If you are squeamish like me, you may want to skip this post.  Late Sunday night a car hit a deer in front of my house.  The deer suffered a fatal injury yet still managed to gallop (or fly) 30 yards up my driveway before finding its final resting place.  As luck would have it, [...]

One of these teams is 3-0 and in the middle of a very successful season.  Can you guess which one that is?  Here’s a hint, they didn’t lose to Temple.  Now I’m not saying the Terps are going to have their hands full (as I do the nervous loosening my collar gesture), but don’t think [...]

Well just moments ago Randy Edsall Tweeted this weeks uniform combination for the Towson game.  Maryland will be wearing the black helmet, with red jersey, and black pants.  I figured the gold was gone after last week.  Not sure how much luster this has anymore, but since Cecil is on the payroll over there on [...]

How quickly things can change in the sports landscape.  As Danny O’Brien was leading the Terps down the field in the waning minutes of the WVU game, many of us fans were dreaming of a new era in Terps Football where Bowl appearances are assumed and Top 25 polls were watched.  But since that interception [...]

Normally I hate change.  The CW here in Baltimore put the King of Queens on at 6:00 pm bumping one of the Simpson’s from what was previously the best two hour stretch of the day.  Simpsons-Family Guy, Simpsons-Family Guy from 6-8:00.  Now it goes KOQ-Family Guy-Simpsons-Family Guy.   AND THIS IS PROGRESS??  But sometimes change can [...]

I don’t think there are many Terp fans that thought the Georgia Tech would be anything other than a noon or 12:30 start.  And sure enough the Terps are going to be on ESPNU with a noon kickoff. Certainly beats the ESPN3 internet treatment. 

Well, you could almost see the writing on the wall with this one.  Randy Edsall stated in his teleconference today, that suspended wide receivers Quintin McCree and Ronnie Tyler will be inserted back into their starting rolls starting with the Towson game this coming weekend.  Is it panic time for Edsall, or did he decide [...]

As bad as the play was on the field yesterday, and it was bad, really bad, I am more upset with a comment Randy Edsall made after theg game. “It was an experience, all right,” he said. “One that I’m not happy with. Nobody said this was going to be easy. There are lessons to [...]

Not sure what can be said about this effort tonight.  First and foremost I think Temple deserves a tip of the cap.  The way they played today we could have played that game 10 different times and I don’t think it is a stretch to say Temple would have won all 10.  Just complete domination [...]

-I posted my weather forecast the other day and now have to do the walk of shame back to my computer.  The chance of rain has gone from 30% to 70% which is a pretty big jump.  The Temperatures should be the same with the exception of the low being higher due to the cloud [...]
