Nervous as a Virgin on Prom Night

Wow. So t-minus 133 minutes until tip-off of Maryland-Davidson. God are those butterflies fluttering around my stomach. I have the Terps tie on today. I can't focus well. And let me assure you that it's not out of fear of the result of the game. I truly and honestly believe that the Terps will beat Davidson. It's just that this tournament means so much to the diehard fans of the teams that are in it. I totally forgot how much I missed not being a part of this the past two years. I really am at a loss of words which is rare for me, but this is truly another of those times where I feel so bad for people who go to schools that don't field teams eligible to compete in this tourney. Out of all the teams that I am a fan of, I feel that I have more emotional energy and more of a bond to the Terp basketball team than any of these other teams because of the total devotion I had to them when I was a student at College Park, the road trips I took to follow them, and the hours upon hours I spent with J-Red and Brien camping out in Cole. Despite the nerves, it's damn good to be back and be a part of this thing. In some ways, the purgatory of the last two NIT seasons was good, because I had forgotten how much I live for this time of year.

Not a very substantive post, but I had to get this out there.

GO TERPS!!!!

I'm actually kind of comfortable with the 44-43 halftime score. They shot the lights out. Plus, the pace of the game takes all the pressure off our freshmen, Vasquez and Hayes. Davidson definitely came to play though!
