Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 1071832, member: 626"] I was in Maryland for 2 weeks and made a conscious effort to look for signs of and ask questions about UMD athletics. The response was lukewarm at best for anything to do w/ the B1G. There is simply no groundswell of support, and I say that w/ total ambivalence on this issue. My cousin & his wife are UMD alums and they are now more resigned than excited. Its like watching the 5 stages of grief in action- & they're finally nearing the acceptance stage. Lets not kid ourselves- this was not a decision based on anything other than money. Will it work out? Maybe. But from what I've witnessed, Delany was correct in stating that this was a "100 year decision". That might be how long it takes before most UMD fans, not withstanding the mercenary message board ninjas deployed by UMD to influence opinion, finally come around to the idea. JMHO [/QUOTE]
