Maryland's predicament, posting only one win in the non-conference, reminds me of that famous Major League line. For those who haven't seen the 80's classic, the hapless Cleveland Indians are faced with an improbable mission: win the pennant to keep their team from relocating.
With a 1-3 record entering the conference, the Terps are in a situation where they need to win 5 games just to be bowl eligible. And let's say they finish 6-6. With one of those wins coming against JMU in OT, would they even get a bowl bid?
So the only goal at this point: "Win the whole fuckin' thing."
That thing is the perennially irrelevent Atlantic Division. Hardly suited for a Hollywood script. But a string of wins could go a long way to reigniting the Terps fan base.
And in case you didn't notice, the Atlantic is -- yet again -- wide open.
The Terps looked pretty good today. Some say they "shocked" Clemson. I think they played soundly on defense and did barely enough on offense to beat a middle-of-the-road ACC team. Nevertheless, still a good win.
