Times like these are when we've really gotta make our money as bloggers. Football is over, you'll kill me if I talk about basketball, and the bowl game hasn't been announced yet. It's like that time of year when no major sports are going on and you just sit at home at night and go, "Well, I guess I'll watch women's bowling tonight" we've gotta come up with all sorts of things to make you argue about. It's great.
That being said, I really wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't bring up tonight's game against Maryland one more time. If you're in town, especially if you're a student, you should go. Gates open at 8. Games starts at 9:15. ESPN2. Wear white, and be proud of your school. I'm not going to get on a soapbox about it, but the team could use your support.
Anyway, a surprising mixed bag today, rich people, Blair Brown, Bowl games, and some basketball.
