As mentioned in my earlier post, I was lucky enough to score some tickets to this afternoon’s game.  Fortunately I get to use the word “lucky” in that first sentence, it could have very well been unlucky considering how far I have to drive to College Park now days, but I was very excited about [...]

Though there were no games this week, I think you could pretty much sum of the state of Terp Nation by the Washington Post’s indepth article on Gary Williams that came out Thursday Morning.  It brought out a lot of Gary haters, but at the same time also brought out a lot of Gary supporters.  [...]

I just wanted to throw out a few things before this CRUCIAL home game today at 4PM.  A win gets the Terps back to .500 in the conference, with some huge landmines remaining on the schedule.  Let’s not worry about them.  In reality, today’s game is a landmine.  Tech is 4-2 against the Terps since joining [...]

Your first chance to see PF James Padgett, the other Terp hoops signee is on ESPN2 tonight at 7:00 PM EST.  Padgett, along with Jordan Williams, are the two lone members of the 2009 class, so far.  Making this game even more appealing is all the buzz around that new target, Lance Stephenson (6’5″ SG).  He is a [...]

Here is a video of future Terp Jordan Williams shattering the backboard for Torrington HS.  We look forward to seeing you soon Jordan! Jordan Williams Shatters Backboard

Wow, It has been a while since I have written one of these pregame previews like this.  As you all should know by now, Virginia Tech travels to Comcast Center on Saturday (Public Address Announcement:  It is also Valentines Day) to take on our beloved Terps.  Virginia Tech got its beginnings way back in 1872 [...]

The ACC, at long last, has officially released the 2009 Maryland Football schedule.  We knew from Cal, the Terps would open the season on the road September 5th.  September 12, James Madison will be home opener at Byrd Stadium.  Below is the remainder of the schedule. September 19    Middle Tennessee  (Home) September 26    Rutgers (Home) [...]

Not much going on at Turtledroppings tonight, but check back tomorrow at around 11:00 am as the 2009 Football Schedule gets released.  We know who all is on it, Rutgers, Cal, Middle Tennessee State, but we don’t know in what order (actually we do know we open in Cal).  So get your calendar out and join [...]

With the men off for the week lets take a minute to give the high flying Lady Terps some of the spotlight.  OK, so Turtledroppings.com isn’t really a spot light, maybe more of a flash light, but still let’s give the ladies their due.  Last night, up in Beantown, the 11th ranked Terpette’s knocked off BC [...]

I know a lot of you don’t have the time to read all the info out there on the Terps so I kind of read everything from time to time and report items of interest.  Patrick Stevens of the Washington Post had an article about local players invited to the NFL Combine.   Six Terps were [...]
