I happened to tune in to your appearance on the Sports Reporters while driving on I-66, and almost drove off the road when they (I'm not sure who actually posed the question) asked you if Maryland had a chance to win a national championship in football. Huh??? Although you were also rather flabergasted to be asked such an asinine question, you correctly pointed out that while it is nice to see the Terps go from 2-10 to 8-4, perhaps they should win an ACC championship (or three) before anyone starts talking about winning national championships.

I ascribe this to something unique about sports coverage in DC, where everything is focused on how soon a particular team can win a title. The Redskins sign a couple of high-priced free agents (or a new coach) in the off-season? I guess we can pencil them in for the next Super Bowl. The Nats are able to draft the two most hyped baseball players in recent years? I guess we'll be seeing them contend for a World Series when Harper joins the big club in 2011. On and on it goes.

Thanks for being a voice of sanity in the face of all of the hyperbole.
