Nick Novak is back in the NFL.  The Baltimore Sun is reporting that the former Maryland kicker has signed on with the San Diego Chargers.  If you go back to my draft post, you will note that in addition to Hill and Davis in San Francisco, Heyward-Bey and Bruce Campbell in Oakland, we now have [...]

The deadline for Terrapin Club members to renew their football season tickets is June 1st and is fast approaching.  In a conversation with a fellow season ticket holder we discussed the price of football tickets and their high cost of $41.71 per game.   As sporting event tickets go in this town I would say they are [...]

Just when I was starting to think the Maryland Basketball coaching staff was starting to get some continuity going again, likely the top recruiter on the staff, Chuck Driesell is off to the Citadel for a head coaching gig.  Obviously, you hate to loose assistant coaches, but at the same time it is nice to [...]

With the end of the 2010 Draft, two Terps have been selected by NFL teams.  Though there were no big named Terps such as last years Darrius Heyward-Bey, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some former Terps who can’t help out on Sunday’s. First to go was Bruce Campbell, who like Heyward-Bey is now joining Jason [...]

The Terps are down to a final practice before Saturday’s Red White Game at Byrd Stadium.  It seems things have gone about as expected for the Terps, and a lot of players have gotten some much needed experience. First on the quarterback front it appears Jamar Robinson will be the starter.  In the few quotes [...]

I did not attend the Maryland Basketball Awards Banquet, but I can imagine it was a great night, and kind of sad at the same time.   You could not have three players who did so much for the team in different ways.  Landon Milbourne, went from averaging 1 point his freshman year, to scoring [...]

Turtledroppings.com would like to congratulate the University of Maryland’s Competitive Cheer Team (or is it squad?) for winning the 2010 National Championship.  The Terps beat out the University of Louisville for the crown.  For the Terps this is their 4th championship in 5 years.  Can you say dynasty?!?! Want to see some highlights?  Click below: [...]

Well, the first annual Turtledroppings.com Bracket Challenge has come and gone, and we have a winner.  Unfortunately, for the bank account here at TD, Bob or myself did not win, so we will have to pay out, Jodi A!  This is amazing considering, she was in dead last for almost the entire contest, but she [...]

The news trickling out of spring football has not been very exciting this year.  That is both good and bad.  The good news is there haven’t been a ton of injuries, the bad news is, there just hasn’t been too much news worthy.  Last night however, was the first scrimmage of the spring, and there [...]

Lance “Born Ready” Stephenson is leaving Cincinnati for the NBA.  You may remember Stephenson as the pivitol piece of the story that the Washington Post ran on Gary Williams’s inability to recruit.  Stevenson had Maryland as one of his final schools, but as the spring grew closer to summer, he decided to cast his lot [...]
