Chick-fil-A Bowl?
A couple of the ESPN pundits (Mark Schlabach and Bruce Feldman) now have Maryland slotted into the Chick-fil-A Bowl against Mississippi. That's the Atlanta bowl (the former Peach Bowl) pitting the ACC against the SEC.
A tad early, isn't it fellows? I understand that speculation like this is fun -- more fun for Maryland partisans if the Terps are looking at some of the higher-end bowls instead of the middling ones. Always nice to window-shop at Tiffany's. The Terps have earned the right to think big.
Forecasts like this are what drive the Web these days, I guess.
My favorite "predictions" are the ones that forecast all the brackets of the NCAA hoops tournament as if the experts not only know the 64 teams, but can foresee the regions in which they'll be slotted. Can they tell me what the stock market is going to do and when? Then I'd have that going for me ...
The Terps, by the way, lead the "also receiving votes" pack in AP's latest top 25.
And ... you all probably saw that former Terp Nick Novak kicked four field goals on Sunday for the Chiefs.
Thanks for the many kind comments this week about our blog and coverage.

A bit early to looking that far ahead. Saturday was a big win.... I am praying that we don't get a let down at Virgina
Great job with all the updates and info on our Terps..... Keep it coming

I remember on March Madness (my first one) the whole crowd chanted "We want Nick" when the football team was introducded. That game tying kick he had against Georgia Tech from about 50 yards was nuts, He had not kicked that well before that game but afterwards he was the MAN.
