@Lester Burnham said, no one in Bmore (most of the state, really) gives a crap about UMD football. Ravens fans actually completely LOVE their Canes, and for **** good reason.
MD football fans are, to generalize, entitled brats who couldn't get in to Penn State, UNC or Duke. They don't really care about their football team, they only use it as a conduit for hating on those who are better than them, like Miami, etc.
I've never seen a more ridiculous college football atmosphere than at the two MD home games I've attended, one as a Miami fan, the second one still wearing my Canes gear, but it was a Clem$on game that I went to with a bunch of Tigger fans. That was the only time I've ever truly rooted for Clemson and meant it. You'd think the Terps would have no good reason to care about Clemson, much less hate them, but those people were absolute pricks.
MD basketball fans is a different story, although they have a bit of a trashy streak too. MD football has absolutely zero redeeming qualities.
