Turtledroppings.com – Maryland Football And Basketball Blog

I have moved on, and though I am not making the trip down to College Park for the JMU game, I am ready to watch on ESPN360.  I am excited, ok that may be an exaggeration, interested maybe a better word, to see what the Terps are made of.  This game may only be against [...]

Most of you may already know this, but today is a big day for Turtledroppings.  Over the end of the summer we were invited by Raycom Sports (TV Broadcast Partner of the ACC) to be a contributor to their Maryland Blog on the new and improved Raycom Sports Site.  The site officially launched yesterday and [...]

The beauty of football in September is there is another opportunity to show what your made of 7 seven days after your last game.  For the the Terps, that is the good news.  The bad news is they have a long list of things to try and get fixed.  Maryland will be looking to quickly [...]

First of all, even with the game being such a downer, the trip its self was everything I hoped it would be (minus a football win).  I think Bob summed it up when we were walking back to our room, there were so many times on this trip where I thought it was the highlight [...]

Shawn Merriman was arrested at his home yesterday after his celebrity girlfriend Tila “Tequila” called police and reported that Merriman had choked her.  Merriman spent 3 hours in jail before being released on bail.  His lawyer stated that Merriman was trying arrange transportation for Mrs. Tequila from his home and that she was very intoxicated.  [...]

Well after hanging out at Golden Gate Park and watching hippies and homeless people smoking marijuana out in the open all morning, it is time to go to Berkeley.  I’m a little nervous because San Francisco has a lot of weird people, and when our cabbie found out that we were going to the game [...]

I really hope I do a good job recapping Friday in San Francisco, because quite honestly, there are some among us who don’t (or won’t) remember what all we did last night.  I can’t help but feel as I’m writing these that I’m working for the San Francisco Tourist Department, but again yesterday could not [...]

In an article here http://www.mercurynews.com/topstories/ci_13243146 Jahvid Best talks about his durability or lack there of this spring and summer.  That may be the biggest hurdle between him and the heisman trophy this year.  He missed the final three games of his freshman season.  One game and parts of 3 others last year.  Smaller guys tend [...]

I have finally gotten around to doing this, and let me tell you Bob has been a trooper posting in the wee hours.  But let’s be honest, those stories are best told through his writing and not mine. I would like to say that while Bob was posting last night, we had the local news [...]
