Ralph Friedgen reminds me he was joking.
"When I told you that, I was sitting on my porch having a laugh," Friedgen said.
He's of course referring to a comment he made on my radio show in 2011 that quickly became infamous. After discussing a breakout game for his former wide receiver Torrey Smith in the NFL, I asked him if he still watched Maryland games or found that too difficult.
"I could care less about Maryland," Friedgen said. "I've burned my diploma. I'm flying a Georgia Tech flag right now." (Friedgen had previously served as the offensive coordinator at Georgia Tech.)
