Boston College win a bummer for Terps fans

Boston College's late touchdown to beat Wake Forest means the Terps can't clinch the Atlantic Division by beating Florida State tonight.

A Maryland win means the Terps and Boston College would play for the division title next weekend.

A Maryland loss ends the Terps' title hopes.

Which all means that it's still a giant game for the Terps but that they won't be able celebrate much tonight if they win because the business of the regular season won't be concluded.

Maryland players -- wearing their black jerseys and black pants for this "blackout" game -- were warming up on this chilly night when Boston College pulled ahead. I'm sure the Boston College-Wake Forest result isn't something that Fridge wants his players thinking about as they begin their own game.

Obviously you were counting the chickens before they hatched. Maryland is a marginal team in a horrific conference. Friedgen has some significant coaching issues that should not be around at this point of his tenure at Maryland.
