This should be fun to watch.

"So, what should happen? The remaining members from the group that made the BB&T famous — GW, whatever Virginia mid-major had a gap in their schedule, a mediocre BCS conference team, a service academy and eff it, the Washington Wizards — should join with The Great Alaska Shootout and that Hawaii tournament that isn't the Maui Invitational and form a new tournament called “I Stumbled On This Looking for the Redskins Post-Game Show"

I heard the UMCP Board of Trustees is against supporting children's charities.

Two of my favorite comments:

1. "Especially with expansion watering down traditional basketball rivalries, I have no idea why Georgetown would not agree to this."

Did you READ the bloody article?

2. "Why would Georgia Tech come all the way to DC to play against local scrubs?"

Turgeon's quote in the Post, complaing about last year's gate of just 10,714: "If this environment won’t give us that, I can get it somewhere else. We’ll see.” Today's gate, without any NFL counterprogramming by the Redskins: 10,256.

With numbers like that, he's gone in 2013 and the Smith Center will host it next year with Mason, AU, and Howard.

He's delusional. It's been a long time since Maryland was a destination school for recruits or remotely relevant in CBB. Apparently Turgeon hasn't gotten that memo.

the best part of the game yesterday was watching Junior talk about how quickly Turgeon jumped on board for the BB&T. What a joke
