Davidson]]> @AwfulAnnouncing: I still go to "Town Stall". Look for the group of old dudes who are getting drunk and arguing with each other. That is usually us.

I don't go through CP without a stop at TownHall.

I hear that Rt. 1 is getting ready for some serious redevelopment. Any truth to this news? my friends still own houses over by REI.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> So when I was a wee lad in junior high (before it was called 'middle school', I attended Lefty Driesell's basketball camp at Davidson. My counselor? Pete Maravich, who was then a freshman at LSU. Pete played basketball drunk better than the rest of the counselors (mostly Davidson guys) played sober. And he shared beer with us.

Good times.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> only $10,000 in damage? that's child's play. back in my days at Penn State we would tear down entire blocks.

but yes, I think Michigan State has us all beat. they really know how to riot.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> Didn't a lot of Terp fans think Gary Williams should be on the chopping block after last season? Maybe they should spend less time burning couches and more time perusing Maryland men's basketball stats books.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> As a sophomore at Maryland its sad that the only riot that we have had while I have been here was when the Woman's BBall team beat Duke in the championship last year.

BTW with Gist Hayes Vasquez and Boom coming back next year it should not be too bad.

Kol Midre Cummings

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> Maryland had much bigger riots following their 2001 loss to Duke in the NCAAs. It's just much less fun to say "We had our most famous riot after blowing a 22 point lead and losing to Duke."

And really, Michigan State has you beat when it comes to aimlessly destroying shit. Anacostia and N.E. look like Shangri-La compared to downtown Lansing.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> I find it impressive Town Hall is still there... My Dad used to drink there back in the 60's and I was glad to carry on the tradition...

My fondest memory being the purchase (after being shocked to find it actually existed) a bottle of Brass Monkey in the package store at age 17.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> The best thing about Town Hall is that the attached liquor store is open 30 minutes after the bar closes.

Good thing about town hall, besides pitchers are still less than 9 bucks, is you can stroll over to the liquor store if you need a bottle to chug pregame to settle nerves

With Eric Hayes and Hot Sauce Vasquez maturing rapidly and James Gist comming back, we will be fine with veteran leadership. We don't have an impressive recruiting class, but no one had heard of Joe Smith, Keef Boof, Juan Dixon, Lonnie Baxter, or Terrance Morris either. We're going to be FINE next year, especially after going 30-8 this year.

I liked them a lot better when they were bad enough to put Gary's job in jeopardy

Wait until next year - most students around from the championship year will have graduated, as will UMD's senior frontcourt. Could be a rough ride next year.

SteveJeltzFan

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> Hitting Boozer's mom in the head was a good move, seeing as we were recruiting the younger Boozer at the time.

I'm rather fond of when the student section chanting "D-U-I" everytime Bobby Hurley touched the ball, Momma Hurley turns around to let them have it only to quickly realize her mistake under an avalanche of newspapers.

being_sven

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> I'm picking against Maryland out of spite, which pretty much guarantees the utter obliteration of my bracket. I liked them a lot better when they were bad enough to put Gary's job in jeopardy, rather than beating the shit out of my team. I blame you, Christmas Ape.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> @Christmas Ape:

I graduated in 2001 (watched the 22-point breakdown against Duke on live feed at Cole Field House). I too was at the Rte 1 couch burning. I will be wearing both my 'Fuck Duke' and 'Garyland' T-shirts at the same time. I was also at the awesome game when a student bounced a water bottle off Carlos Boozer's mom's head and we got banned from the student section.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> I only wish I could put each and every one of those 'Route One Rioters' in the middle of a real riot so they could take a steel-toed boot to the teeth and see how they brag about that.

I suppose it might be different if you remember what it was like to root for those Evers Burns teams in the Dark Period.

being_sven

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> So, Maryland gets the 'dangerous mid-major' gauntlet this year, with Davidson in the first round and the ODU/Butler winner in round 2 should the get there. That's probably not a fun position -- lose and your fans go berzerk, win and they all expected it anyway.

I graduated in '04, the year they won the ACC. As grueling as it's been, there was some fun to be had in ribbing current students about jinxing the program in the years since.

]]> <![CDATA[NCAA Pants Party: Maryland Vs. Davidson]]> I'm just glad to be back in the tournament. After 11 straight appearances, it's no coincidence that the beginning of the two previous seasons I announced (to whomever was listening), "I don't like this year's team... and I mean that personally. They're a bunch of punks."

This season, I admitted I liked them. Though, mid-January, it seemed as if it wasn't going to matter. Thank you for going back to Garyball.

Unfortunately, Garyball also includes a refusal to successfully recruit top-notch blue chippers for fear they'll only stay one year.
