Garey in Columbus - Who woulda thunk it?
Football:
Gee, I didn't see this coming:

Imagine what would have happened to the ref had the Steelers lost.
Also, some Pittsburgher had a heart attack when Jerome Bettis fumbled. If he hadn't been in a bar with a bunch of firefighters, he might have died. Anyway when the guy woke up in the hospital, his first words were "did we win?"
TV:
I am the only one who watches "The Boondocks" on the Cartoon Network's [adult swim]? If so, I am better than the rest of you. It is great, and you have to respect Aaron McGruder, a guy who actually has a career despite going to the University of Maryland.
Mvsix:
Speaking of [adult swim] I just bought DangerDoom's "The Mouse and the Mask" CD. DangerDoom is Danger Mouse (producer of the illeagal Beatle/Jay-Z "Grey Album" and Gorillaz fame) and MF Doom (underground hip-hop producer and rapper.) "MF" does not stand for what you think. It is "Metal Face" or "Metal Fingers" depending on whether he is rapping or producing. For the longest time I thought MF Doom was one of Kool Keith's many personas, but it isn't. Back to "The Mouse and the Mask," Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost, and the other [adult swim] characters are all over this album. I only watch "Futurama," "The Boondocks," "Robot Chicken," "Cowboy Be-bop," and "Evangelion," (insert praise for TiVo here) but the "Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law" track on the album sounds so cool, I might start watching that. You can legally download two of the DangerDoom tracks here:

Back to Maryland:
Add soccer player Jason Garey to the list of Unversity of Merlin allumni that went on to slightly bigger and better things. He was drafted third overall by the Columbus Crew of the MLS "Super Draft" that was held in Philly last Friday. He was one of 4 Terps taken in the "Super Draft." (What's so super about it?)
(In no particular order)
U of MD Twerp success stories:
Shawne Merriman (San Diego Chargers)
Connie Chung (Marty Povich's lucky wife)
Jim Henson (AKA Kermit)
Valarie Solanas (shot Andy Warhol)
Taylor Twellmen (MLS MVP)
The Virgin Mary (the college's and state's namesake)
Merlin (the college's and state's other namesake)
Aaron McGruder (Revolutionary)
Juan Dixon (well, he's a borderline success)
Chris Wilcox (he's leaning toward mediocre again)
Gary Williams (well, he left UMD & came back)
Ralph "I'm not William 'the Refridgerator' Perry" Friegen (left and came back too)
Velocity Girl (RIP)
Donnatello from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Terps (AKA the cool turtle)
Boomer Essisen (Semi-gifted quarterback, not even semi-gifted commentator)
Steve Francis (jury is still out)
Len Bias
Joe Smith (Well, at least he is rich.)
The dude who started Under Armour (Does he have a name?)
Mike Tice
Allen Iverson (Oops, that was Georgetown)
Lebron James (Oh yeah. He's too cool for school)
Me
Remember to fear the turtle
Mvsix:
Definitely everybody's favorite Go-Go:
Regardless of whether heaven is a place on earth or not, Jane Wiedlin, not Belinda Carlise, is everybody's fave Go-Go even if I can never remember her name.

I comepletely forgot that she was Joan of Arc in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure." Her best role was the singing telegram girl in "Clue." She sung 5 words and then was shot. Cool.
Mvsix:
Placebo - "Meds"
Placebo's upcoming album called "Meds" has been leaked on the web. I tried to download it, but there were problems involving a lack of disc space on my personal machine. When I got around to trying it again, all of sources were terminated due to the internet police. It's not like I won't buy it. Michael Stipe guests on one track. I bet it's good. At least, it has gotta be a million times better than getting that Justin Warfield to "rap" on a track.
TV Show Being Released on DVD:
The Electric Company best of 4 DVD set. It's about time.
TV:
Is Carnivale on DVD yet? Not that I'll buy it, but if enough do maybe it will be resurrected by HBO.
The new HBO show coming out is staring Bill Paxton as a polygamist. One of his wifes is Chloe (with a umlat) Sevigny from "Kids," "American Psycho," & "The Last Days of Disco." I couldn't make this up. Maybe I could, but now I don't need to.
Movies that I'm excited for:
V Is For Vendetta
X-Men 3
The Watchmen (who knows when this will ever be started)
Ender's Game (ditto)
