Hey Incoming Students!

Colleges & Universities University of Maryland - College Park

<p>Get pumped! We beat Duke last night! And even though we’re leaving the ACC in a year you’re going to be a part of forging new rivalries in the Big 10 – games against people like Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Michigan (all Top 15 teams right now) should be awesome! Get ready, because when Comcast Center is rocking like it was last night, I truly believe it’s one of the absolute top environments in college basketball! </p>

<p>[Maryland</a> Students Flash Mob and Harlem Shake - YouTube](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1qoZxWAsk8]Maryland”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1qoZxWAsk8) <– That was a flash mob we did at the game last night, also the Harlem Shake and the court storming. Was so much fun!</p>

<p>Great game! I always love it when the underdog beats Duke. </p>

<p>I am sad, though, that Maryland is leaving the ACC. There have been some great rivalries there over the years. As you said, though, on to new rivalries.</p>

<p>Oh how I wish I got in…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, but the thing is the ACC already had decided that Duke was no longer our rival and that Pitt, who we rarely ever play, would be instead. Like next year, we will play Pitt in a home-and-home and only play Duke once. So while I at first was sad I realized we’re not going to be leaving much behind, the tradition of the ACC is not what it once was.</p>

<p>Haha, this is great! Much better than watching UMD games and having ESPN have to cut to commercial because of …um…inappropriate student cheers!</p>

<p>Greatest night of my life. Loudest game in Comcast history according to season tickets holders that have been to every game since Comcast opened in 2002.</p>

<p>I was screaming as loud as I could and I still could not hear my own voice! How unbelievable is that? </p>

<p>I was sitting in the lower bowl center court and students in my section had been camping out since wednesday. (We would go in a group and alternate when people had class so as to keep one person in line at all times!)</p>

<p>Just a magical, magical night and an experience of a lifetime.</p>

<p>UMD is the perfect place to have a well rounded college experience!</p>
