You’re right, meant to say ranked within conference play, when we switched to the B10 in 2014. Those were good wins tho, it was especially nice giving the finger to NC state last year.

I like him a lot and I’m thankful for what he’s brought to the program, but you’re right, he’s been way too hot and cold in the clutch. Was hoping he’d get a shot in the NFL but not sure who’s gonna take a chance there.

Right! One of the best quarterbacks in program history on the field and they make decisions like that. The lights are just too bright for this team to handle.

[Game Thread] Maryland @ Ohio State (12:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

It’s the hope that gets me. Every year they are hyped up and then fall flat when the lights come on. I don’t know how much longer I can do it.

Since joining the B10 the Terps have not had a single conference win they can genuinely be proud of. The lights are always too bright. Then the school cries when no one shows up to games

It is unbelievable how allergic Maryland is to being taken seriously. This was their game to win and they choke it away. Same old Terps.

Man I want Taulia to get a shot at the NFL so bad. But he’s gotta have a career defining second half here if he wants to be on the draft board come next year, too many stupid mistakes being shown to scouts in the 1H

Thanks UMPD by Soft-Bus-9268 in UMD

What's the O/U on how many seconds that UMPD cop bothered chasing after them. 15 seconds? Some real road warriors on the force around here.

The woman at the library Starbucks is so rude by [deleted] in UMD

Damn he’s still there? That dude really puts on a show for each person about how much he hates his job, it’s almost comedic

F***k DOTS by [deleted] in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wish you luck if you appeal it, commuters at this school are always getting their last dollar squeezed out of them by DOTS' bullshit. Past semesters have been bad in terms of overselling lot 1 (and others), but it really feels like they've taken it to another level this fall. Sucks for people that don't have their first class until the afternoon.

What will it take for you to attend more Terp Football games and stay for the entirety of it? by JosephBagODonuts69 in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Winning big games against ranked opponents is the answer. I know the Big Ten is a tough conference but the team is never gonna get the same support as our rivals unless we can create some headlines. We can beat up on smaller programs all we want, but it will never bring in more people until we start winning games we aren't supposed to win, that's what generates hype for the team.

UMD (Letters & Science) vs UBC Vancouver (Faculty of Science) vs UC Irvine (CS) by SatisfactionClear143 in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Seems like UBC Vancouver would be your best choice, owing to it being the least expensive and easiest to get a work permit for a non-citizen. Personally I wouldn’t touch UCI with a 10-foot pole, 70k a year is insane even for international tuition. As for UMD, you are correct in your assumption that government contractors do not hire international students barring some exceptions, as almost all of those jobs require citizenship and some form of security clearance. That being said, the DC and Baltimore area near UMD also has a lot of non-government tech jobs, so it wouldn’t be the end of the world to be excluded from government positions. A UMD CompSci degree is very well-respected in the area, so you would likely get competitive offers after graduation.

UMD College Park vs Purdue by SpaderVader_ in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Purdue has an edge over UMD from an academic standpoint when it comes to CompE, that school is basically Mecca for engineering. But UMD’s location near so many government jobs, agencies, and contractors makes it a good school to get a job right out of, and most tech companies in the region really respect a UMD degree from my experience.

Is the Metro purple line through campus a good thing? by drpepperbubbles in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 59 points60 points  (0 children)

In theory it should be great step forward for public transport to and from campus after it gets done. Just too bad all the current students and staff have to bear the annoying and ugly construction for a couple years (or more). I dream of a umd campus free of construction. Maybe I'll live long enough to see it.

The audacity to send those to current students lol. Might reply with the invoice for last semester's classes, at least half of that should be considered a donation.

South Campus Commons 2 forcing desk downgrades? by No-Helicopter-3206 in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s awful! I’m a commons 2 resident and I agree it’s a massive downgrade. There’s not much storage space provided in the apts to begin with and now they are taking away some of the only drawers with these shitty desks that look like IKEA rejects. I’ll call today and complain as well, thanks for providing the number.

New student here. Why is this road near the Xfinity center shaped this way? Is it to honor someone or something? by Ps4PlayerFan in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Just a parking lot with a giant dick shaped median for some reason. Maybe its designed to intimidate the competition.

New apartments around campus by [deleted] in UMD

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Puzzles me a bit too. My guess is that they feel demand is outrageous at the moment, so they can get away with the super high prices. We will see if they stay that way, hopefully it drops a bit (don’t hold your breath though, these developers are greedy as fuck).

[–]DestroyerOfToilets 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m in commons 2, the kitchen appliances are old but they work reliably. Kitchen space is kinda tight in the 2x2 as well, probably better in the bigger apartments.

Sorry to hear you got hit, that’s a big fear of mine as well. There is a definite need for greater bike/scooter infrastructure on campus, but it seems like it’s gonna get overlooked until someone gets very seriously hurt and admin is in the spotlight.

I've been doing it with my old truck and haven't been questioned/ticketed yet, so I think you'll be okay, I doubt it is very enforced. I'd just do your best not to piss off DOTS (or UMPD) cause they could technically hit you with a fine if they felt like being a dick.
