Nolan Carroll will be on the field Saturday fulfilling his captain duties when the coin is tossed prior to kickoff against MTSU.  His presence will hopefully motivate his fellow teammates.  I think it’s a great opportunity for the fans to show their appreciation for the 5th year senior.  He is unable to receive a 6th year of [...]

Just one more day of work until Saturday.  I’m much more excited this week than I was last week, probably because I’m going to actually be at the game this time.  That’s good news, but what is better news, how about this weather huh?  I don’t know if everyone is paying attention to this, but [...]

Currently running at the Washingtonpost.com website is a live college football question and answer session with the football writers.  I posted a question regarding the Terps and they were kind enough to answer.  Me: Last week against JMU the Terps rotated Meggett and Scott at running back. Is Scott dinged up or does Friedgen still [...]

I was hoping to get to this last night, but sometimes things don’t always go as planned.  Alas, here is what us Terps fans need to know about Middle Tennessee State for Saturday’s “big” football game. First of all, QB Joe Craddock is gone.  If you remember last year he torched the Terps with a [...]

I have a few minutes to kill, so I thought I would throw out a few of my notes for the Terps’ next opponent, Middle Tennessee State.  Just in case you do not remember (or were on another planet), the Terps went into MTSU last year, and lost.  It wasn’t so much that they lost, [...]

A: What are three things people don’t like to watch? That’s my Johnny Carson Tribute.  Though that may be an exageration, at least about the Maryland Rutgers game, I am completely stunned that this match up is going to be on ESPN 360.  Now maybe I’m living in the past thinking this game would have entertainment value, but [...]

Rutgers and Maryland will face off on Saturday September 26th at 3:30 pm and the game will air on ESPN 360 only.  For those of you locally, who don’t have fast internet service, this is not good news.  For those of you who live far from ACC country, at least you will be able to [...]

The Terps did just enough to squeak by James Madison last night at Byrd Stadium in over time, but late in the 4th quarter, they were dealt a bigger loss.  Nolan Carroll suffered a broken tibia, and you can start to see how this season is going to go.  Carroll is the one corner who seems [...]

The athletic department at the University of Maryland has long term leases on 41 of the 64 suites at Byrd Stadium.  That number is 7 short of the number required to pay the annual debt requirment for the new Tyser Tower addition.  In today’s Washington Post  the university also reports having only sold 357 of the [...]

It’s Wednesday that means it is high time we all got over the Cal debacle.  Look, it sucked but it’s time to move on.  Whether we lost that game by 1 or by…some other number larger than 1, it doesn’t matter.  It’s in the past.  It doesn’t hurt our conference record and we are still [...]
