Heather Dinich Chat Answer of the Week

Every Monday Heather Dinich hosts an ACC chat and answers questions at ESPN.com.  This is her shitting on the University of Maryland

Jonathan (Rockville, MD): Will Maryland ever realistically compete for the league title? I mean, will the Terps ever actually become consistent? 

SportsNation Heather Dinich: Well, they DID compete for the league title this season. They just blew it. Consistency starts up top, and the staff has played musical chairs almost every year. 

Lewis: (Washington, DC): Heather, you’re from the Washington DC area, and covered Maryland, why has the press given him a free pass? They haven’t talked about Friedgen’s recruiting and inconsistency. 

SportsNation Heather Dinich: Ha … right. Ask Ralph and rec. coord. Dave Sollazzo how they felt about my Maryland recruiting stories. My question to those calling for Friedgen’s job is this … who could Debbie Yow realistically hire to do better given what he has to work with? 

BoiseTerp: What do you mean, “given what the Fridge has to work with? The Maryland area has tons of talent to recruit. 

SportsNation Heather Dinich: Sure it does, but when it comes to getting them, it can’t beat Penn State or Virginia Tech’s atmosphere on game day or their facilities. 

Elton: (College Park, MD): Heather: I’ll give you a few good choices who Debbie Yow could hire and would do a better job in recruiting: Turner Gill and Brian Kelly. I’m sure you agree, right? 

SportsNation Heather Dinich: Sure, they are two very good coaches who did outstanding jobs this season, but my point is they all would have the same things Ralph has to recruit … If you’re 17 and being recruited by Penn State, Virginia Tech and Maryland, would you rather play for teams that are going to the OB and Rose Bowl and have at LEAST 80,000 fans at their games, or play for a team coming off the Humanitarian Bowl appearance that plays in Byrd Stadium?

    Living up in Twerp country, I see their delusions on a daily basis. My favorite is all the college football magazines before the start of the year (every year) say: “TITLE TALK IN COLLEGE PARK?”

    FALSE

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I wish we could play Maryland and Clemson every year, gimmie those W’s.
