The Internet hated the new Terps uniforms
Not pictured: Francis Scott Key
In case you missed the football game last night (or the fashion show three weeks ago), the Maryland football team now has more uniform combinations than they do starting players.
They changed into top-secret uniforms after warmups and came out for the game against Miami dressed up like Francis Scott Key if he were competing on “American Gladiators.” Some thought it was as awesome as Apollo Creed’s American flag shorts, some thought it was just gross.

Don’t worry, a Maryland fan did do something offensive on national television
The Maryland-Miami football game got the Labor Day prime-time treatment Monday night, and ESPN sent images of our immaculately behaved students all over the Earth with the help of that special TV magic.
We made it almost the entire broadcast without incident, but then, just before the game cut to SportsCenter, the camera caught this kid:
Credit for the spot goes to Twitter user Ian Oland, who tweeted the pic after the game. If anybody knows who this is, please let us know — we’d like to ask him where he got the shirt, if it actually helps him pick up “fat bitches,” and if his mother knows he’s wearing that shirt in public.

Five College Park people who have (allegedly) gone positively bonkers

This city attracts curious people of all stripes — they write books; they raise families; they drink beer. And, occasionally, they go out of their minds and generate police reports that are far, far outside the bounds of run-of-the-mill misdemeanors.
One such incident occurred last weekend: A very strange potential road-rage incident involving a 32-year-old College Park man, a car antenna and a few thousand volts of electricity. His alleged assault has inspired the blogger-brains at Campus Drive to look into College Park’s history of housing (and teaching) people who went on to be accused of off-the-wall crimes. Here are five of the weirdest.

College Park natural disaster roundup: The Earth is going nuts

Welcome back to the campus! While you were gone, nature made several half-hearted attempts to remind us that we could be obliterated at any moment, for no reason, by forces that we cannot stop and will only occasionally see coming.
