Terps opened up as 16.5 point underdogs. Bigger number than I was expecting, although it's down to 15.5 now. Also can't hurt that FSU is going into their bye week with a matchup with Clemson after that. Nice perfect storm, from a betting perspective, to take the Terps. Hopefully as a fan they can pull the upset. Like Ricker said, I think they have a shot. More anxious for this game than I can remember for any Terps football game.

Trap game for FSU? I like it.

Yeah they got a shot for sure. It's hard not to be optimistic given their good start. FSU got somewhat of a scare from BC last week. So I think they'll be ready. It's gonna be tough to beat FSU. It honestly wouldn't shock me though if FSU took care of the Terps. I thought WVU was going to be their first real test and they passed with flying colors. But it's hard to know what to make of that when they then beat Ok St.

Do they still give away free tshirts when you sign up for unneeded credit cards at Byrd?

According to WaPo, Terps will be rocking their White-Ops jerseys on Saturday.

 

Also, while it looks like Tropical Storm Karen won't hit Florida until later on Saturday, some wind and rain can only help our chances.

It sounds like there is a chance that the Terps get WR Nigel King and DE Zeke Riser back for this game.

Looks like it's up to 16 now. I need to get in on that, because that seems high to me. I also like the under, which is currently at 57.5, especially with the possible weather-related conditions.

12+ hours until Game Time. Hoping MD can have some things go right early, and gain some confidence.

I just woke up from a terrible dream where MD lost 51-17.

Ha, what can I say.  Don't have a smartphone so my options are very limited.  Pretty sure I still have a walkman on my "stuff I should have thrown away a long time ago but for some reason haven't" shelf.

 

Don't feel bad, I still rock the walkman for O's games and then evening sports talk when I talk the pup out for a walk. I know I could get it all on my phone but I hate that my phone is like 30 seconds to even a few minutes behind real time.

Morning all. Anyone else put Old Bay in their Bloody Mary?

[SportsGuy]

Very unlikely Terps win today.

 

But making this a game will go a long ways towards their confidence as a team IMO.
