I am sure all of you are waiting with baited breath on how you stand in your chance to win a prize from one of our sponsors.  I have to appologize I was a little slow getting this out because of the weather, but here you are. Winner so far:  Wyoming, Rutgers and Middle Tennessee [...]

Just a quick note, we intend to keep the contest updates coming quickly, but mother nature kind of threw us a curve ball this weekend.  Actually curve ball is a little too gentle of a term.  How about Mike Scott and Gaylord Perry had a conference on how to scuff a baseball, then gave it [...]

The Terps Junior Offensive Lineman Bruce Campbell is going to enter the 2010 NFL draft.  He was to be the anchor of the line this year, but was kind of limited to due to a turf toe injury.   Early projections have him projected as a middle first round draft pick. I can’t say that I [...]

The University of Maryland has announced Nick Ferrera and DL A.J. Francis were named to the Sporting News All ACC Freshman teams.  Ferrera had a solid season as a place kicker (18 of 25), and more impressively, did a wonderful job as the backup punter filling in for the injured Travis Baltz. Francis started 10 [...]

It’s tough to find a lot to write about this time of year.  That is sort of why we came up with the Bowl Pick’em contest.  But since my daughter is currently being hypnotized by her new Max and Ruby DVD, I figure I would take a second to write a post.  I just wasn’t [...]

Even with Greivis Vasquez starting the game on the bench as punishment for being late to a team shoot around, the Terps took a commanding early lead only to have to scratch and claw for 40 minutes to get the win.  With Vasquez coming off the bench, Adrian Bowie started in his spot, and fresh [...]

A mid-December game against Eastern Kentucky, wouldn’t normally elicit a ton of interest, but this is the game where Dino Gregory is expected to make his return to the lineup.  The Terps will be very happy to back another big man, if for nothing else, some added depth. The problem is Maryland is going to [...]

I just wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the Villanova game.  I don’t have the stats in front of me so I’m not going to get too indepth, but I will say that I was as pleased as can be for a Maryland loss.  Don’t get me wrong, I was pretty grumpy [...]

And now that I have your attention, Turtledroppings.com would like to be one of the first people on the internet to congratulate Vernon Davis for his 10th Touchdown of the 2009 season.  With this touchdown, Vernon now holds the record for most touchdown passes caught by a TE in 49er history. We are especially proud [...]
