Maryland

What happened

Maryland opened with a 62-0 win over Hampton, which is exactly the kind of scoreline that tells a fanbase nothing and comforts it anyway. The turning point came the moment the margin stopped being a question, freeing everyone to move directly to dread: one fan logged "our only win this season in the books" before adding "now come the dark times." Another was less interested in the scoreboard than the sideline, hoping the head coach might "completely disappear." At 1-0, the celebration lasted about as long as the first quarter.
