Ok, I hate the term throw away season, but that is what it has become.  I hate the excuses.  However, I do have a few things Randy Edsall can do to allow me to give him one more chance.  From the time Friedgen was being let go, until now has been an absolute disaster for [...]

Sometimes I like to dream that others actually care what I think.  I know theUniversityofMaryland’s Athletic Department is interested in what I have to say, but not to the degree that what I ask for will produce any results.  Kind of like listening to my daughters Christmas list.  I care what she has to say, [...]

It was just last week that I wrote about all the grief Randy Edsall was getting and how I thought it was a tad unfair, and that I was willing to give him a clean slate as we head into the final stretch of the season.  I just want to say, I wrote that assuming [...]

This might just actually happen.  Back in the day, prior to Turtledroppings, I used to do weather forecasts for our tailgating group.  The gag back then was that I would do them two months out and see how close I could come to being correct.   Now that I do these forecast out here in the [...]

This week has flown by, but here is this week’s Q and A leading up to Maryland’s big game with Boston College.  Special thanks to BC Hysteria at BC Interruption for taking the time to answer our questions.  Be sure to check in with them for more on the Eagles heading into tomorrows game. 1.  [...]

As if Maryland Basketball could afford to lose any one, it is going to hurt that Pe’Shon Howard will be out 10-12 weeks with a broken bone in his left foot.  This leaves Terrell Stoglin as the lone point guard on the roster.  He was going to play a lot of minutes at the point [...]

For those of you who think God hates Maryland Football, this forecast isn’t going to change your mind.  But before we get into that, lets take just a quick look at where we are with the season.  This weekend sees the beginning of a much easier stretch of Maryland Football, starting with Boston College.  Poor [...]

I follow Randy Edsall on Twitter, and whenever he tweets, I sometimes look at the responses he gets.  To put it simply, they are brutal.  Curse words, jokes, anger.  Everything.  I can’t say it makes me proud to be a Maryland fan, yet I sympathize with the frustration.  However, like a kid on the playground [...]

Well, as if the loss on the field wasn’t enough this weekend, it was announced Kenny Tate will be out the remainder of the season for his knee injury.  What I did find interesting is that he will be seeking a medical redshirt.  I haven’t taken the time to research this, but I believe if [...]

Wow, how about that German Offensive in the Spring of 1918, almost broke the British…oh sorry about that.  I spent the last half of the fourth quarter watching a World War I show I had DVR’ed. Seriously though, all this losing is starting to wear on me.  I knew these past three weeks were going [...]
