Today’s SECU Stadium crowd for Maryland vs Michigan at the end of the first quarter. Third ‘sellout’ of the season (capacity 46,185), but to my untrained eye, the most people that have been here so far this season.

Blessed with a lot of picture-perfect college football Saturdays in College Park this season, and today is no exception, as Maryland honors 16 seniors in its final home game of the season against No. 18 Michigan.

Terps and Huskies meet today for only the 2nd time and 1st since the inaugural Aloha Bowl in 1982. Boomer Esiason had 251 yds and 2 TDs in a 21-20 loss. The bowl no longer exists. Nor does the Pac-10.

Cher once asked if she could turn back time.
Tonight, Venus Williams did.
Cracking forehands from the jump. Her serve came to her with authority in the second set (after she lost the opening game of the match at love on her serve!).
An inspiring performance in DC.

All right, let’s get it set for the second semifinal, as No. 2 Maryland takes on No. 3 Michigan. Terps beat the Wolverines 10 days ago in Ann Arbor and come off of their best game of the season in a 23-point beatdown of Illinois last night. Tip approximately 3:50.
