| Love when good things happen for good people, esp when they're Terp Fam! Congrats to Scott Van Pelt, whose midnight SportsCenter show re-locates from ESPN's Bristol, CT, headquarters tonight to Washington, DC. SVP is a Maryland native who unabashedly wears his Terp love on his sleeve... and it brings such a huge smile to my face knowing one of our school's greatest and most visible ambassadors has moved back to the DMV to be close to his family and our alma mater.
