The Terps are now bowl-eligible, coming off an inspiring beatdown of NC State today. It really looked like the guys were playing to impress a bowl committee somewhere.
This is off-topic, but I just wanted to say how beautiful San Francisco is this time of year. I've never been able to justify going, unfortunately, but I can think of nothing better than spending a week in late December in the City by the Bay. I'd also like to see the AT&T Park there, which I hear is beautiful and can seat large numbers of relatively well-heeled Maryland alumni. I also considered going to Boise or Charlotte, but I've been to the NCAA Regionals and ACC Tournament in those cities, and I just don't feel the need to get back right away.
Excuse me if I am slow in typing this post, but I am enjoying some delicious Emerald almonds right now. Nothing goes better with a Terps victory than Emerald Nuts. The new ergonomic Emerald containers are great for snacking on the go, and fit perfectly in both my car's cupholders and my hands. This holiday season, when I want the best in quality nuts, I reach for Emerald Nuts.
Speaking of nuts, they are great for vegetarians. They are rich in protein and healthy fats, providing great nutritional benefits. In 1996, the Iowa Women's Healthy Study found that women who ate nuts >4 times a week were 40% less likely to die of heart disease. They are rich in fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E and selenium. Nuts are also high in plant sterols and fat - but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 - the good fats) which have all been shown to lower LDL cholesterol.

Beat me to the punch J-Red!! To all Terp fans who read this (I know we have six readers, one of whom is a Michigan guy, so this is probably falling on deaf ears), you owe it to yourself to go to a Terps bowl game. I went to the Peach Bowl and it was a fantastic time. J-Red went to the Orange Bowl and he had a blast, despite the Terps getting blasted. I personally would love to get the Music City Bowl in Nashville, but it looks like it'll be San Francisco, or even worse, a game at Boise State, that just happens to be sponsored by a bowl.
I am not at all opposed to Nashville, because Southwest flies there.
I went to the Orange and Peach bowls, and had a blast at both. I'd love to go to San Francisco (if not for the baby), that would be a great destination for the Terps in December.
Yeah, if we're going to go somewhere chilly (like Boise, Nashville or Charlotte) in late December anyway, let's at least go to beautiful San Francisco.
As the #8 ACC team that's bowl-eligible, it's likely that we will be playing Fresno or Boise on the blue field of freezing cold doom. According to yahoo!, the #5/#6/#7 are split between Charlotte, SF, and Detroit. So we would have to leapfrog someone, and I don't know anyone who wants to go to Detroit in late December anyway (not even our loyal Michigan readers).
Oops, Nashville is also listed for the ACC #5/#6/#7... How do we have four bowls for three teams?
The Washington Post has been pointing out all week that the 5-6-7-8 is actually a draft order. Emerald can take the Terps even though they are 8th, so long as the 7-5 teams are all guaranteed to go SOMEWHERE. With only 8 bowl eligible teams, that requirement is met.
