There are a lot of question marks coming into 2010, but LB and RB’s aren’t any of them.  In fact if I was as confident in our LB Corp and RB’s as I was every other aspect of the football team, I think we’d be looking at a 10 win season.  But alas football doesn’t [...]

One thing we wanted to try and do this year, was a pregame question and answer post with a blogger from that weeks opponent.  As luck would have it we face Navy first, and I got in touch with The Birddog.  Mike was nice enough to answer quite a few questions for us as we [...]

I know I still owe a RB preview, but as I was checking the National Hurricane Center website, which I do daily from June 1-November 1 each year, and I couldn’t help but notice the 5 day forecast for Tropical Storm Earl (Map courtesy of the NHC of course).  Now chances are that like most [...]

Last football season was a disaster.  No question.  If you have to ask yourself to think of a bright spot from all the injuries last year, you are likely going to say that the injury to Chris Turner gave Jamar Robinson some game experience against some tough competition. One thing that did was put to [...]

One of the more heralded recruits out of Baltimore took off this summer to attend Florida.  Before the summer camp has ended he has decided to come back home and will transfer to Maryland.  Adrian Coxson was granted his release by Florida, and will be forced to sit out this year due to NCAA transfer [...]

(In my best Jerry Seinfeld voice) What’s the deal with all these injuries?!?  Is it me or do we sit through this every year?  I am still with Ralph Friedgen and I think he is the guy to turn this ship around, but I swear, if Ralph does get canned, I am not going to miss [...]

When you look at the Maryland depth chart, there are several positions that seem a little thin with experienced upper classmen.  Wide receiver is not one of those positions.  Not only does the Terps, and possibly the ACC’s top playmaker reside there, they bring back a whole stable full of talented players that could really [...]

Tonight at 6:00 Gary Williams will be part of Andy Katz College Basketball Coaches show.  I don’t know anything about the show other than I saw Gary’s name on the bottom line while I was watching the Phillies and Mets last night.  Also featured will be John Thompson III, and Jamie Dixon.  The show will [...]

Well we drew straws and I got the Defensive Line preview.  I actually promised Chris this would be done a long time ago, but as you can see I found it much more appealing writing about Will Yeatman’s broken finger than sitting down and examining our DL.  I mean lets be honest.  Crack a few [...]

Ugh, and so it begins.  The Baltimore Sun is reporting that Will Yeatman has broken his finger and will be out 6 weeks.  You can view the Sun’s post here.  This of course is bad news.  The Terps weren’t that deep in the TE spot and the role looked to be Yeatman’s for the taking.  [...]
