Now that you find this entertaining let's take this opportunity to turn this into a learning experience for you.
"One Hit Wonders" is a term often used to explain a musical act that has one big hit and then fades away back into mediocrity never to be heard from again. I was using this term to describe the current status of the Maryland Terrapins. With a pre-season ranking of 14 in the country, one could only guess that sportswriters and coaches must feel the same way too. After all, ranking the defending National Champs out of the top 10 in pre-season is almost unheard of. Not to mention not being ranked #1 in their own conference since the defending National Champs are starting 4 seniors and the team ranked ahead of them is probably going to start 2 or 3 freshmen. Rodney Dangerfield gets more respect.
Now really to lay the Globetrotters thing to rest, anyone would have to realize that if the Maryland student body thought they won a "real" basketball game by beating the Globetrotters they would have used the opportunity to burn cars, break windows and loot for new boom boxes. That is the true benchmark for a Maryland victory.
If you're tired of beating me up in front of the whole world, I'd like to untie my hands from behind my back, they're getting numb and it's really getting boring. But have at it as long as you like.
I hope Maryland has a good season.

I'M SORRY, BUT I FEEL SORRY FOR THE DEACONS THIS WEEK!!!
Please let me help here, I'll add it myself. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. All that I ask is that it remain here until Maryland (the one hit wonders) wins another NCAA Championship or even the ACC. Thanks for the Immortality!
