Terps have no answer for the 3 big TE's that Stanford uses. 1 of them is always open and running behind them is too much for Maryland to defend. 5 plays, 70 yards...TD Stanford. 21-7

Stanford right back...14-7 Poor kick off followed by a good run back and great field position.

Touchdown Maryland! Pounded it in after Diggs made several key catches and runs. Real nice drive against a top ranked Stanford D. 7-7

Terps are driving...Brown is hooking up with Diggs. Terps look loose...not tentative or intimidated...a good sign.

I forgot Maryland needs a QB. The defense has to come up big to have a shot of staying in this game....Sack and Stanford punts.

7-0 Stanford drove right down the field...hurry up...not enough pass rush or pressure from Terps.

OMG! It's hurricane force winds....and a freeze warning! The balls are just blowing across the field and the kickers can't kick anything straight.

Pouring down the coffee to stay awake...Go Terps! Shock the World!

It was an ugly 1st half as nobody could score. Then near the end it looked like Maryland would lose with Turgeon getting a technical foul...but Wells came through, tied it up and forced over time. It went into double over time and Melo took over. 68-66. Maryland is letting the Big Ten know they are not cannon fodder. It's turning out to be a respectable 1st year for Maryland in the Big Ten.

I'm just getting an early seat for this one. Don't know about you but I'm excited. Game starts at 10 on ESPN....let the eye bleeding begin!

'yawn'

Here we go again....

No running game...Rthsslxxssbrrgrrrr on his ass...and besides....Brown's only scored 1 TD against the Ravens in 2 games this year. Icy rain and snow Saturday night will wreck all this nice theory and feel snug "Steelers are really scary and unbeatable" crap out.

To be the best, you have to beat the best. I like it. If the Ravens make the playoffs after playing this schedule they will be a very tough out. The rest of the North will have a similar schedule, so next years key is having a great winning percentage in games with the North. Do that and it's playoffs!

I don't like restructuring too many contracts. That's a quick path to Cap Jail and mediocrity. A few is ok, but not for large amounts of money to create Cap. You can't buy a Super Bowl these days. The Ravens are OK because they don't do this.

Steve Smith is bad to the bone. Check out this teaser for Ravens Wired tonight... http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Wired_Teaser_Smiths_Fantastic_Exchange_With_Ref/cdffd6d2-982f-4a69-8afd-726f2352fb68

50-50 Tampa, the Jets and the Browns found ways to beat the Steelers. They are not the nasty Steelers of old. Of this 50-50, I'm leaning towards the Ravens. The Ravens will go as far as this offensive line takes them. That's the game right there. I'm not worried about the D. One other thing: Kubiaks offense is very predictable for defenses. He has to change things up. He can't work the 2 TE's like he wants to and that is one cornerstone. They have to block and they can't get open or be the same weapons like they could be if Pita was healthy. He can't try to run when defenses are run blitzing or blitzing up the middle. It doesn't work. So then the D knows he's going to try screens and roll out to the flat...and they are ready. He has to come out differently calling the plays because the heat will be coming all game....because that's how you stop Joe. Don't give Joe time and have tons of guys in his face. I think Kubiak and the coaching staff make the adjustment so I like the Ravens chances.

And when you're in a mess and you feel like cryin' Just remember this little song of mine And as you go through life tryin' to reach your goal Just remember what I said about a little bit o'soul A little bit o' soul, yeah (a little bit o' soul)

"You say "Baby there's somethin on my mind - I know that you're home and I know you aint all alone!

Well, she opens up the door and then you just kinda walk up to her and say "Baby", (say Baby!) you look up way up at her green mascara and you say "Oh my darling, you know her and me was at the party as friends - do not believe what they say that's only gossip that they tellin ya - a wise crack of lies!" You say Darling!!! Take your big curls and squeeze them down Ratumba - What's the name of the chick with the long hair? (Rapunzel!) Hey Rapunzel! Heh heh... Hey Reputa the beautah!

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror 'Cos I get better looking each day To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man. O Lord it's hard to be humble But I'm doing the best that I can. I used to have a girlfriend But I guess she just couldn't compete With all of these lovestarved women Who keep clamouring at my feet. Well I probably find me another But I guess they're all in awe of me Who cares I never get lonesome Cause I treasure my own company. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror 'Cos I get better looking each day To know me is to love me I must be a hell of a man. O Lord it's hard to be humble But I'm doing the best that I can.

Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin' with the wind And the feelin' that I'm under Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never want to die Born to be wild Born to be wild
