Each of the following events occurred in 1989:
- A new President, George H.W. Bush, took the oath of office.
- The Exxon Valdez ran aground, dumping 11 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound off the coast of Alaska.
- The TV show "Seinfeld" premiered.
- "Batman" was the highest-grossing movie of the year.
- The Chinese government violently crushed student protests in Tiananmen Square.
- Madonna's "Like a Prayer" was the year's hit single.
- Golfer Michelle Wie was born.
- The University of Maryland's women's basketball team last won an ACC Regular Season title.
The Terps have a chance to make some new history in Miami tomorrow (Sunday) when they take on the University of Miami Hurricanes at 2 PM. If they win, it won't matter what happens in the Florida State game against Wake Forest that starts an hour later. A victory by Maryland would lock up (at the very least) a share of the ACC Regular Season title, and the Terps would enter next week's ACC Tournament in Greensboro as the #1 seed. (You can watch the game on ACC Select, or listen on Terps radio.)
20 years is a long looooong time to wait. Go Terps . . . beat the U!

How funny is it that we picked the same theme for our preview? I missed the Batman thing though.
