Before I get into the Terps, I just want to say that today was my first 100% Snow Day, not Liberal Leave, not come in late, but pure 100% Snowday, since high school.  Even in the Presidents Day Storm (Click here to read an article on that very subject written by my dad President\’s Day Snowstorm 2003) [...]

Maryland continues to impress at home.  They rung up a 92-71 victory over the reeling Tar Heels.  It was a game that looked like Maryland was going to blow it up at the beginning, and Carolina made a game of it, before the Terps put them away late. The first half was a shooting display [...]

Despite the record or near record snow the DC/Baltimore area received, life goes on, and more importantly, Maryland Basketball goes on.  The storm has been so big, my Mom has been emailing pictures all day, with the title of Epic Storm. Thanks to a really heads up move by North Carolina, (they flew in a [...]

I know this is supposed to be a blog about Maryland sports, but you can’t possibly think for one second that I can let the possibly biggest snow storm in the history of Maryland pass by without some sort of comment.  Afterall, in terms of hobbies, weather is the biggest rival I have to sports.  [...]

Maryland got the road win we so desperately wanted to see.  A close game, where they had to fight for all 40 minutes.  This wasn’t the type of game we saw early in the ACC schedule when the Terps were seemingly firing on all cylinders.  This was a game where there were a lot of [...]

I heard rumblings this was about to be announced today, but some how it slipped my mind after Signing Day.  So here we go.  The big change up is the Navy game got switched from Saturday the 4th until Labor Day (Monday) at 4:00. My initial take on the schedule is, the away schedule is [...]

I know not everyone is able to go out to College Park to attend the signing day celebration, but if you wish to follow along live, the athletic department is providing a live feed. Sphere: Related Content

Tomorrow is National Signing Day.  The day when all prospective college football players submit their letter of intent to the University that they will attend in 2010.  It kind of takes me back to the day I committed to the University of Maryland.  Of course there was a lot less fan fare surrounding that decision.  I [...]
