How much fun was last Saturday?  It was one of the few times in the season where I got to watch the game with a bunch of other Maryland fans/friends and I had a blast.  Looking back in hind sight, I remember more about swapping stories of our college days and out of hand tailgates [...]

It is here.  The beauty of New England winters.  I am not talking about the blizzard of 78.  Nor am I not referring to the recently completed Winter Classic.   I am also not referring to the Bean Pot.  It is the Maryland at Boston College Basketball game.   For a guy who spent his childhood and [...]

Now that we are two games through the ACC schedule, it is time to take a look at where the Terps stand as of today.  The Terps got a nice win over a ranked (soon to be unranked) Florida State.  Following the loss to the Terps on Sunday, FSU went and blew a lead at [...]

Sometimes writing a post is easy.  Other times I wonder if I’m not coming from out in leftfield leaving everyone who is reading wondering where the heck I was coming from.  So this post is either going to be spot on, or leaving everyone scratching their head. But I’m fine with the Terp’s loss to Wake Forest.  [...]

As much as it would be nice to have a few days to savor our win over Florida State (one of our first legitimate wins on the year), there is no rest for Gary Williams and the boys, for they will be traveling to Winston-Salem to take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons this Tuesday.  [...]

It looked like fine times at Comcast Center again tonight.  There was a little more intensity in the building, and a few more fannies in the seats it appeared.  The ACC opener was here, and for the first half it looked the Terps were going to make it a cake walk. Eric Hayes and Landon [...]

Good bye non-conference schedule, hello ACC Schedule.  Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching the Terps no matter who they play, but there is something special about playing ACC games.  And for some unknown scheduling process, the Terps are among the last teams to get things going despite both the Terps and the Noles having [...]

First of all thanks to everyone who participated.  I thought the contest went really well.  Well enough to leave us scrambling for an idea for the upcoming NCAA Tournament.  That isn’t an official announcement, but the odds of us not doing one are pretty long.  So thanks for all your interest.  Last Thursday we officially ended [...]

Officially the Champ has been crowned, but there are still a couple in house rivalries to play out.  She we are going to carry this out to the bitter end.  Tonight America will be treated to the GMAC Bowl which features Central Michigan vs. Troy.  This will serve as a nice appetizer for the National Championship Game on [...]

As I mentioned earlier, I don’t like to get to excited about recruits who are verbally committed.  Actually I don’t get to excited until I see them on the court/field for that matter.  I don’t need to run down the list of people who were supposed to be Maryland Basketball or Football players, only to [...]
