The Million Dollar Question

A lot of people are wondering which Terp team will show up to Byrd Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

It could be the team that has won four straight games against ranked opponents. It also might be the team that lost at Middle Tennessee and was embarassed two weeks ago at Virginia.

Coach Ralph Friedgen generally likes to go with the “you play how you practice” addage. If you believe that then you might be in luck. After a lackluster session Monday, Friedgen said the team looked good the last three days and called today’s practice “sharp.”

But it’s also important to remember Friedgen was happy with his team’s practice performance leading up to the blowout loss in Charlottesville, Va.

So what does that all mean for the game against No. 21 Wake Forest?

“It’s anybody’s guess,” Friedgen said. “That’s why we pay our tickets to find out.”

That’s the answer Terp fans were afraid of.

Chili-Cheese Dogs

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — We had a six-and-a-half hour car ride today, but by far, the most remarkable thing said came a few minutes ago inside the media dining room.

Deputy sports editor Adi Joseph made the trip instead of our regulars Mark Selig and Geremy Bass. His presence has already been felt.

After downing two monster-sized chili-cheese dogs, Adi proclaims, “I wish I hadn’t eaten lunch,” he said referring to the Wendy’s Baconator he ate around 1:30 p.m. “I would have had room for three, maybe four, of these.”

Yes, folks, we’re talking about one of these: The best example we could find of the chili-cheese dogs served tonight.

Thankfully for myself and photographer Adam Fried, it’s fast food the rest of the trip, and we don’t have to see Adi attempt to down four chili dogs.

And this came just 24 hours after our sports editor Jeff Amoros was spitting crackers everywhere trying to eat six Saltines in one minute. What is up with these sports editors? Boy, the position has certainly changed…
