Humanitarian Bowl
Bronco Stadium, Boise, Id.
Maryland vs. Nevada
Date: Dec. 30
Time: 4:30 p.m.
TV: ESPN
Line: Nevada –2.5
About Nevada: The Wolfpack hails from Reno and have wins over tremendous programs such as Grambling and Utah State. They managed to hold Missouri to 69 points. They’re already 1-0 in the state of Idaho, beating the Vandals, 49-14. I guess their best win is over Fresno State. Except that win isn’t that big of a deal.
Intangibles:
Casinos in Reno: +3
Rest of Reno: -5
Near Lake Tahoe: +6
Near rest of Nevada: -4
About Maryland: This team was so inconsistent, they should be on meds for bipolar disorder. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde would be offended to be compared to these loonies. Just when you thought they were going to be awful, they’d win a few. Then you’d think they were going to win, they’d lose to some suckass team. It was enough to drive Ralph Friedgen to eat … even more, I mean.
Intangibles:
Coach nicknamed “Fridge’: +2
Six fans traveling to Idaho: -1
Must protect their house: -3
School colors are red, yellow, black, white, green and blue: -2
Impact Player: Either Maryland QB Jordan Steffy or Maryland QB Chris Turner. I’m not sure which one starts any more. Whichever one it is – he should not suck if the Terps want to win. Or it could be WAC Offensive Player of the Year Nevada QB Colin Pumpernickle, er Copperhead, er.. Kamameajingleheimerschmidt. That guy. He’s pretty good.
Bowl slogan: “We didn’t expect you to come, either.”
Little known fact: That blue field annoys the crap out of me.
Watchability (1-5): 2.3
The Pick: Nevada 24, Maryland 23

Can Fridge's diet get any worse? What has added now? Real terrapins? Ummmm! That's a tasty tortoise.
