I don’t even know where to begin with this one.  I believe I heard a stat that of Maryland’s last 19 wins, none of them were by more than 9 points.  That certainly was not the case last night as Maryland punished visiting Morgan State 62-3.  I think this is exactly what everyone wanted to [...]

Hard to believe week two is already upon us, but after a short week, the Terps are going to have to be ready in short order for the Bears of Morgan State.  There has been much said about the short turn around, and it appears the Maryland coaching staff was prepared for this all summer. [...]

If you are like me, you had to do a little research to find out a little about Morgan State, and their football program.  You just don’t see them on the sports news shows on a daily basis.  Like the Terps they started the season off with a win over a local team, defeating Division [...]

Unless I’m describing my eyes, I don’t usually throw the word “Beautiful” around much, but for this weekends Morgan State game, I think it is time to dust it off.  The forecast for this Saturday is absolutely beautiful!  But before I get too far ahead of myself, let’s take a quick look at where we [...]

Sophomore defensive lineman Masengo Kabongo is leaving the team according to Patrick Stevens.  If there was ever a name for a football player, Kabongo was it.  He was not in Baltimore for the Navy game, and was not in the two deep on the depth chart.

There are a few things to get caught up on here.  First of all there are some congratulations to pass around.  Joe Vellano and Kenny Tate were honored by the ACC this week. Secondly the plan to play Danny O’Brien was in the works all along. I suppose I am all for getting the backup [...]

Whew, that is all I can say.  Never in a million years would I want to play that game again.  The Terps managed to foil Navy…somehow.  In fact the more I think about it the more trouble I have believing it.  I was there, didn’t Navy have the ball for like 40 minutes (just checked [...]

On the eve (ok 2 eve’s) of the Maryland football opener, according to the Baltimore Sun, The University of Maryland will name Kevin Anderson the new athletic director.  Anderson comes to the Terps from Army.  On the surface, the move does not thrill me. I heard Army and it didn’t exactly excite me.  I knew [...]

Now that Earl is out of the picture and people all up and down the East Coast breathe a collective sigh of relief, it’s time to shift focus to the Navy game.  This is the time of year where the dog days of summer start to wane.  The sun gets up later, and sets a [...]

Time is running short.  While Hurricane Earl is not going to impact the game, it has impacted my travel plans.  We had planned on going down to spend some time in Annapolis with my wife’s family tomorrow morning, however our flight out of Logan was canceled, and now we aren’t leaving until tomorrow afternoon.  Kind [...]
