Like a Rock

24 hours ago, Maryland Basketball was rocked by the news of Jordan hiring an agent and staying in the draft. It hurt, but nothing could compare to the devestation that's spreading from Comcast Center this afternoon.

My first reaction was that it's better to have Gary go out on his own terms, rather than having the press and some terrible fans asking for his resignation during the epic 15-12 season that is facing the Terps this season.

But then I watched this video. 5 times in a row. Tell me it doesn't give you goosebumps and bring a tear or two to your eye. Or this one...

Thank you, Gary for 22 amazing years. You took the program from its darkest hours to the top of the college basketball world, and always brought a tremendous amount of passion and dedication to campus every day. You have been the face of Maryland basketball for years and your retirement will be felt by all Terp fans. In other words, you will be missed. In this lig, there were none classier, and none who I'd rather have on the sidelines of Comcast. *FIST PUMP!*
