This one’s for the comic book nerds…

A recent trend in Terp coverage is to describe the team as the “Bizarro” Terps. I take issue with that phrasing.

See, the idea of Bizarro Superman is that he is the counter to regular Superman. We have no idea (yet) which Terp team is the regular Terps. The term “Bizarro” is used only to describe the half that isn’t right, the half that’s not from our dimension. It is not mean to describe the time-warp phenomenon that has left us with two opposite Supermans, or in this case Terp teams, in the same dimension

So, beat writers and bloggers, if you’re reading this, stop with the comic book references if you’re not going to get them right.

    Note: The views of The Diamondback’s sports editor do not necessarily reflect the views of the rest of the sports section, especially the football beat writer in the case. Thanks.
