Of course not, Duke is Maryland's biggest rival.

And please spare me the "But Maryland is not Duke's biggest rival" BS. I don't care. Maryland's players, fans, students, and coaches get more pumped up to beat Duke than any other team, and considering that we've beaten Duke just about as much as anyone else in the country over the past 5-6 years (if not the most), that's plenty good enough for me.

I think MD fans hate NC State more than UVA...Is that correct? Or is that only in football?

I don't recall hating NC state at all. They are just in our confrence.

I have a feeling BC could be one of our biggest rivals in the near future. I don't know why, I just think they will.

I don't know why they think Uva is our rival. Just because they are a state away...

Funny you bring up BC...I just have a feeling, with their "thuggish" way they play at times that alot of teams and fans will end up disliking them.

I have heard alot of anomisty between State and MD before but it may pertain to football more than bball.

I have never heard that. I wouldn't totally discount it, but I don't think NC state is really on MD radar as far as rivals go.

I guess it varies by sport. In football, I definitely do not like NC State.

In general I don't much care for anything about U of Vagina. I want to beat them in every sport, including water polo, croquet, and frisbee golf. So you better believe I get pumped for a game like this tonight.

I'd say yes, but a large part of that is due almost exclusively to two people:

Julius Hodge and Phillip Rivers.

The only real reason UVa and MD are playing in the "rivalry week" are because they are the closest to each other (or were before the new teams came in). The two "northern" teams of the ACC seemed a smart match for the rivalry week. Even when MD/Duke was having some of the most epic battles in college basketball every season, I had no problems with Duke/UNC being the games during "rivalry week" because of the historical aspect.

Agreed that Duke is really #1, but for "official" purposes, UNC and Duke have to play, so we get UVA by default.

Whatever. At this point, I just want to see wins. I don't think we really have the luxury of worrying about who's our biggest rival. Our biggest rival is anyone with more ACC wins than us.

Wow. Can't believe that there has been all this talk about how Duke is Maryland's biggest rival, blah, blah, blah, and almost no talk about the actual game.

You are 100 percent right itilian, who gives a rats a$$ who your rival is as long as you are winning games. I'll tell you right now, as UVa sits tied for first place in the conference, I couldn't care less if we played Duke, UNC, Virginia Tech or Miami tonight, I just want to win to take over first place in the conference.

You guys should feel the exact same way. This is an enormous game for Maryland if they want to go to the NCAA's this year. Sure it's a big game for Virginia, but it is 100 times bigger for Maryland.

So, everyone can argue about who each others rivals are or whatever, but tonight at 9 it's just about UVa and Maryland, and that's all that matters.

I would say in the past Clemson was the biggest football rivary. I think it is changing to FSU and maybe WVA if the game continues in the future. I know niether looks like a rivary on the map but to the players it is the most important game. I notice many times there is a disconnect between the most important game to the players and the most important game for the fans. In basketball currently it has to be Duke. In the past I think it was UNC.

      1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

      Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By Philip · Posted

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
