By this time this isn’t really news, but more like a Thank You.  About 10 days ago I wrote about potential cuts to the Football Program and how the team may have to skip flights in order to bus to some of the games in the State of North Carolina this year.  Well the Maryland [...]

Maryland Basketball lands another highly rated national recruit for next year’s incoming class.  Matt Bracken is reporting Mychal Parker has commited to Coach Gary Williams and will play for the Terps next year.  Parker is a 6’6″ SF who currently plays for the Miller School in Charlottesville, VA.  He rated as a 4 star player [...]

With so much going on in the football season, it was a nice treat to get a little basketball nugget today.  Senior PG, Greivis Vasquez is one of the 50 players listed on the Wooden Award Watch list for 2009-2010.  If Vasquez can maintain last season’s stats he will leave the school as one of [...]

With the season fast approaching, and us here at Turtledroppings devoting so much of our time blogging about Terps football, we figured we needed to get a look at some of the other teams in the ACC.  If you remember a while back we did a Maryland Preview Q & A with our friends at [...]

We all knew the offensive line was the biggest question mark for the Terps coming into this football season, and through the first week of camp and first scrimmage, there hasn’t been much change yet.  Now as stated in the recap of the first scrimmage Coach Friedgen was trying different people to look at potential [...]

I think this is it.  The last in our series of Meet the Newbies.  We have not done David Mackall, but he is off to Prep school with the hopes of joining the Terps in January, or next Fall.  So we will wait on him.  Otherwise this is it.  And to show how random our [...]

As the summer heat rolls on in College Park, the Terps practiced in full pads for the first time on Friday.  Today will be the first two-a-day with a scrimmage set for the afternoon.   As the season nears, it appears Ralph Friedgen is going to use this scrimmage to see if there are any players [...]

Well the suspense is over for Terps Defensive Lineman Dion Armstrong.  We will not have to wait until the end of summer session 2 to find out if Armstrong was going to make the grade as he informed Ralph Friedgen today that he intends to transfer. The loss leaves the Terps with even less career [...]

It was only a matter of time when you think about it.  The economy is in a tough spot and when stuff like this happens, the first things to get cut are the non essentials.  Of course the term “Non Essential” is a relative term.  For example for the University of Maryland, non essentials are [...]
