Well if anything is to be learned from this excersion, it’s that you can’t run away from your problems.  I leave the area and things just get worse.  But I am here in St. Louis living these past few days under the Gateway Arch.  You really can’t do anything without feeling as though it is [...]

There are lots of news items coming out of the Terps athletic department today.  So not only we staring down the barrel of a 1-4 start with Clemson coming into town this week, there are some other items of concern.
First lets stick with football.  It appears Travis Baltz is going to miss the Clemson and [...]

And that’s the good news.  I am getting ready to board a plane to St. Louis for work.  It could not come at a better time.  While the bad news from this weekend is getting shoved down our throat for the next few days, I’ll be on the otherside of the Mississippi, safely tucked away [...]

As we all know by now the Maryland-Clemson game has been set for the dredded noon kickoff.  If there is any consulation it is that apparently (and by apparently I really mean “Miracously”) this game is going to be on ESPNU.  I guess that makes sense since movies such as “Titanic” and “Gone With the [...]

When you need some bright news in the Maryland Athletic department, you used to be able to depend on the basketball team to provide that information.  There were a few years where that wasn’t the case, but Gary Williams seems to have the Terps moving in a real positive direction again.   For his troubles last [...]

The game will be broadcast on ESPNU.  This may be the first of several noon starts for the Terps.

As Maryland went ahead on Nick Ferrara’s FG with a little over 6 minutes left, I felt a sigh of relief, but only for a brief second.  There was way too much time left for that to be the final score of the game.  It almost had the feel of a basketball game where the [...]
