The October 2nd home game for the Terps is set for a 6:00pm kickoff. This game will be broadcast on ESPN3. Thank goodness this game won’t be the third consecutive 12 noon start. Tailgating starts at high noon. Sphere: Related Content

I wrote in the comments section of our WVU Q and A that the Terps needed to come out strong in order to have a chance in Morgantown.  All our famous road disasters revolve around disastrous starts, and Maryland really needed to avoid that in order to have a chance.  I should have made that [...]

The day is finally upon us.  We are currently about a half an hour outside of Morgantown.  The weather is brisk, but the forecast looks to be perfect.  There isn’t a lot of news to report out of the Maryland camp, outside of the fact that Will Yeatman is going to play and with a [...]

Greivis Vasquez has signed his contract with the Memphis Grizzlies.  Now he can get on to the business of playing in the NBA, or should I say he can get on with the business of healing so that he can play in the NBA, as he is coming of an ankle injury.  The general thinking [...]

You have to feel for a guy who gets into the game, and then gets injured on the first play of his college career.  That is the case for Maryland Redshirt Freshman Marcus Whitfield.  An MRI confirmed a torn ACL and MCL.  Whitfield did play on a special teams play against Navy, but this was [...]

All kinds of topics to discuss here quickly.  First of all with West Virginia looming this week, the two schools announced an extension that will allow the Terps and Mountaineer’s to play through the 2017 season.  I think for all parties involved this is a welcome development.  One item to note is, West Virginia requested [...]

Not that this is a whole lot to brag about, but Maryland is receiving votes in both the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll.  In the AP Poll they went from zero votes to 6, and from 3 to 7 votes in the Coaches Poll.  Again this is not ton to be proud of, but [...]
