Maryland is not getting just one new football uniform this season, but technically they’re getting 32. The Terps unveiled their new digs at a “fashion show” earlier today… with players showing off all the new jersey and the pants colors that that they have to chose from.

Police File Charges Against LSU Football Players For Fight

While most NBA players are balling summer leagues and trying to get overseas during the lockout, the Lakers Luke Walton is over here padding his resume and preparing himself for life after the NBA. Having realized he’s never get off the bench during the final two years of his contract, Luke has decided to work as an assistant to Memphis basketball coach Josh Pastner until the lockout ends that is… because I doubt Memphis will be playing him anywhere close to the damn near $6 million Luke be getting from the Lakers over the next two seasons to sit the bench.
