Why Terps tanking this season is for the best

Maryland fans are unquestionably already tired of hearing about the debacle that transpired last Saturday, as the Terrapins were manhandled by Bowling Green.

The Falcons were assumed to be one of Maryland’s less-challenging opponents in 2015, and a loss as crushing and perplexing as this is rather difficult to put into words. Personally, after experiencing the five stages of grief following the loss – denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance – I have finally come to terms with it.

Instead of harping on what changes the team should have made earlier at quarterback, or how the team should scrap their offensive playbook entirely and start from scratch, I propose to offer a unique, big-picture perspective on the situation.
