Talk about fair weather fans. I think Shocker nation could do better than this.

I only wish he would have been more clear about his feelings regarding Miami's D-line. He sounded like he was on the fence about the 'canes defense...lol.

At least Miami's field looks decent. Maryland's looks like crap.

Where do they play now?

[SPEShockAlum]

How embarrassing.

[1972Shocker]

Now we know why Maryland looked so good to Turg. No competition from football.

Maryland: Seems like wherever Lew Perkins was an AD, their football program ultimately falls on hard times.

Didn't UCONN make a comeback while he was there?

[Veritas]

Yes, I think he was AD at UCONN when they made the jump from DII to DI. He thought it was imperative to bolster conference affiliation (go figure). I believe he banked it on a state funded football stadium called Rentschler Field located about 30 minutes from campus which opened during his last year at UCONN. Could be a problem as it doesn't create the positive football campus environment on Saturdays. I'm not sure what their attendance tracking is though. Better than ours --- unfortunately.
