names off, and I seriously doubt he would have said what Edsall did, though.

(Of course, he probably would have gone with "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!" or something...)

I don't care for the new uniforms at all, I think they look stupid. It looks like were tryin to be Oregon east coast version, not a fan of the change

Minus having the NCAA sniffing around the program, what's wrong with being the east coast version of Oregon? Is playing an exciting brand of football and going to BCS bowls not your thing?

      Was the offense just in a run of bad luck on this road trip?

      I would add that Mountcastle and Urias were also losses to the offense.  Throw in a couple of slumps to our other regulars, creating 4-5 weak spots in the offense, and that's a lot to overcome.  I don't discount the mental part of hitting, but I do think most of our problems are directly linked to the rash of injuries we've suffered.

      Just my opinion. ZiPS projects him for a .708 OPS next year and I'd bet on the under. I think he's a .230/.295/.395 hitter with a below average glove. A Rio Ruiz type of player.

      We have to keep Irvin "pumped up."  When he's "deflated" he's just no good.  🤣

      There just seems to be some sort of disconnect between upper management, coaching and the players right now. Do I know that for sure? Obviously no. But with the dropoff we've seen in offensive production something is off here. They literally have been mediocre since the All Star break. And the only big loss on the offensive side is Westburg.

      There are no answers, only Zuul. But seriously, I think the issue at play here is we look at the body of work of guys like Eloy, Slater, O'Hearn, Rivera, and (to a lesser extent) Soto, you see where the holes are. I get that O'Hearn was thrust into 1B near FT due to the Mountcastle injury, but that didn't explain Hyde from playing O'Hearn in the OF when he is one of the worst defensive OFers on this team. Right now, this team is very much ailing. Ramon coming back will definitely help spell the need for O'Hearn to be a 1B by maybe letting Rivera play over there.  We need to get back to a point where O'Hearn is only hitting against righties and is playing sparingly in the field. Eloy is a liability at this point. I was a proponent of seeing what mechanical tweaks they could make similar to what they did w/ Hicks (and even O'Hearn!) and they did catch lightning in a bottle maybe due to excitement/adrenaline and BABIP being unsustainably high, but right now his flyballs aren't carrying and his groundballs aren't finding holes, so there's probably a reason why Chicago is saying, "Haha, told you so!" This team is in freefall offensively, at this point...just give the ABs to Mayo. You can't simultaneously say, "He needs to make adjustments!" and then let him have 5 ABs over 5 games. That isn't a way to grow a player. Not everybody can be a part time player and be effective off the bench/sparingly. Kjerstad has shown an ability to hit lefties in the minors as well as in the majors (albeit in very limited time, he his 4 for 10 against them). Let the kid play. Slater has fallen off a cliff, but at least he's a solid defensive OFer I get it, nobody is going to solve the offensive woes of this team when it comes to the rookies/young guys. Mayo, Holliday, Kjerstad, even Cowser...they're all still adjusting. The change needs to come from the main stays. Now, Adley is starting to hit, Gunnar is back on a hitting binge, but this lineup desperately needs some consistent production from Tony to go along with it because right now way too much pressure is being put on the bottom of the lineup and the young guys. And I'm not convinced Westy solves any of those issues as wrist injuries are a beast to bounceback from quickly.

      I get the desire to poo-poo analytics and advanced data, etc.  It does get obnoxious hearing about statcast pages in red when guys aren't hitting well.   But more obnoxious are cries of "the old eye test" and "old school" and the other various "yelling at cloud" types of arguments.  If everyone was stuck with the way things were done back in the day, we'd never progress and never advance in any area of life or society.  That includes how we look at and discuss baseball.

      If the above is true, how do you get a team to deliver timely hits, stop pressing, and quite expecting to lose?
