COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The moment was made for an end-of-the-game SportsCenter celebration highlight. Maryland senior Barnable Osby jumped on James Gist, his face lit up with excitement and his Ben Wallace-style hair shaking, after Gist drew a charge and sent the Terps into halftime with a nine-point lead. The Maryland crowd, which came armed with Duke-hating signs and wearing T-shirts like "Duck Fuke", was wild with excitement, waiting for another upset of a top-five Tobacco Road team.
I once heard a friend of Maryland coach Gary Williams describe him thusly: "He has an overriding sense of misery, which sustains him in times of happiness." That may not sound like a compliment, but in Williams' bizzaro world, it is. If the best of times are never as good as they seem, then the worst of times can't be all that bad.
Dear FSB: I'm starting a small business in building services. I'm already operating in two small locations. My first service has been to clean the offices in these buildings on a trial basis for the owner, who has other properties. The owner says he really likes my work. The owners of the buildings I've been working in know that I don't have a business license and that I'm trying out this type of business for the first time. I know that the next step is to get a business license but after that, what next? Help.

What's happening in Maryland? On Tuesday, Maryland became the first state in the union to drop out of college. The electoral college, that is.
The University of Mississippi didn't lose a thing in the fall of 1962. Oh, the history books might say something different, telling as they do of a black man named James Meredith and the failed, violent efforts to keep him from enrolling at the school, and the beginning of the end of segregation in the depths of the South. But posterity also records that after the gun smoke and tear gas had blown from the campus, the Ole Miss football team went 10-0, even as it shared its practice field with the federal troops bivouacked there. It was no small balm to white Mississippians, who watched what they called "our way of life" come forcefully to a close. In his autobiography the coach of that undefeated team, John Vaught, described the effect in a chapter titled "Football Saves a School."

It marked the beginning of the party in College Park. The end came hard Tuesday night in Hartford.

A record snowfall -- never before have as many as 25 inches fallen in Burlington, Vt., in a 24-hour period -- led my ABA team, the Vermont Frost Heaves, to postpone our game with the Maryland Nighthawks last Thursday. The decision didn't follow only from prudence, though a snow emergency still had the streets around Memorial Auditorium choked with heaps of the white stuff, and we certainly didn't want our opponents to hurry their bus ride up from the mid-Atlantic in hazardous conditions. By carrying the game over a day, we bridged it to a walkup-friendly Friday night, and got another news cycle of promotion out of the player Maryland had somehow folded into that bus.
