Well, if you look at a certain readers response to the start of spring practice post, you will notice our pal JH said it was very important for Maryland to escape without any injuries.  Wouldn’t you know it, after the first week of practices, a likely starter is out.  Taylor Watson, who was likely penciled [...]

Well, if having your tournament life sucked out of you on a buzzer beater wasn’t bad enough, the Maryland Football Team started to build toward rectifying the disaster of 2009 yesterday.  That’s right, no sooner does basketball end for us, spring football is there to keep us busy here.  The first of 15 practices was [...]
