Gary Williams can't get no love these days, and Maryland faithful are singing the blues.
Fans are getting peeved, bloggers are getting distraught, recruits are nowhere to be found, and the coach's own athletic department is calling him out. Heck, even Williams' anti-perspirant hasn't shown him any affection, ever.

Until this happens, bet that the Terps will be nothing more than a shell of a team.
Kyle Weidie also writes Truth About It and contributes to Bullets Forever, both Washington Wizards blogs. Because of this, some may call him self-loathing.
