Terp Fans Not Humanitarians?

     The Maryland Terrapin football players, some cheerleaders and mascot are humanitarians.  Even when they travel nearly 2,400 miles and have to prepare to play in a bowl game these Terps make the time.  According to team mascot, Testudo’s blog,  these gamers were spreading good cheer at St. Luke’s Children Hospital in Boise Monday.  They visited pediatric patients in the hospital’s intensive care unit to share time with the young ones. 

    Nice.  Go Terps!!!

     So what up with Terps fans then?  We are humanitarians.  It’s just that not many of us are showing up at Broncos Stadium for kickoff when the Terrapins (7-5, 4-4 in ACC) meet up with the Nevada Wolf Pack (7-5, 5-3 WAC ). 

     It’s not a high-profile glammed up bowl-game…still, its a BOWL game. 

     It’s easy to see why fans might be disappointed.  What is the Roady’s  Humanitarian Bowl anyway?  Keep in mind, I don’t follow a whole lot of college football, but I follow the Terps and I love me some football. I know the Champs Bowl.  The Rose Bowl.  You get the picture…  Humanitarian Bowl? It’s new to me, but that might not be saying much. How about you? 

     Roady’s– the title sponsor- belongs to Roady’s Truck Stops.  I’ve never seen one. Well, Roady’s are in 45 states with over 400 locations.  Wow…

     Listen, it’s the Terps and it’s a bowl game!  The action begins at 4:30 on ESPN. This is the Terps third straight bowl appearance (and sixth over an 8-year period).  They are in the hunt for their forth victory over five seasons. 

     Thanks Roady’s.
