61 Years in the ACC —Freddy from Boca Blogs About the Highs
I first starting following MD when Dick Shiner was qb and Tommy Brown and Gary Collins were on the team.. Watching the Tom Nugent Show on tv.
Bernardo Bramson-the human scoreboard. Every time he scored a point they would change his jersey number to match his total points for the year
Beating Penn State. I do remember.
Jerry Fishman taking on the Midshipmen. Almost wants you to root for Army.
Watching Steve Mike-Myer kick a kickoff 10 yds past the end line and Phil Waggonheim punt a ball over 40 yds. When I first came to MD. Roy Lester was the coach and the kickoffs went about 30 yds and the punts maybe 25 yds.
Watching Jerry Claiborne take a dead program to a very good program culminating with a Number One ranking with Mark Manges at qb.
Watching Randy White tackle everybody whether it was on the football field, on the mall, in class…He just tackled everyone everywhere.
Being at the MD-Alabma game with 54,000 fans. We outplayed Bear’s team but lost. A high even though we lost.
MD beating Miami after trailing 31-0 at the half.
Watching Boomer play qb
Going to the Orange Bowl and seeing nothing but Maryland fans.
The lows are so many I won’t go into them. It would make War and Peace seem like a short read.
