Despite a down season for the football program as a whole, a couple of Terps earn All- ACC honors.  Alex Wujciak was voted to the first team defense as a LB, and Torey Smith was voted to the second team as a WR.
Wujciak was second in the ACC in tackles with 131.  He also recorded [...]

I am not sure if a trip to Maui in December can be considered disappointing, but if you are looking at how the basketball team performed, you will have to think they should be disappointed.  In their first two real test of the sesaon, they were out played in both games against Cincinnati, and Wisconsin. 
In [...]

All along, I said playing Chaminade, really doesn’t do anything for the Terps.  Win, and well, that is what is expected.   Lose, and it could be catastrophic.  Well, last night I found something good about playing Chaminade.  Had the Terps had a start like that against a more talented team, and the early deficit may [...]

Reports out of both the Washington Post and Baltimore Sun are indicating there will be a meeting between Debbie Yow and Ralph Friedgen tomorrow.  The Post is going further to say that there is a distinctive chance there could be a buy out of Ralph Friedgen, and even James Franklin.  I don’t think I believe [...]

Well that title may be a little mis-leading, I really don’t know how the football team felt after that game.  But I certainly have mixed emotions.  On the good side, that was a fun game to watch.  There were a couple moments when it looked as though FSU was going to put things out of [...]

Reports are out that Dino Gregory’s suspension will end on December 12th, and will be eligible to play immediately.  There are still no reports of what exactly the reason of the suspension was other than the broad “violation of team rules” explanation the University has given out.  For the Terps this is very good news.  [...]

Can you really project what players are going to turn into after two games?   Not exactly, but two games into the Terp careers of James Padgett and Jordan Williams, I have been pleased.  With the absence of Dino Gregory, and the injury to Steve Goins’ knee, Williams and Padgett are being counted on a little [...]

Just a quick note before I head out the door.  Patrick Stevens mentioned the Terps received a commitment from Ashton Pankey from St. Anthony’s HS. in New Jersey.  That makes four players in the class of 2010, and adds some depth to the front court.  Pankey is currently ranked the #36 power forward by scout.com.   [...]

In a busy weekend for us at Turtledroppings, we haven’t had much time to discuss the the weekends activities. First of all let’s just go ahead and get it over with and discuss the football team.
I don’t have much to say.  Honestly, it was about as expected.   Though I was holding out hope that this [...]

In this half of the Terps basketball preview, we are going to look at the Maryland big men. A year ago, that term was kind of a misnomer considering Dave Neal was the starting center, and he was about 6′5″ and Landon Milbourne moved from small forward to power forward.  Though the Terps have added [...]
