Like Caucasians to Chipotle

Dear Debbie Yow,

Do us all a favor and just call the season right now. Let's be honest, we just got our standard shocker win over a top ten team, we managed to get back to .500, Greivis dropped a triple double, everybody is loving us... let's just ride off into the sunset satisfied with how things have gone, and just end it.

No matter what happens the rest of the way, beating UNC will 100% be the peak, and in all likelihood we're already setting ourselves up for a typical miserable collapse. So let's just save us all a lot of misery and hang it up.

Your Friend,

Juan

PS. I blame you for making us have to stick with these horrible yellow jerseys. I hope you're happy with yourself.

At the very least, Vasquez should hire an agent today because his NBA draft stock is never going to be higher. I also suggest that Cliff Tucker make a quality DVD of his performance during the UNC game to show to his kids and focus on his degree because it's all downhill from here, bud.

The only players that should want to keep playing are Dave Neal and Landon Milbourne. Neal for the obvious reasons, he's been playing with house money since this season started. There's really every reason for him to let it ride at this point. Milbourne, after fouling out with a weak 6 points and 4 boards, is that guy at the blackjack table that ends up down while all his buddies are getting up from the table with $300 in their pockets. "Come on guys... just one more shoe... come on!"

Even as Maryland fans we should probably just keep the tv off from here on out, and everybody knows it, but we'll all submit ourselves to the inevitable heartbreak anyways. It's like all non-latinos and chipotle. We remember that it was very tasty, but we choose to forget the horrific aftermath on the toilet.

Being a Maryland fan is all about the one or two huge wins we steal a year, and choosing to forget how awful the rest of the season was. Although I know this to be true, I still managed to convince myself that it would be worth it to get a ticket to the Duke game Wednesday night even though I know it isn't going to turn out well.

Let's look at the upcoming schedule.

Duke at home. Duke is coming off a dominating win at home over #9 Wake that broke them out of their rut. We'll spot them 40 points early.

At NC State. They've won 4 of their last 5 at home and we've won one game on the road against the worst team in the league. Really feel good about this one.

Wake Forest at home. Although Wake has struggled on the road, their starting 5 looks like 6'2" 6'4" 6'9" 6'9" 7'0". We've got a shot here. No... no we don't.

At UVA to close out the year. Is there any place that we inexplicably drop more games than Charlottesville? Probably not.

I just don't like our chances. I think we all know that when we look at back the 2008-2009 season that the only thing we're going to remember is the unreal comeback win against UNC and Vasquez's triple double. Both great, but probably too little too late.

So put the Chipotle down white folks, you probably don't have enough pepto or toilet paper at home to survive this one.
