Eva - I notice from your public profile that you will turn 16 years old in a few weeks. For your birthday present, maybe you can ask your parents for a book on the history of college football, so that you will know which teams comprise the Big Ten Conference (yes, Penn State and Michigan State are members), and so that you will not conveniently "forgot" that Wake Forest and Duke are in the ACC. Also, you might want to do a little research on Ohio State, so that you at least know a little something about the program that you are attempting to discuss. We know our football over here, and we'd be more than happy to discuss it with a newbie like you, but please do us the courtesy of being somewhat informed.

Last I checked, Maryland is a middle-of-the-road ACC team as well. A string of three decent years does not make the Terps an up-and-coming program. Lest you forget, N.C. State was an "up-and-coming" program after they defeated Notre Dame in some meaningless bowl game a few years back. Where are the Pack now? Let's just face the facts - Maryland wasn't a very good team in the pre-merger ACC, and now with Miami, VT, and BC in the conference, the Terps will be lucky to be bowl-eligible on an annual basis.

Yeah, you're probably right ... but that's one hell of a huge IF....
BTW, as I mentioned above, Ohio State's all-time record 757-294-53, for a winning percentage of .710; and Maryland's all-time record is 567-494-43, for a winning percentage of .533. If Maryland were to go 10-2 every year (as you suggest might be possible), then the Terps would equal the Buckeye's winning percentage in 140 years. I hope that you're still around to see it....
The next time you want to call out a Big Ten program, you might want to go after someone your own size, say Northwestern.
P.S. - Welcome to the Planet. If nothing else, your enthusiasm for your school is commendable, and your posts have a certain entertainment value. As far as challenging, let's just say that arguing with a Terps' supporter is a "tune-up" for when the Longhorns and Wolverines show up to fan the flames.
