Be sure to check out a nice Miami site Canes Pundit for a Q and A I did with them a couple of weeks ago.  This was well before the scandal dropped.  I think my prediction will be a little different now.  Stay tuned for our questions with Canes Pundit in the coming days.  I have [...]

I wanted to touch on the Maryland Football depth chart last night when the news of the Miami suspensions came down.  The one glaring question I has was where was D.J. Adams?  He was not listed on the runningbacks at all. Very strange I thought.  Well today it comes our Randy Edsall has said he [...]

I was all set to discuss the Maryland Football depth chart tonight (and I still may get to it), but the NCAA has announced its punishment of eight Miami Hurricane’s.  Earlier this week, most likely stater, Jacory Harris thought he would be playing.  Today the NCAA said (in my best Lee Corso voice) “not so [...]

Traditionally I do a weather forecast as part of game week.  And while I still plan on keeping that tradition alive, since we don’t have a Saturday game, look for the forecast to come out possibly Friday.   OK, so what is with the post where you tell me about a future post?  Well after suffering [...]

Well a thin front line, just got taller.  This time the Terps went to the Ukraine in order to bring in 7 foot 1 center Olexiy Len.  Is he going to be a star?  I wouldn’t bet my lunch money on it.  Is he going to contribute?  Just from a numbers stand point he is [...]

Not to make light of a terrible situation, but in my house Hurricane Irene has been a welcome guest.  Sure my garden is under water (we measured 11″ of rain here), but I now have enough downed branches to stock up the wood pile.  And not only that, we never lost power.  Heck we even had [...]

I am not sure how this got by me yesterday, but the ACC officially rolled out the 2011-2012 Basketball Schedule.  Below is the Maryland schedule.   Date Opponent / Event Location Time / Result 11/04/11 vs. NORTHWOOD (Exh.) College Park, Md. 8:00 p.m. ET 11/13/11 vs. UNC WILMINGTON College Park, Md. 8:00 p.m. ET Puerto [...]

Head Coach Randy Edsall was on with the Sports Junkies, 106.7 WJFK, this morning and made the comment that he likes the all black uniforms out of all the combinations.  He also stated that he will not have any input on which colors they wear this fall.  He is going to leave that to the [...]

When I tell people who aren’t that close to our Basketball Program that the future of Terps Basketball is indeed bright.  I hope they don’t throw our upcoming 6-24 record in the 2011-2012 season, back in my face.  Let’s be clear, immediate future of Terps is pretty dismal, long term future, couldn’t be brighter. Today [...]

What a week.  An earthquake on Tuesday and a Hurricane gunning for the Mid-Atlantic later this weekend.  First the earthquake, last year I was woken by a slight tremor in my in-laws basement that I quickly assessed to be a minor earthquake and then went right back to sleep, not sure if I just had [...]
