@ #23 Texas, 9/2

Good decision to throw it away.

Good job Terps. TD would have been optimal, but that is a good answer for an underdog on the road.

Let's get a stop here and go into half with the 16 point lead.

[ArtVanDelay]

Get a stop here please.  can't let Tx go into the half with all the momentum and the 2nd half kickoff.

[JohnBKistler]

I think Texas got away with a hold on that first pass of the drive. 

[JohnBKistler]

Good timeout. 

[JohnBKistler]

Nice open field tackle. Forced Texas to burn a TO.

Oh, I agree with you that the overall talent isn't comparable.  There's an enormous amount of talent in the DC/Baltimore area but it's concentrated in that small area.  Obviously nowhere near the scale of Texas or Florida.

The comment was, "The talent within 45 mins of DC is the best in the country & 2nd isn't particularly close. You can win a national title with just DMV talent." I don't know you really judge this, but if you look at this percentage of blue chip talent, even if you add in all of MD, VA, and DC you come up with 6.5%. That's till less than 4 states. Miami, Dalls, Houston and Los Angeles have huge amound of talent coming from their area. 

Anyway, this area does have a lot of talent, but to say it's #1 in the country and #2 is not close is an exaggeration. Even though I'm a baseball guy, i can do some research when things don't sound right. lol

Yeah.... dumb call...

[JohnBKistler]

Just really impressed with MD so far. They are clearly outplaying Texas. 

[Tony-OH]

Wow, that was desperate. Why not kick the FG there? Good stand by MD.

[Tony-OH]

Piggy needs new shoes at halftime.

[ArtVanDelay]

The boo birds are out.

[Tony-OH]

Let's just say the Texas fans are not happy with the new ERA. hahah

They have had a FG blocked and missed another one. And dare I say it, desperation may be starting to seep in?
