Terps and Clemson Preview

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

There once was a time when Maryland Basketball had their way with the TIgers.  From 1998 to 2004, the Terps defeated the Tigers 13 straight games.  Since 2004, the record is only 2-6 including that 3 game sweep in 2005.  Conversely, football is the opposite, but we are here to talk about basketball. Just a [...]

Couple Notes for a Snowy Day

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

I love the snow.  I know my writing partner does not because he lives in Boston and has to plow, but I love it.  So earlier in the week when it was supposed to snow a lot here in Maryland, I was pretty excited.  Unfortunately the models got together and decided not to share their pot [...]

VD in the Olympic Games

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

When I first heard the news I was about 20% sure I heard it right.  But thanks to Google, it turns out the comment I heard on the radio was indeed correct.  Former Terp and current 49′er TE Vernon Davis has been named the honorary Captain of the US Curling Team!  (VD in the Olympics) [...]

Some Quick and Exciting Terps Football News

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I know it is really hard to think about Maryland Football at the momement, while the basketball team is flying so high, but over on the Washington Post, there is post on the Terrapin Insider, that Maryland and Notre Dame are in negotiations for a football game at Fedex in 2011.  Nothing concrete yet, but [...]

Terps Roll Past Canes

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

In what is becoming a trend, Maryland started hot early and went on to cruise to another home ACC victory over an inferior opponent.  Miami has had the Terps number since joining the ACC, but last night it was all Maryland, thanks to another total team effort and a really good defense showing.  The victory [...]

Hurricane Warning

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Now as I write this, I have talked to a couple of friends in the Maryland/DC area and everyone is talking about the wind and rain, and unseasonably warm weather.  So no I am not talking about the weather, rather the pending potential disaster of a visit from the Miami Hurricanes.  The potential disaster will [...]

Terps Roll Through the Pack

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

“They just played harder than us.”                                  -Javier Gonzalez, NC State I think that quote says it all.  In fact you can use that quote for the many of the last few games the Terps have played in.  I think it is safe to say they are on a roll.  Last night was another W [...]

The Red Coat Is Coming

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Living in Boston, I probably shouldn’t start yelling anything about the Red Coats, but Sidney Lowe may try to conjure up some magic in College Park today by wearing his famous red blazer.  He sure needs some magic against the Terps.  Sidney’s NC State team is 0-5 against Maryland all time.  If you are one [...]

A Little Terps Catch Up

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Sorry for the delay in getting this out, but the New England winter reared its ugly head again, and to top that off my Comcast internet service was out.  I hate to bad mouth a Corporation that donated a ton of money to Maryland to get the naming rights to the basketball arena, but I [...]

So Who Is Longwood

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I always anticipate the release of the basketball schedule.  I pour over the thing and immediately sign off potential W’s and L’s and then calculate our chances of making the Tournament.  When I first saw the 2009-2010 schedule three things popped into my mine.  -How likely would it be to talk my wife into going [...]
