I sent his tapes out to every D1 school in the country and they all responded back, his critics were silent as he made it to the top of the charts at the camps. after the season derek had committed himself in school and in the gym. Derek and i would get up at 500am in the morning and go to the dukes ball field across the street from my job and work out, Running, sprinting,and lifting.Thats when i new that the lights were on , he would become great , derek can literally take over a game he just has that passion, but if there is one thing that i do know about my son when his season comes maryland and the ACC will not be dissapointed at all.

The nature of sports no matter what level is to win. And if someone has to question either teams desire to win than that team doesn't deserve to play on Saturdays. And you might say, well they didn't want to win against MTSU, but Ralph clearly stated that that loss was on him due to lack of preperation. And now that MD has resurfaced its season, the will to win will be higher than ever. Now it's all about execution. Colin,

I believe that Virginia's "USC" hangover has finally subsided and that they will be chomping at the bit to beat anyone, let alone a border rival.
