First, a bit about atmospherics and a new experience for me. As I’m Washington, DC-based I was able to attend the Maryland game in person. Thanks to O, press credentials were even wrangled. Though I didn’t need a press-box seat, I did head up the elevator at halftime to go check things out. That ended up being the same time Alan Haller and (I’m fairly certain) Otis Wiley headed up as well. Alan shook my hand and we exchanged introductions - we’ll pretend he knew exactly what The Only Colors is. I’ll send him an email.
As we emerged from the elevator, new MSU President Kevin Guskiewicz and a few others were waiting to head down.
