It wasn't the crowd... no no, it was the JMU band. Yes, all fourteen of them that made the trip. They were raucous. I'm just sick of the excuses. The football team is too young. The basketball team is too young. My #1 pet peeve with the Maryland athletic department is that the spin is always that there isn't enough talent to win. The problems Maryland faces are not unique to them in any way. They just need to get better at recruiting, period. I noticed that. It wasn’t the crowd… no no, it was the JMU band.
